The Conrad Tokyo's bar and lounge TwentyEight will offer the Strawberry Royal Wedding Afternoon Tea in collaboration with Dutch jewelry company Royal Asscher between May 1 and June 30.
Royal Asscher, which has a history of more than 160 years, is the only diamond jeweler in the world that has received the "royal" honorific title. In celebration of the royal wedding, which will take place in the U.K. in May, pastry chef Masaki Okazaki will create jewelry-themed desserts using the last of the fresh and ripe strawberries of the season, as well as elegantly arranged savory dishes.
Both standard and deluxe sets include five kinds of desserts, three kinds of savory dishes and scones. The royal milk tea panna cotta (a gelatin and cream dessert) is topped with strawberry and rose jelly. Additionally, skewered scallops and strawberries are served with avocado mousse. The ¥4,900 standard set is served on glass plates and comes with free-flowing drinks from a selection of 20 kinds of beverages on weekdays. The deluxe set at ¥6,850 is served on a tiered stand, complete with free-flowing drinks from a choice of 30, including Champagne. The first 200 guests will receive original mugs designed by Royal Asscher. Afternoon tea is available from 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. on weekdays, and from 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., as well as in the evenings on weekends and holidays.
