This afternoon tea is a sublime work of art that brings together the abundant bounty of Shinshu’s fertile land and fresh seasonal ingredients through the sensibility and craftsmanship of Atsushi Kawaguchi, former Dessert Director at a three-Michelin-starred restaurant. Surrounded by the deep summer greenery and tranquility beyond the windows, guests can immerse themselves in a retreat experience defined by “the luxury of time.”
Inspired by the pale, beautiful hues that seem to blend into Mount Kurohime, enveloped in vivid, crystal-clear summer green, this afternoon tea features apricots and white peaches at the height of their season. The apricots come from Chikuma in Nagano Prefecture, Japan’s leading apricot-producing region. Paired with them are sweet, meltingly tender white peaches, whose flavor complements the apricots’ acidity. The savory selections also make generous use of ingredients from Shinshu.
Please enjoy the first afternoon tea presented by star chef Kawaguchi at “Pâtisserie Lomä.”
