This stunning afternoon tea is inspired by Tomokazu Matsuyama’s exhibition ‘First Last’, which is now showing at Azabudai Hills Gallery. The two coinciding events are a unique way of introducing art through food, created by the talented chefs at Janu Tokyo’s Janu Lounge & Garden Terrace.
Bites are embellished with intricate imagery from works shown at the exhibition, with items showcased on the first and third tiers taking inspiration from Matsuyama's art pieces including 'Passage Immortalitas' and 'Keep Fishin' For Twilight'.
Highlights from the sweets menu include a decadent New York cheesecake with white chocolate, Janu's signature 'Januron' macaron, and a sakura and berry mousse featuring seasonal fruit. As for savoury options, look forward to a roast beef open sandwich made with beef sourced from Matsuyama's hometown in Gifu prefecture, and a salmon mousse and vegetable mille-feuille topped with caviar. Of course, no afternoon tea is complete without scones, and here you can enjoy a selection of plain and cherry scones served with unique spreads like soybean whipped cream and koji syrup, in addition to the obligatory strawberry jam.
Reservations for the afternoon tea can be made online.
