In conjunction with Tokyo’s on-going ‘Harry Potter and the Cursed Child’ stage production, the premises around Akasaka ACT Theatre was been turned into a Harry Potter plaza. Along with themed decorations, the plaza is also home to a Harry Potter café in the Akasaka Biz Tower, featuring plenty of Instagram-worthy dishes and desserts inspired by the Wizarding World.
The menu offers four kinds of cheese toasties, each representing a Hogwarts house: Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin. Each sandwich has a different filling, such as pork and onion for Gryffindor and smoked salmon and avocado for Slytherin. Each order comes with soup and pickles on the side.
Other ‘magical’ items on the menu include an adorable cake shaped like Harry's owl Hedwig plus a range of colourful cocktails named after spells like the Expecto Patronum that’s topped with a smoke bubble, and the apple-infused Wingardium Leviosa.
