Hakone is surrounded by nature, which shows different expressions depending on the season, and even though the lingering heat is still severe, small signs of autumn can be felt everywhere. The upcoming season will be a pleasant one, with lots of fun to enjoy, such as autumn leaves, hiking, and visiting museums. Above all, it is a fruitful season where you can enjoy the taste of autumn. This afternoon tea and cake menu was designed with a focus on the flavors of autumn, incorporating seasonal fruits and ingredients and making full use of the gentle sweetness and aroma of the ingredients. Expectations are high for the unique combinations of ingredients sprinkled throughout, inspired by pastry chef Kazato. In addition, savory items such as vegetable sandwiches and mushroom salads, which are carefully made with health in mind, are also a delight.

Cold sweet potato potage
* [Starter] *
The afternoon tea served by pastry chef Kazato starts with soup. “I want you to experience the excitement of starting a course meal at afternoon tea,” which is the unique desire of Kazato, who has experience working in France. “Soup in French is a special dish that takes a lot of time and effort to make, and its role is to stimulate the appetite and support digestion before moving on to the main dish. Not only did we take care to make it refreshing when the lingering heat of the summer lingers, but as autumn deepens, we’re introducing “Sweet Potatoes” so that you can enjoy the combination of hot and cold in front of the fireplace, which is an icon of the “living room.” We have prepared a cold potage. This is a unique dish that perfectly matches the soft sweetness of sweet potato with the refreshing acidity of raspberry and strawberry sorbet. ”

On the parquet-covered cutting board, we offer scones with an exquisite combination of blueberries and cinnamon, the queen of spices, and whole-wheat scones that are popular for their rustic flavor. The seasonal original jam is made with figs, which herald the arrival of autumn, the season of harvest, and three types of nuts (almonds, pistachios, and hazelnuts), which create a rich flavor and texture, and which combines silken tofu with milk chocolate. We have prepared two kinds of healthy and gentle sweet jams that are fun to mix and match as you would expect from Kazato. It is also served with original clotted cream, which has a refreshing sour taste.

sweet potato and fig cake
The seasonal cake is an opera-style cake that uses the autumn flavors of sweet potato and figs. Kazato says, “Of all the cakes out there, opera is the most creative because it has infinite possibilities through the combination of layers.” This seasonal cake is filled with Kazato’s passion and has dozens of layers of various flavors, including fig compote, sweet potato cream, chocolate mousse, and tonka bean-flavored vanilla mousse. In addition, the plate and cross section of the cake look like paintings and are visually pleasing.
