[Grand Nikko Awaji] Featuring Refreshing Japanese Sweets and Awaji Conger Eel: "Summer Cool Japanese Afternoon Tea" Available from June 1st

At the Japanese restaurant 'Awami' in Grand Nikko Awaji (2 Yumebutai, Awaji City, Hyogo Prefecture; General Manager: Minako Hoshino), we will be offering the 'Summer Cool Japanese Afternoon Tea' from June 1 (Mon) to August 31 (Mon), 2026, featuring refreshing Japanese sweets colored by summer vegetables and fruits, as well as luxurious seasonal delicacies such as Awaji Island conger eel.

We have crafted this summer-exclusive afternoon tea using seasonal ingredients unique to Awaji Island with a 'Japanese' sensibility. The sweets lineup includes six varieties that combine Japanese ingredients with summer vegetables and fresh fruits. You can enjoy items that vividly bring out the charm of the ingredients, such as 'Three-Color Mizu-Yokan' with azuki beans, matcha, and the acidity of tomatoes, as well as Awaji Island loquat compote, watermelon smoothie, and a pudding condensed with the sweetness of corn.

For the meal, we have prepared menu items that evoke the arrival of summer, such as 'Awaji Conger Eel Yakichiri Nigiri Sushi,' where seasonal conger eel is lightly seared to a fluffy finish, and a refreshing dish combining local specialty 'Kaede Somen' noodles, made with traditional hand-stretching methods, with conger eel kuzu-tataki. Furthermore, we have condensed the bounty of the island, known as a treasure trove of ingredients, into every dish, including fresh spring rolls with savory Awaji beef and seasonal vegetables, and Awaji Island boiled whitebait.

Enjoy a special moment dining while gazing at the Seto Inland Sea spreading out beyond the spacious windows. Please enjoy to your heart's content the various cool flavors suitable for a summer vacation away from the daily grind.
