Menu
1st Tier: Main Sweet
Violet Rose Rare Cheesecake Butterfly at Rest
A clear violet jelly spread across the plate evokes a dew-kissed garden. The rare cheesecake is wrapped in a glossy purple glacage, with a crumbly sablé and rich Griotte cherry jelly hidden inside. A Damask rose-scented cream rose crowns the piece, completing a scene reminiscent of a butterfly alighting in a blooming garden.
2nd Tier: Mini Sweets
Rosa di Madeleine
A rich madeleine filled with the fragrance of domestic roses, coated in white chocolate and blueberries to achieve a rose-like form.
Elegant Coconut Guimauve
A soft, springy guimauve with a gentle coconut sweetness, decorated with dried roses and sugar pearls for a jewel-like elegance.
Purple Sky: Lemon-Scented Violet Panna Cotta
Refreshing lemon panna cotta is layered with a floral violet jelly, topped with a small cloud-shaped yogurt mousse for a charming finishing touch.
Blueberry Naked Cake
A soft purple sponge made with blueberry powder, sandwiching blueberry jam and cream in a natural, understated style.
Jasmine-Scented Cloud Lace Cookie
A crisp cookie made with Ronnefeldt jasmine tea leaves, topped with a rose-relief marshmallow fondant in a delicate lace-like design.
3rd Tier: Savory
Beni-Shigure Daikon Rose Garden Salad
A salad showcasing the contrast between the pale purple of beni-shigure daikon and the deep purple of radicchio. The chef shapes the daikon into roses, creating a garden-like display on the plate.
Red Shiso Panna Cotta with Aspic Jelly
Fragrant red shiso blended into yogurt cream forms the base panna cotta, layered with vibrant consommé aspic. A charming glass dish that brings together Japanese herbs and Western technique.
Purple Sweet Potato and Tuna Bruschetta Hydrangea Colors
The savory depth of tuna pairs with creamy purple sweet potato and mascarpone on crispy baguette. The soft purple gradient evokes hydrangeas blooming in the early summer rain.
Scone Plate
Kotori Scone: Earl Grey (with Rose Honey & Rose Mascarpone Cream)
A specially shaped scone modeled after the voco mascot bird "kotori," generously infused with Ronnefeldt Earl Grey tea leaves. Served alongside rose honey decorated with domestic rose petals and a fragrant rose mascarpone cream.
Welcome Drink
Purple Cloud (Mocktail)
A yogurt-based mocktail with a gentle sweetness and refreshing finish, garnished with an edible rose, blueberries, and rosemary. Inspired by a soft cloud drifting across the sky, it serves as a fitting opening to the afternoon tea experience.

Two add-on items are available to complement the afternoon tea.
Early Summer Cheese Cream Pasta Violet Rose

Autumn Edition Also Planned
A second edition of the Cloud Rose Afternoon Tea is also planned for the autumn rose season, under the theme "Autumn McGredy."
