New Strawberry & Chocolate Afternoon Tea at Four Seasons Tokyo

Thursday, December 14, 2023

Starting on January 16, 2024, romance will blossom at MAISON MARUNOUCHI, the Michelin-selected Parisian-style bistro located at the Four Seasons Hotel Tokyo at Marunouchi. Embrace the season of love with the brand-new Strawberry & Chocolate Afternoon Tea, featuring luscious seasonal strawberries and premium chocolate – a timeless favorite for lovebirds.

Adorned in shades of red, pink, and white, the fresh Afternoon Tea menu glistens with the enchantment of a winter romance in Tokyo. Whether you’re celebrating Valentine’s Day, White Day (March 14), or simply enjoying a special date night, couples can anticipate a magical dining experience, enriched by indulgent flavors and the warm hospitality of Four Seasons.

Executive Pastry Chef Patrick Thibaud remarks, “From January to March, Japan experiences the peak season for strawberries, offering our guests the opportunity to savor the finest harvest. The natural sweetness of strawberries pairs exquisitely with the velvety smoothness of chocolate – a truly heavenly combination.”

Indeed, both ingredients have captivated the hearts of lovers throughout history. Strawberries, admired in Ancient Rome as a symbol of Venus, the goddess of love, have been cherished across generations for their heart-shaped form and vibrant red hue. Chocolate, meanwhile, has symbolized passion since the era of the Aztecs.

A Match Made in Heaven

This sumptuous spread is served in the sunlit ambiance of MAISON MARUNOUCHI, framed by iconic Tokyo vistas. As Shinkansen bullet trains glide past, lovers will find all the inspiration they need to reflect on their journey together and dream new dreams side by side.
