A new chapter of the "Sky Afternoon Tea" series is coming to the top floor of Sapporo Prince Hotel. From May 15 through June 30, 2026, the Sky Lounge Top of Prince will host "Sky Afternoon Tea 'Suicha' (翠茶)," a collaboration with Fukujuen, a Kyoto-based tea house with over 230 years of history.
The theme centers on what happens when Fukujuen's premium Kyoto tea leaves travel over 1,000 km to meet Hokkaido's clean water, dairy products, and adzuki beans. The resulting menu weaves Japanese and Western techniques together, offering a tea-time experience that reflects the character of both regions. Guests can enjoy the set amid panoramic views of the Sapporo cityscape from the lounge's open, elevated space.
Highlights
- Sweets featuring Fukujuen's high-quality tea leaves — matcha, hojicha, and Japanese black tea — throughout the menu
- A separate mini parfait made with Fukujuen's Uji Shincha new spring tea and Uji Matcha Rusk, capturing the fresh aroma of the season's first-flush leaves
- Fukujuen's original confection "Uji no Midori," a specialty rarely found in Sapporo, included on the plate
- Drinks lean into Japanese tea as well, with a green tea cocktail served as the welcome aperitif
- Free-flow beverages include water-brewed sencha and Japanese black tea alongside black tea and herbal tea options
