Lounge "Somerhouse," on the 2nd floor of Yokohama Bay Hotel Tokyu (Minato Mirai, Nishi-ku, Yokohama; General Manager Shingo Yagi), is serving an "Afternoon Tea - Chestnut -" from Friday, October 16 through Monday, November 30, 2026.
A Chestnut-Filled Afternoon Tea to Savor All to Yourself
Chestnuts, a beloved taste of autumn, take center stage throughout this seasonal afternoon tea. The lineup includes a Mont Blanc that pairs the chestnut's gentle sweetness with the texture of a tart crust, a Chestnut Butter Sandwich where rich marron butter cream meets the deep sweetness of candied chestnut, and a savory Chestnut and Cheese Quiche — a full chestnut lineup for enjoying the season.
A chestnut parfait is also served on the side. Made with three kinds of chestnut — steamed, candied, and shibukawa chestnuts (inner skin left on) — it comes with a fragrant yuzu jelly and a crunchy crumble, while a rich hojicha ice cream brings out even more of the chestnut's sweetness.
The hallmark of Somerhouse's afternoon tea is a tea stand set for each individual guest. The colorful sweets and savories laid out before you are yours alone to enjoy, in both look and taste, at your own pace — making it just as comfortable for solo diners. Spend your tea time taking in the view of Minato Mirai in a bright dining room lit by large windows.
