[Hilton Tokyo] Chinese Afternoon Tea "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"

[April 3, 2026] Hilton Tokyo (Shinjuku, Tokyo; General Manager: Felix Busch), at its 2nd-floor Chinese restaurant "Dynasty," will host a Chinese Afternoon Tea themed around the enduringly popular "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" starting April 28th (Tuesday). In addition to all-you-can-eat dim sum, the offering includes 9 "Dynasty" Chef's Specials served on a classical afternoon tea stand, along with 4 types of sweets and a glass of lychee, priced at ¥7,480 per person (¥7,980 on Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays). Enjoy the world of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in an elegant afternoon tea style, accompanied by dishes from Chef Masaki Yanagiya of the Chinese restaurant "Dynasty," who has expressed the heroes, beauties, famous battles, and strategies of the turbulent Three Kingdoms era in each dish.

Classical Afternoon Tea Stand offers appetizers such as abalone, pork belly, and sweet shrimp, presented with the story of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Jellyfish and Smoked Duck Cold Dish "Diao Chan's Allure" is a dish inspired by Diao Chan, said to have shaken the course of battles with her beauty during the Three Kingdoms period. It features jellyfish and finely shredded smoked duck on edamame, served with a rose-scented sweet and sour pomegranate sauce.
Steamed Chicken Salad with Three Sauces "Oath of the Peach Garden" is inspired by the iconic scene symbolizing the beginning of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Tender steamed chicken is paired with three sauces: chili, ginger, and Chinese soy sauce, allowing you to enjoy different flavors in one dish.
Abalone, tenderly simmered in oyster sauce and soy sauce, is presented like a boat, scattered with yellow leeks and bean sprouts. This dish "Borrowing Arrows with Straw Boats" is inspired by Zhuge Liang's clever strategy of 'borrowing' 100,000 arrows from the enemy camp.

Other dishes include "Cao Cao's Scheme," sweet shrimp marinated in salt infused with scallion aroma, with a stimulating Sichuan peppercorn flavor, and "Lu Bu's Strike," where tender pork belly is encased in a lightly fried spherical dough shell and served with a black vinegar and honey sauce, served in Pani Puri style. The enjoyment is doubled by imagining the stories behind each dish.

The soup is "The Grand Strategy of Division of the Realm," a clear broth with shrimp, crab meat, squid, and seasonal vegetables, thickened lightly with egg white.
The main dish is "Battle of Red Cliffs," a spicy stir-fry of low-temperature cooked Japanese Black Wagyu beef with Sichuan chaotian chili, chili peppers, and sansho pepper. Befitting the grand climax of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the aroma and stimulation spread rapidly, reminiscent of the moment when flames rose on the water and turned the tide of battle. This is a masterpiece by the chef.

Dim sum is delivered to your table piping hot, allowing you to enjoy your favorites as much as you like. You can savor premium dim sum to your heart's content, including steamed dim sum such as "Jade Matcha Shrimp Dumplings" with matcha kneaded into the skin, "Lavender Pork and Vegetable Dumplings," and "Shrimp Pork Shumai with Truffle Garnish," as well as fried dim sum like "Seafood Rice Paper Spring Rolls" and "Shishito Pepper Pork Spring Rolls."

To conclude your meal, enjoy 4 types of desserts and a glass of lychee. "Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao's Almond Tofu" represents the beautiful sisterhood from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, with smooth almond tofu harmoniously blending the gentle sweetness of white peach and the refreshing tartness of plum. Other desserts include "Sun Shangxiang's Dumplings," which pair red bean sesame balls with a slightly bitter matcha cream, and "Tears of Destiny," crystal-style grapes with lemon scent, featuring two types of grapes encased in a transparent grape jelly, inspired by the diviner's crystal used to foretell the outcome of battles in a time of war.

We also pay special attention to the teas that enrich your afternoon tea time. After enjoying the welcome drink "Peach Garden Cold Tea," a peach oolong tea, you can choose teas inspired by the women of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms according to your preference. We offer "Special Grade White Peony," a fragrant white tea; "Rose Hongcha," a black tea layered with the exquisite aroma of roses; "Golden Osmanthus," with the elegant and soft scent of osmanthus; as well as "Dong Ding Oolong Tea" and "Oriental Beauty Tea."
