Springtime is picnic time. In Japan, that means finding a relaxing spot to view the sakura cherry blossoms — and this spring, The Peninsula Tokyo has prepared a variety of sakura-themed amenities to help its guests get a true taste of the flowery season.
Through April 13, 24th-floor restaurant Peter is offering sakura-themed takeout lunchboxes paired with a glass of sparkling rose Champagne. Priced at ¥5,500, the lunches include crab cakes, potato salad sandwiches on rye and a few other tasty selections perfect for a picnic at Kokyo Gaien National Garden.
The Peninsula Boutique & Cafe on the first-floor basement is also offering sakura-viewing picnic sets through April 14. The sets for two provide appetizers, sandwiches and dessert, as well as a half bottle of The Peninsula Champagne (for a total of ¥9,500) or sparkling rose Champagne (¥7,000).
