Tokyo Marriott Hotel (Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo; General Manager: Naosuke Sato) will launch 'Afternoon Tea ~Amber Hour~' from Tuesday, September 1, 2026, to Saturday, October 31, 2026, at Lounge & Dining G, the first-floor restaurant of the hotel. This special afternoon tea celebrates the autumn harvest, featuring seasonal ingredients such as sweet potatoes, chestnuts, and pumpkins.

Nestled in Gotenyama, a serene and nature-rich area within the bustling city, Tokyo Marriott Hotel offers guests a seasonal afternoon tea experience that reflects the changing of the seasons. This autumn’s highlights include 'Kasama Chestnuts' from Ibaraki Prefecture, 'Tōrō Mitsuimo'—a refined sweet potato variety developed in Kumamoto—and 'Ōhama Miyako', a premium Hokkaido pumpkin. Grown in Japan’s renowned chestnut-producing region, Kasama chestnuts are known for their delicate sweetness and rich aroma. True to its name, 'Tōrō Mitsuimo' offers a honey-like sweetness and a dense, velvety texture that elevates autumn desserts. The 'Ōhama Miyako' pumpkin, cultivated in Hokkaido’s well-drained sandy soil and distinct temperature variations, boasts a rich sweetness and fine flesh, which intensifies in flavor and depth when cooked, enhancing its natural pumpkin aroma.

The dessert menu features eight luxurious items, including a layered parfait showcasing all three ingredients and a perfectly balanced Mont Blanc where chestnut cream harmonizes with sponge and whipped cream. Savory selections include a tangy seafood tomato soup and marinated Jamón Serrano, offering four dishes that perfectly complement the sweet offerings.

At Tokyo Marriott Hotel, located in the tranquil Gotenyama district away from the city’s hustle, guests can enjoy an elegant tea time infused with the pastry chef’s meticulous craftsmanship, celebrating the bountiful gifts of autumn.

We carefully selected ingredients from Hokkaido, Ibaraki, and Kumamoto to deliver the fluffy, creamy textures and natural sweetness and aroma of each ingredient.
