Sendai Royal Park Hotel (6-2-1 Teraoka, Izumi-ku, Sendai) will be offering a hydrangea afternoon tea set for early summer from Saturday, May 2, 2026 to Sunday, July 5, 2026. The set is wrapped in soft hydrangea hues of pink, purple, and blue, inviting guests to enjoy an elegant afternoon.
The lineup includes a fruity and refreshing blueberry roll cake, a crispy tart topped with fresh melon, and cookies coated in vibrant blue butterfly pea chocolate — all items befitting the early summer season. A standout is the parfait, in which strawberry bean paste is shaped to resemble hydrangeas, layered with smooth almond jelly, crumble, apricot compote, and butterfly pea jelly for a balanced combination of sweetness and texture. On the savory side, smoked salmon trout is paired with a mousse of red onion and fresh cream, served alongside a light red shiso jelly that delivers a refreshing acidity with a gentle sweetness. A chicken roll infused with fragrant shallots is complemented by purple cabbage marinade. The color palette of both the sweets and the savory items has been carefully considered — making this an afternoon tea set to enjoy while overlooking the hotel's lush garden.
