The Ritz-Carlton, Kyoto is the only restaurant in western Japan to offer afternoon tea featuring sweets from Pierre Hermé Paris, and its seasonally changing flavors are popular. The theme of this year's summer afternoon tea, which marks the 10th anniversary of the collaboration, is "Jardin de l'Atlas.
Starting with a fragrant welcome tea, guests can choose two of their favorite drinks from the hotel's original Darjeeling, Japanese tea, and a variety of other beverage selections. The savory menu this time includes small portions of dishes using summery ingredients such as corn and foie gras tart, coca (a thin cracker-like dish) with a mature taste marrying the bitterness of sweetfish and water melon, and granola made with plum, mint, and fresh cheese. Sweets include cheesecake Jardin de Latras with citrus fruits such as orange and lemon, rich in flavor and aroma of orange blossoms and honey, Pierre Hermé's classic Carrément chocolat, and macaroons that change daily. Visitors can fully enjoy Pierre Hermé Paris while savoring an extraordinary experience in a luxurious space.
