At Shangri-La Tokyo (Marunouchi, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; General Manager: Matthias Sutter), the Lounge & Bar "The Lobby Lounge" will serve a "Strawberry Afternoon Tea" from December 27, 2026 (Sunday) to January 31, 2027 (Sunday). The menu combines seasonal strawberries with a variety of ingredients and blends Japanese and Western flavors. Sweets and savories highlight the sweet-tart, juicy character of strawberries for a winter tea time.
Sweets
Five sweets show a different side of the strawberry in each dish.
The Strawberry Fraisier is a traditional French cake with strawberries lined up along the cross-section, sandwiching a mousseline of custard and butter between almond biscuit layers. The Orange Caramel Croissant Dome hides orange confit and plenty of caramel cream inside croissant dough baked into a dome shape. The Strawberry Tiramisu is a glass dessert that layers sponge soaked in strawberry syrup with strawberry and raspberry confiture and mascarpone cream. The Raspberry Madeleine has a vivid red color, using raspberries in both the batter and the jam, and is served with chocolate and fresh raspberries. The Dubai Chocolate Cookie Sandwich puts rich pistachio paste and kadaif between cocoa-scented chocolate cookies, and its bitter flavor and light texture make it a fitting finish to the desserts.
Savories
Five playful savories bring out new sides of the strawberry.
The Lily Bulb Soup is a warm soup with the refined sweetness and smooth texture of lily bulb, along with its soft, fluffy bite. In the Green Tortilla with Cured Ham, Strawberry, and Nuts, the saltiness of the ham and nuts sets off the sweet tartness of the strawberry. The Pâté de Campagne, Mascarpone, Beet Tart, and Strawberry Chips pairs the richness of pâté and mascarpone with strawberry chips as an accent. The Parsnip Mousse with Scallop, Strawberry, and Kumquat layers the savory flavor of scallop over the gentle sweetness of parsnip, with the fresh acidity of strawberry and kumquat tightening the taste. The Black Rice Inari Sushi with Snow Crab, Wasabi Caviar, and Trout Caviar tops black rice inari sushi with delicate flaked snow crab and two kinds of caviar.
Scones
Three scones are offered: the Classic, the Setouchi Lemon, and the Whole Wheat Anko Butter Sandwich. The Classic highlights rich butter flavor, while the Setouchi Lemon brings the refreshing taste of Setouchi lemons with their mellow acidity. The Anko Butter Sandwich pairs sweet red bean paste and butter with a simple-textured scone that spreads the natural toasty aroma of wheat.
They are served with basil sour cream and clotted cream, plus a choice of one jam or honey from four options: strawberry jam, blueberry jam, yuzu marmalade, or Japanese honeybee honey.
Pass Around and Souvenir
The free-refill "Pass Around" service brings a Strawberry Tart, with almond cream and chantilly piped onto the tart and decorated with strawberries. From December 27, 2026 (Sunday) to January 3, 2027 (Sunday), guests also receive a Shangri-La Bear cookie with a zodiac motif as a souvenir.
The Lobby Lounge on the 28th floor offers views of the city center and a calm setting for a winter-to-spring tea time colored by strawberries.
