The Lounge by Aman on the 33rd floor of Aman Tokyo in Otemachi, Tokyo, is offering a Halloween version of its travel-themed "Black Afternoon Tea," called "Ghost Afternoon Tea," for a limited time from October 1st to 31st.


This year's Halloween afternoon tea, created by Aman Tokyo pastry chef Yoshihisa Miyagawa, features "ghosts." The tea is stylishly served on an original three-tiered black bamboo tray, with the first tier featuring white and grey meringue ghosts, garnished with a chocolate trunk filled with mixed berries and bordered in a mysterious red, in keeping with Halloween.


A special trunk is brought to the table, filled with adorable Halloween-themed sweets such as ghosts, pumpkins, and bats.
The lineup includes six carefully selected sweets made with seasonal autumn fruits, including petit choux with an adult flavor combining sweet pumpkin and amaretti, a chestnut and pumpkin tart and pumpkin Mont Blanc that fully enjoy the flavors of autumn, a pumpkin and orange cupcake with exciting Halloween colors, bamboo charcoal macarons with striking raspberries, and financiers with an exquisite balance of sweet and tart pear and rich butter flavor. You can enjoy a customized afternoon tea by selecting your four favorite sweets on the second tier of the tray. The third tier is filled with adorable-looking yet delicately flavored savory dishes, such as ghost mousse, beetroot waffles, and foie gras monaka. In addition to the usual plain scones, pumpkin flavor is also available. The blueberry and blackcurrant soup served in a champagne glass also exudes a dark and eerie atmosphere, and is garnished with a marshmallow ghost on the rim, creating a playful and adult afternoon tea experience.

"Halloween Macarons" (5 pieces for 2,600 yen)
Also, Aman Tokyo's annex, "The Cafe by Aman," on the first floor, is offering "Halloween Macarons" (5 pieces for 2,600 yen), perfect for this season, garnished with chocolates shaped like pumpkins, witches' hats, and bats. Enjoy the two different textures of the crispy exterior and the fluffy interior, along with the rich, sweet ganache made from pumpkin, raspberries, and white chocolate.

Enjoy these sophisticated Halloween sweets, packed with the chef's attention to detail, while taking in the view of Tokyo unfolding beneath the autumn sky.
