An elegant Halloween, unlike any other!
The "Halloween Afternoon Tea" is curated by Naoaki Okamura, Executive Pastry Chef at Shangri-La Hotel, Tokyo. The pumpkin mont blanc, charmingly shaped like a witch's hat, is a chocolate delight. The persimmon tart offers a delicate balance of sweet persimmon and custard cream. The opera, with its beautiful, chic purple hue, is finished with figs and blueberries.
A cup adorned with a ghost motif holds a milk chocolate mousse. Within the rich chocolate cream and caramel mousse, pear compote adds a fruity dimension.
The savory selection is equally impressive. Highlights include a saury teriyaki sandwich, subtly flavored with sansho pepper and shaped like a bat; a tart of mushrooms and ginkgo nuts; and a Jack-o'-lantern shaped monaka filled with foie gras and pumpkin mousse. These creations are as visually striking as they are deeply flavorful.
Shangri-La Hotel, Tokyo's "Halloween Afternoon Tea" promises an elegant Halloween experience, distinct from the usual. Indulge in a luxurious afternoon with a collection of over 20 varieties of fine teas.
