HOTEL AO KAMAKURA Offers Hydrangea-Themed Italian Lunch & Afternoon Tea Overlooking Shonan Coast

As Kamakura enters the hydrangea season in June, HOTEL AO KAMAKURA will be decorated with seasonal flowers both inside and out. Its fourth-floor restaurant, 'Ombra blu,' will offer a special menu inspired by hydrangeas on select dates.

'Ombra blu' is a limited-opening restaurant produced by Chef Kazuhiro Kageyama, known for his work at 'Bakery & Restaurant Sawamura' and 'THE CITY BAKERY.' Under the concept of 'cuisine that delights the five senses beyond just taste,' the chef utilizes carefully selected local ingredients to create artistic dishes.

The special menu includes a three-course Italian lunch (appetizer, pasta, and main) followed by an afternoon tea-style dolce selection. For June, the dolce features two dessert plates inspired by hydrangeas and a third plate featuring the chef's playful 'mignardises' (bite-sized sweets).

**Event Details:** * **Dates (June):** 6, 8, 13, 14, 15, 20, 21, 22, 27, 28, 29 * **Dates (July):** 4, 5, 6, 11, 12, 13, 18, 19, 20 (Holiday) * **Time Slots:** 12:00 / 12:30 / 13:30 (Reservation required) * **Price:** 8,000 JPY (including tax) * **Venue:** Ombra blu, 4th Floor, HOTEL AO KAMAKURA

Additionally, the hotel offers a 'Weekday Solo Travel Plan,' allowing guests to enjoy the tranquility of Kamakura with a choice of a traditional Japanese breakfast by 'Kamakura Matsubara-an' or a Western breakfast featuring bread from the local bakery 'BREAD IT BE.' It serves as an ideal base for exploring Kamakura's hydrangea spots.
