Reservation-required popular buffet
Since 2015, dessert fairs with unique themes, such as "An Invitation from Alice", "The Marriage of Marie-Antoinette", "Strawberry Psychedelic 60s" and others have been held in the Marble Lounge. Images of the world via these themes created with desserts and decorations have spread on social media. In 2017, they had 95,000 people visit their fair.
Fromage Fondant, the ultimate matcha, can be enjoyed at the buffet
Serving an authentic dessert with the most superb timing.
During the planning, Mr. Harita was insistent on providing the authentic matcha flavor, with a rich palate and distinct aftertaste. A dessert that can fully let customers enjoy matcha and one which is suitable for the theme of Japanism. After many trials, Ogurayama was selected. It is an Uji matcha that is widely used at tea ceremonies in the world of tea. This confectionary with Ogurayama has become one of the main sales points of the buffet, because leaves that were just harvested in May right before the fair started were used for the blending, gently ground with a stone mill, to be finally turned into matcha, and sent to Hilton Tokyo from our company every day. Please feel free to contact our sales department if you are considering matcha confectionary menus for hotels, cafes, restaurants, or drinks and matcha fairs.
