Ahead of July 31, 2026 Opening, Afternoon Tea "The First Bloom" Pre-orders Begin July 8

【July 8, 2026】Conrad Nagoya (Nagoya City, Aichi Prefecture; General Manager: Marcus Kusch), set to open on July 31, 2026 (Fri), will host its first afternoon tea, "The First Bloom," at the Lobby Lounge & Bar "SUNDROP" from August 1, 2026 (Sat) to October 27, 2026 (Tue). In conjunction with this, pre-reservations to secure your seats early will be accepted starting at 1:00 PM on July 8 (Wed) via the restaurant's official website.

The concept is a harmonious blend of blooming flowers and their fragrances, celebrating the start of a new story. This afternoon tea, celebrating the birth of the new hotel and the "blooming" of a new narrative, offers an extraordinary experience as if you've wandered into a beautifully blooming modern garden the moment you step inside.

The commemorative afternoon tea was developed by Executive Chef Sato and the pastry team, inspired by the radiance of "SUNDROP." Drawing inspiration from the scene of dazzling sunlight moistening the earth like droplets and vibrantly blooming flowers, artistic sweets and savories filled with the aromas and colors of roses, orchids, elderflower, chamomile, and jasmine are presented. Local ingredients are also incorporated throughout, offering a special lineup to enjoy sophisticated design and supreme flavors with all five senses. Please enjoy an elegant and special time with our selection of 25 teas carefully chosen from around the world.

A Sophisticated Dessert Story Woven with Floral Fragrances and Local Delicacies

The sweets adorning the stand are artistic creations, each encapsulating the delicate beauty and fragrance of flowers. "Rose Couture" features macarons colored an elegant purple, sandwiching a rich rose-scented white chocolate ganache with raspberry flavor. "Orchid Crest" is a light cassis mousse with cardamom-scented mascarpone cream and cassis jam hidden inside, finished with an exotic orchid aroma. "Elderflower Bloom," made with lychee that has a floral aroma, is paired with white peach and elderflower compote, with purple sweet potato langue de chat cookies providing a delicate accent.

Furthermore, "First Light," inspired by yellow flowers blooming in the morning sun, is a refreshing lemongrass-flavored mousse topped with Aichi Prefecture honey and Meyer lemon clear jelly, expressing a pleasant harmony of sweetness and acidity. "Blossom Rise," baked with a fragrant almond cream and apple compote flavored with chamomile tea leaves and bergamot juice, is delicately decorated with white chamomile petals made of Italian meringue. The glass dessert, "Jasmine Dawn," layers jasmine-flavored panna cotta with refreshing jasmine jelly, wood ear mushrooms for textural contrast, and juicy Shine Muscat grapes, leaving an elegant aftertaste.

Freshly baked scones are available in two varieties: the glamorous "Lavender and Cassis" and the rich "Fermented Butter." Enjoy a blissful moment enveloped in noble aromas with our original jam made from Aichi Prefecture strawberries and roses, apricot jam scented with orange blossom water, special clotted cream, and seasonal fruits.

Luxurious Savories Elevating Local Ingredients with French Techniques

To complement the sweet aftertaste of the desserts, a total of 5 carefully selected savory items are presented.

The lineup, meticulously layering the aromas, textures, and colors of the rich ingredients and flowers of Chubu and Aichi, forms the prelude. Combining classical afternoon tea with a modern approach, the inherent charm of the ingredients is brought out, painting a story with each dish. We deliver a sensitive and rich savory selection unique to Conrad Nagoya, with a carefully crafted composition that creates textural contrasts.

You can enjoy our special tea selection as much as you like, carefully chosen by Conrad Nagoya's F&B team who personally visited tea gardens across the country.

The highlight is three limited signature blend teas that can only be enjoyed here in Japan. Focusing on "local," "sustainability," and "ethical farming," they elegantly express the rich terroir of Aichi. We offer "Golden Quiet," a blend of Aichi Prefecture Japanese black tea and Assam; "Faint Rose," a white tea with the gorgeous aroma of Aichi Prefecture white roses; and "Bright Lift," where Nishio matcha and strawberry harmonize with sencha. It is a selection with unique characteristics that allows anyone to find their favorite cup.

In addition, we offer a rich international lineup including three types of local pure loose leaf teas, first and second flush Darjeeling, and eight types of caffeine-free drinks that are safe to enjoy before bed.

We also serve coffee from the prestigious Italian brand "illy." Using the latest modular machine and the first-ever single-origin blend introduced in Japan, we deliver a cup with a powerful aroma that modernly expresses Nagoya's beloved dark roast coffee culture (city roast).

To further enhance your special afternoon, we also offer a plan that includes a celebratory glass. Choose between "Clos de Gobelet Ribes Rondom Brut Nature," a sparkling blackcurrant fruit from France that Conrad Nagoya is the first in the Chubu region to handle, or the highly acclaimed luxury non-alcoholic sparkling wine "French Bloom," to elegantly accent your blissful tea time.
