Kick off the eerie festivities with the Bloody-Coco, a striking welcome drink that combines coconut and cherry flavors. The vibrant red beverage sparkles in the autumn sunlight that pours through the bistro’s large windows, offering views of the Marunouchi skyline and the passing Shinkansen trains.
The Halloween Afternoon Tea 〜Monster Night〜 is a feast for the eyes and the palate, featuring vibrant autumn colors and the finest seasonal ingredients. Inspired by Halloween lore, Chef Patrick’s creations are perfect for Instagram and even better for tasting.
The highlight is the Vampire, a deliciously ironic treat crafted from caramel mousse, pear jelly, and almond biscuit, allowing guests to “bite” into Count Dracula himself. The Skeleton, served in a sesame sablé basket, features sweet potato curd and honey-flavored mousse, reminiscent of Daigaku Imo, a traditional Japanese sweet potato dish.
Other delightful treats include the Pumpkin, a crispy choux filled with Hokkaido pumpkin cream and apricot jam, and the Mummy, which combines chestnut and Fuji apple flavors. The wide-eyed black Cat is an Earl Grey financier with fig and raspberry jelly, offering a delightful blend of tastes and textures.
Of course, no afternoon tea would be complete without scones. This Halloween selection includes both original and matcha-flavored scones, ensuring a light and fluffy teatime treat.
Balancing out the sweets is a savory selection curated by Chef Daniel Calvert, whose culinary mastery at SÉZANNE has earned two Michelin stars. His creations bring a touch of classic French bistro flair to the Halloween celebration, offering light and elegant bites that complement the desserts perfectly.
