afternoon tea

The weather is finally cooler, so it’s definitely chocolate season.

Saw this afternoon tea (AT) on IG and since I don’t have friends nearby, asked Satoshi if he would go with me

This AT runs from September 4 until November 20 in the Lobby Bar at The Tokyo Edition Toranomon.

Minimal Chocolates which I tried pre-pandemic, collaborated with Tokyo Edition Toranomon and came out with this chocolate AT.

The AT is a two hour affair that started off with a glass of Ruinart Blancs des Blanc champagne, a fruity yet dry champagne

Tasting of tablets, NUTTY (75%), FRUITY (65%) & SAVORY (73%)

These chocolates would be used throughout the AT

Let's start!


Savory: smoked duck foccacia orange peel, sweet potato potage, marinated salmon toast, hogyoku egg quiche, egg sandwich



Sweet: gateau chocolate prime, madagascar chocolate mousse, SAVORY chocolate cake, NUTTY chocolate canele, FRUITY & cacao pulp chocolate mizuyokan
Scones: chocolate & plain scones with chocolate dip & clotted cream

If you wanted, you could ask for more scones...we were so full!
You could order teas or coffees off of their menu (forgot to take a photo of the choices) until they called for last orders.

I had an espresso and coffee, Satoshi had coffee and a caffe latte

The view of Tokyo Tower and the city was nice despite the rain.

Everything was delicious.

The chocolate mizuyokan was different but delicious, the cacao pulp was like pear puree.

It was Satoshi's first AT and I think he enjoyed himself.

I'm glad we tried this.

    Will send you some cool winds, Rowena!

    You should try Japan afternoon tea, V, since most of the sweets are not too sweet.

    Jalna, me too

    Kirk, will be interesting to see what you guys try!

    Summer Queen, will look online, sounds fun, enjoy!

    Take care everyone.
    Kat
