Limited-Edition Halloween Macarons Also Available

AMAN TOKYO's Pastry Chef, Hisayoshi Miyakawa, has made "ghosts" the stars of this year's Halloween afternoon tea.

The first tier of the original three-tiered black bamboo tray features meringue ghosts in two colors, white and gray, elegantly rimmed in mysterious red, placed atop a chocolate trunk filled with mixed berries, heralding the beginning of a "story" with adorable ghosts.

Open the special trunk brought to your table, and you'll find an array of delightful Halloween-themed sweets, including ghosts, pumpkins, and bats. Choose four from six options: a petite choux with a sophisticated flavor of sweet pumpkin and amaretto, a chestnut and pumpkin tart, a bamboo charcoal macaron with vibrant raspberries, and a financier with a exquisite balance of sweet-sweet pear and rich butter.

The third tier presents delicate, adult-oriented savories such as ghost mousse and beetroot waffles, and foie gras monaka. Alongside the usual plain scones, a pumpkin flavor is also offered. The afternoon tea, infused with playful touches throughout, creates a dark ambiance with a blueberry and cassis soup served in a champagne glass.

Additionally, The Cafe by AMAN is selling "Halloween Macarons" in a set of five. Adorned with chocolate in the shapes of witch hats and bats, these macarons offer not only a charming appearance but also a rich, sweet ganache filling of pumpkin and raspberry with white chocolate.
