Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo is getting festive this winter with a cacao-themed afternoon tea series, set to start in December and run through Valentine's Day. Hosted from the hotel's lobby lounge Le Jardin overlooking the Japanese gardens, the event consists of two chapters that each boast their own unique and chocolatey theme.
Available Dec. 1 through Jan. 15, the Aromatic Cacao Afternoon Tea will be served from noon to 6 p.m. on weekdays for ¥3,800 and offers such fragrant delights as rich raspberry chocolate bonbons and rose-scented chocolate ganache.
The second part of the series is the Chocolat Rouge Afternoon Tea, which runs from Jan. 16 to Feb. 14. It is held in the same venue for the same price and is available on weekdays from 2:30 p.m. and from noon to 6 p.m. on weekends and holidays. The more fruit-filled of the two themes, this chapter features chocolate mousse drizzled with strawberry sauce and white chocolate-dipped strawberries coated in dried fruit, among other tart berry creations.
