The "Hydrangea Mont Blanc" on the first tier of the afternoon tea stand features a purple sweet potato Mont Blanc adorned with hydrangea-like cream, topped with a small white chocolate snail motif. This playful touch evokes the rainy season scenery, creating a dish that delights both sight and taste, accompanied by a jelly that feels like early summer with ripples of raindrops.

The second tier presents dishes reminiscent of a blooming hydrangea landscape, such as "Hydrangea Chocolate Muffins" expressing hydrangeas wet with raindrops using silver sugar, and "Blueberry Tarts" with a refreshing blueberry tartness.

The third tier of savories includes an open sandwich with cream cheese arranged like a flower garden, and a soup expressing red hydrangeas by scattering smoked salmon crisps over vichyssoise, offering menus that add accents to the flavor.

Spend a relaxing afternoon surrounded by the sound of rain, enjoying the Hydrangea Afternoon Tea that reflects the colors of the rainy season, with hydrangeas visible from the window.
