Rihga Royal Hotel Kyoto will offer a basket-style Picnic Afternoon Tea Set filled with delightful strawberry sweets from March 1 (Sun) to May 6 (Wed) at its lounge. The hotel is located in Shimogyo Ward, Kyoto.
The Picnic Afternoon Tea Set presents charming strawberry-themed picnic sweets packed into an adorable basket.
The strawberry sandwich, styled to resemble a tulip with its beautiful cross-section, layers fresh strawberries and kiwi fruit with fluffy whipped cream and sponge cake. Each bite reveals a gentle sweetness and delightful texture. Other offerings include pink strawberry chocolate-coated strawberry donuts, strawberry jam cookies adorned with tiny strawberry patterns, and fresh strawberries served with generous condensed milk. The hotel pastry chef has created a total of seven sweets themed around a stylish picnic. The savory selection features french fries served in a playful potato case, adding a whimsical touch to the basket presentation.
The original drink Siestea pairs perfectly with the Picnic Afternoon Tea Set. This beverage evokes the feeling of an afternoon rest, featuring tea syrup infused with dried fruits. The refreshing black tea gently carries the mild sweetness of dried fruits.
The lounge features picnic-themed props available for photo opportunities with your sweets.
A limited accommodation plan (2 guests per day) includes the Picnic Afternoon Tea Set. On check-in day, guests can enjoy elegant picnic sweets at the lounge, marking a delightful start to their stay.
The calming, well-designed lounge provides the perfect setting to enjoy a stylish picnic afternoon tea experience.

The Thought Behind This Dessert
I created these adorable strawberry sweets with the image of a stylish picnic in mind.
I focused carefully on the presentation so that opening the basket brings the excitement and delight unique to a picnic.
I hope you enjoy the picnic atmosphere while experiencing these heartwarming moments.
Original Drink
Siestea: A non-alcoholic cocktail using black tea syrup infused with dried fruits
Creator: Staff Member Chika Tsutsui
The Thought Behind This Drink
The name combines "siesta" (Spanish for afternoon nap) and "tea."
I wanted to create a drink that allows guests to spend a relaxing picnic moment, so I combined refreshing black tea with the gentle sweetness of dried fruits.
Please enjoy a pleasant tea time with your picnic sweets.
