A refreshing summer dessert at Aman Tokyo, gazing at the summer sky in Tokyo

Jul 2, 2022
This summer, Aman Tokyo will be offering a refreshing summer dessert menu at The Lounge by Aman on the 33rd floor and The Café by Aman in the annex on the first floor. The Lounge by Aman will offer a summer vacation-themed "Summer Afternoon Tea" featuring yachts, swim rings, and seashells, as well as a "Nightscape Parfait" to be enjoyed with a drink while taking in the night view. The Café by Aman will offer the "Peach Forêt Dessert," a dessert and savory set made with plenty of fresh, seasonal peaches. Escape the heat and enjoy a refreshing summer moment while gazing out at the Tokyo summer sky from the wide windows on the 33rd floor, or in this urban oasis surrounded by forest.


■The Lounge by Aman "Summer Afternoon Tea"


The 2022 summer afternoon tea is themed around summer memories, such as the seaside and travel. The amuse-bouche of peach soup has a refreshing taste, topped with a light lime and mint espuma. The yacht adorning the top tier of the special three-tiered black bamboo stand is a sweet and sour passion fruit and fresh mango tart topped with rich brown sugar cream and a white chocolate sail, and garnished with a praline ring choux resembling a life tube. The middle tier is filled with fun, summery treats, including basket-shaped raspberry and fig buttercream sandwiches, lemon cake decorated with seashells, and mango mousse topped with chocolates resembling mosquito coils. The cool-toned amber sugar, inspired by sea glass, is available in your choice of color from Aman Tokyo's original antique trunks.


The chef's attention to detail is also evident in the savory dishes on the bottom tier, such as a mosaic of salmon and sea bream made with salted kelp, and a pão de queijo shaped like a small summer mandarin orange with chicken ragu hidden inside. The basil mousse and vegetable jelly in the central glass feature a delightful butterfly pea design. The drink selection is also extensive, including the exclusive "Tea Star" tea selection made with the finest tea leaves from the German tea brand "Ronnefeldt." With the summer sky stretching out in front of the windows on the 33rd floor and the open, chic space, you can enjoy a refreshing tea time on a summer afternoon.

The parfait is topped with three types of ice cream. This refreshing drink features Ecuadorian chocolate ice cream, a refreshingly tart raspberry sorbet, and Campari granita, which combines a subtle sweetness and bitterness. It's topped with chocolate copeau, cherry sauce, and gold leaf. Beneath this is a smooth custard base made with bitter chocolate from Madagascar, topped with a generous layer of juicy seasonal grapes and berries, followed by a layer of red wine baba and refreshing Earl Grey jelly. Accented with kirsch-flavored cherry sauce, the drink is layered with honey and crunchy almond cookies, creating a delicate, delicious flavor that spreads throughout your mouth.

Enjoy this glass-style dessert, inspired by summer nights, paired with a matching brandy or wine, as suggested by the bartender based on your preferences.

■The Cafe by Aman "Peach Forêt Dessert"


"Forêt Desserts" is a dessert set featuring classic French pastries and desserts by the glass made with seasonal fruits, which can be enjoyed with savory dishes and coffee or tea. This summer, we have prepared desserts that generously use fresh, seasonal peaches. The adorable swan choux catches the eye on the top tier of an original wooden stand inspired by ’Otemachi Forest’. Custard cream and peach jelly are enveloped in raspberry cream, with wings shaped with peach-colored ruby chocolate. Savor the fragrant peach in every dessert, including coconut blancmange in a waffle cup, peach pate de fruits, and lime soufflé glacé with a white peach sauce and accents of red currant.

Enjoy a cool summer afternoon in this oasis in the heart of the city, gazing at the greenery of ’Otemachi Forest’ reflected through the glass, or feeling the breeze on the terrace.
