Afternoon tea where you can enjoy as many sweets as you like in a buffet style. For Strawberry Sweets’ standard strawberry shortcake, we use “Nyobo,” which has a strong sweetness and just the right amount of sourness. The lightly sweetened fresh cream and the moist sponge made with rice flour bring out the sweetness and freshness of the strawberries. The perfect match for Paris Brest, which is a crispy choux pastry sandwiched with plenty of cream, is “Amaou,” which is aromatic and has a good balance of sweetness and sourness. It is a beautiful dish, with the glossy, red-ripened “Amaou” shining like a jewel. For Crème d’Anjou, which uses a rich fromage blanc, we carefully select the best domestically grown strawberries at that time of year and mix them into a rich strawberry puree. Please fully enjoy the sweets that bring out the charm of each strawberry to the fullest. Furthermore, among the sweets with a zodiac motif, there is a snake-shaped brioche sandwiched between strawberries and cream. Please pay attention to the different expressions of each cute snake with its tongue sticking out. In addition, the chocolate mousse with its dynamic decoration in the shape of a snake made from coconut jelly is eye-catching, and you can enjoy the rich flavors of raspberry-flavored chocolate mousse and crème brûlée. We also have a chocolate fountain where you can enjoy to your heart’s content the hotel’s original chocolate “Grande H” created by Kaneko, the head pastry chef, in France. Enjoy the special chocolate that can only be found at Grand Hyatt Tokyo, with its rich and powerful cacao and spicy woody aroma, mixed with your favorite ingredients such as strawberries. Savory offers sandwiches with Iberico ham and cream cheese on strawberry-flavored melon bread, quiche where you can enjoy winter vegetables, and homemade smoked salmon and rapeseed that are slowly smoked for 7 to 8 hours with cherry wood smoked chips. We offer 5 types of tartines, including tartine on baguette. Enjoy a gorgeous moment to celebrate the start of the new year with an afternoon tea made with strawberries, featuring sweets prepared by a pastry team led by a chef who has won world championships, and savouries packed with the passion of the head chef of the “French Kitchen.” I hope you have a good time.

We combined cacao from Tanzania, a rare cacao with a small amount of distribution, and cacao from Mexico, which is said to be its origin, and finished it with approximately 70% cacao. The one produced in Tanzania is characterized by a complex nuttiness and refreshing fruitiness. Furthermore, the Mexican product has a strong cacao flavor, and you can feel the spiciness and woodiness in the aroma of licorice (Amakusa). The sourness and strong bitterness of cacao combine just right, giving you a rich and powerful cacao flavor and aromas such as spiciness and woodiness. Furthermore, the aroma and deep sweetness create the perfect harmony. This chocolate, named “Grande H”, comes from the hotel’s Italian word “Grande” and the initial “H” of Hyatt and Kaneko’s names.
