[Hotel Nikko Huis Ten Bosch] Launching 'Afternoon Tea - Sugar Road' on June 1st, Celebrating Nagasaki's Sugar Culture

Hotel Nikko Huis Ten Bosch (Location: Huis Ten Bosch-machi, Sasebo, Nagasaki; General Manager: Kenji Kameyama) will host 'Afternoon Tea - Sugar Road' at its Japanese restaurant 'Ajisai' from June 1 (Mon) to November 30 (Mon), 2026. The theme celebrates the 'Sugar Road,' the Nagasaki Kaido route where sugar culture flourished during the Edo period. A lodging plan including this afternoon tea and a breakfast buffet will also be available during the same period.

The Nagasaki Kaido, connecting Nagasaki and Kokura, is known as the 'Sugar Road' because it served as the primary route for spreading sugar and Western-style confectionery culture from Nagasaki to other regions during the Edo period. This afternoon tea features a three-tiered box filled with traditional Japanese sweets, inspired desserts, and savory items using local Nagasaki specialties. Guests can enjoy these in a setting that showcases the beauty of Mikawachi ware, accompanied by drinks such as Sonogi tea. We invite you to fully enjoy the food culture nurtured by Nagasaki.

The sweets selection includes traditional items like 'Okoshi' and 'Yokan,' as well as Western-style desserts using local ingredients such as 'Sonogi Matcha Gateau Chocolat' and 'Loquat' macarons. The three-tiered box is themed around the evolution of sugar culture, traditional confectionery, and the influence of Namban culture. A total of 11 types of sweets are included.

The savory menu features a 'Turkish Rice Burger,' a handheld arrangement of Nagasaki's local specialty, along with dishes using 'Sonogin Salmon' and 'Shimabara Miso.'
