Hyatt Centric Kanazawa (General Manager: Kazuhiro Matsumoto, Location: Kanazawa City, Ishikawa Prefecture), a hotel where Kanazawa's tradition and art intertwine, will present the "Blissful Melon-Scented Afternoon Tea" at its all-day dining "FIVE – Grill & Lounge" from Monday, May 18 to Tuesday, June 30, 2026. This afternoon tea luxuriously uses seasonal melons, offering a diverse approach to enjoy them from sweets to savories. Experience a blissful bowl where fresh and rich half-sized fruits serve as the vessel, adorned with various hotel-made melon sweets in a three-dimensional arrangement, delighting sight, taste, and texture. In addition to items expressing the unique character of melon in various styles, such as light-melting shortcake and delicate mille-feuille with layered textures, there are also dishes that further enhance the sweetness of the fruit, such as Kahokugata milk blancmange, tonka bean-scented vanilla ice cream, mascarpone chiboust, and jasmine cheesecake. Coconut guimauve, macarons, champagne jelly, and scooped-out melon pulp are also added, offering the joy of tasting several desserts like a parfait, allowing you to fully enjoy half a melon lightly until the last bite. For savories, the lineup includes classic prosciutto & melon, refreshing red melon ceviche, and a burger with spicy chicken sandwiched in a special melon bread from Kanazawa's Notohibakara Bakery. Pay attention not only to the taste of the melon itself but also to the unique combinations. Why not savor this early summer harmony, where the fresh fruit's flavor and lingering taste, diverse ingredients, and playful cooking and presentation resonate? ## FIVE – Grill & Lounge | Blissful Melon-Scented Afternoon Tea **Menu Contents:** **** (center in photo) *The left side of the photo shows various sweets in the melon bowl* **Melon Mille-feuille** Crispy baked puff pastry layered with smooth custard cream and fresh melon.
