To commemorate this milestone, we will offer the "Elegance in New York Mode" afternoon tea, which embodies the social culture of Manhattan, New York, for a limited time starting Monday, April 6. Since its founding in 1893, the Waldorf Astoria New York has colored the eras as the center of global socializing and gastronomy. Inheriting that spirit, this project returns to the origin of the brand. "Peacock Alley" was once a space at the Waldorf Astoria in New York where people who symbolized the era gathered to express their attire and confidence. We will modernize the spirit of this place, which has captivated people worldwide as a social stage, here in Osaka. We deliver a special afternoon moment where the sophisticated mode of New York resonates with the timeless elegance that Waldorf Astoria has preserved.
A "World of Gastronomy" Woven with Carefully Selected Ingredients and Precise Techniques
The savories reconstruct classics loved in New York, the brand's origin, with a modern sensibility. The "Lobster Sandwich," an homage to the shrimp cocktail, features bright red cocktail sauce and rich guacamole cream for a glamorous accent. The signature of Peacock Alley, the "Caviar Financier," appears in a jet-black style using bamboo charcoal, and the sparkle of WA original caviar draws a fashionable contrast. Items like the "Grilled Cheese Sandwich" fragrant with aged cheddar cheese, and the "Shiitake and Foie Gras Gateau," which condenses the umami of several types of mushrooms into a foie gras mousse, are composed to harmonize as a whole while making each individuality stand out. The layers of heat and aroma that utilize the outlines of the ingredients bring a sophisticated impression and lingering finish with every bite.
The scones are lightly reinterpreted with a modern sensibility based on respect for tradition. The "Walnut and Raisin Scone" incorporates the essence of the Waldorf Salad, layering apple mousse, the acidity of pickles, and the refreshing sensation of mini celery onto a walnut dough. The "Amazon Cacao Flavored Scone" combines aromatic cacao with praline buttercream and the slight bitterness of espresso coulis, creating a taste with a calm depth. You can enjoy a sophisticated moment along with the aroma of freshly baked goods.
