“Shiseido Afternoon Tea Feast”
We started the afternoon tea with something savory to whet the appetite. The fried shrimp sandwich is one of Shiseido’s signature dishes.
Crispy yet soft toast holds crunchy fried shrimp, while the special sauce and mayonnaise balance everything perfectly. The most inconspicuous supporting player is actually the most important. The finger-licking sauce is the soul of the dish.
You can taste the fresh sweetness of the seafood as soon as you bite into the freshly fried shrimp. Whether for afternoon tea or a regular meal, I recommend ordering one.
The “assorted dessert plate” I was looking forward to the most
The refreshing aroma of matcha is ideal with fruit. The slightly bitter tea flavor paired with seasonal fruit is the prelude to the desserts.
The berry mousse combines raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries, with just the right balance of tartness and sweetness. It’s very refreshing and smooth like ice cream.
The caramel pudding pairs rich, milky pudding with wonderfully fragrant caramel, making its aroma bloom in your mouth.
The chestnut parfait and strawberry parfait perfectly represent the transition from fall to winter. The delicate and adorable mini parfaits are still elegant, with a different flavor in every bite from top to bottom. Chestnut on the left and strawberry on the right, from fall to winter, from maple leaves to the snowy season.
It was like seeing a symphony of two seasons on one plate.
The orange cake was surely the “encore” of this symphony.
The lingering orange flavor, followed by a sip of lemon tea with a sweet finish, brought this culinary feast to a perfect close.
I liked the food here so much that afterward, I bought some shelf-stable sweets as souvenirs from the gift section on the first floor.
