Travel plans are markedly different this year, but The Strings by InterContinental Tokyo is bringing the world to the metropolis via its Afternoon Tea Journey promotion at Rhythmos Cafe and Bar where diners can savor the flavors of the world until June 30.
A gazpacho from Spain is an ideal start for proceedings before heading to India and savoring a tandoori chicken wrap. Diners are invited to find their way to Britain, where fish and chips are designed to tempt. Across the channel, chocolate eclairs, as well as lemon jelly and panna cotta (a gelatin and cream dessert) await, while further sweet-toothed excursions will see visits to Japan and Antipodean climes.
What makes this afternoon tea event different, however, is that evening sessions — cake and Champagne for dinner are perfectly acceptable, thank you — are also available on weekdays.
