Chocolatier's masterpiece "Chocolate Afternoon Tea" now available at Royal Park Hotel

Royal Park Hotel will be offering a "Chocolate Afternoon Tea" in the 1st floor lobby lounge "Fontaine" for a limited time from November 1st to November 30th, 2020. Additionally, the 1st floor sweets and bakery "Iki" will be selling "Matcha Sweets and Bread" for the same period.

■A delicate flavor woven with mellow chocolate. Introducing an afternoon tea created with the chocolatier's full heart!

*The photo shows a portion for two people. Our ever-popular "Afternoon Tea" menu changes with the seasons and events. This time, chocolatier Ichiro Shinji's creations are themed around a "chocolate orchestra," allowing guests to enjoy the flavors of various chocolates, including white, black, and ruby.

The delicately crafted chocolate sculpture, which draws exclamations of admiration from customers, features a cellist motif and uses three types of chocolate for a profound flavor.

The glass dessert, which has won a past award, is a perfect combination of rich maple sugar and the bittersweet taste of coffee. The chocolate cream puff is styled like a Mont Blanc and filled with chestnut cream and blackcurrant jam.

Inspired by the desire for a moment of relaxation in the deepening autumn, we will be serving a lightly sweet hot chocolate before the afternoon tea. Take this opportunity to enjoy the harmony of chocolate sweets paired with satisfying savory dishes that are just the right amount of salty.
