A Luxurious Strawberry Experience for Winter
This winter-limited afternoon tea features a diverse selection of treats, including fresh strawberry tasting plates, strawberry canelés, strawberry macarons, jellies, and tarts, combining sweet and savory elements. Both the chef and pastry chef, certified strawberry sommeliers, have carefully supervised the overall balance, applying their expertise while "gently harmonizing" each component. They've prioritized the balance of sweetness, acidity, and texture, creating a refined strawberry experience. The presentation elegantly combines pink elegance with sophisticated black accents, creating a photogenic display perfect for a winter afternoon. Guests can immerse themselves in a sweet and gentle world, as if stepping into a romantic story woven by strawberries.
Strawberry Tasting Plate Highlighting Individual Characteristics
Strawberry Tasting Plate
Five varieties of strawberries are presented for guests to enjoy, highlighting differences in aroma, sweetness, and acidity. Each strawberry reveals its unique personality and depth, with every bite offering new discoveries. The plate, adorned with red, glossy strawberries, is visually stunning and creates an exciting tea time experience that delights the heart.
Romantic Strawberry Sweets
Dress Cake
A light and fluffy sponge cake layered with strawberries and cream, creating a strawberry shortcake.

Elegant Sweets Stand
The stand combines charm with refined sophistication, creating a visually delightful presentation that's as enjoyable to look at as it is to taste.

Comments from the Strawberry Sommeliers
Fukumoto Takashi
"For the savory items, we carefully layered the ingredients' aromas and subtle saltiness to harmonize with the strawberries' fragrance and acidity. We focused not only on the contrast with sweet treats but also on creating 'complementary dishes' that enhance the strawberries' intrinsic appeal."
Nakase Tomohiro
"To maximize the strawberries' aroma and acidity, we meticulously adjusted the sweetness and texture balance for each sweet. We finished each item with diverse approaches so guests can enjoy different expressions of strawberries with every bite."
