Ajisai Chinese Afternoon Tea
Inspired by Hydrangeas, with the Aroma of Kamakura Craft Gin “Tsuyu”
Our popular Chinese Afternoon Tea returns, inspired by the soft hues of hydrangeas and the dewdrops shimmering in early summer light.
The savoury selection features dishes such as escabeche infused with the botanicals of Kamakura craft gin “Tsuyu,” and playful creations like milk tempura with a hint of melon—
light and refreshing for the season.Sweets include a coconut tart reminiscent of hydrangeas, blueberry almond jelly with “Tsuyu” gin jelly, and China Shadow’s signature ai-yu jelly, blending Chinese techniques with refined flavours.
The delicate balance of seasonal ingredients and the crisp notes of “Tsuyu” create a refreshing early summer experience.
To conclude, enjoy an optional half-portion of mala tang or ankake fried rice. The experience begins with a welcome tea, “Long Feng Eight Treasure Tea,” thoughtfully curated by our chef for a gentle, seasonal touch.
Unwind and savour a moment of calm, accompanied by elegant aromas.
