Sapporo Prince Hotel: "The Scent of Kyoto, Blossoming in the North's Tea Lounge" Japanese Tea-Themed Afternoon Tea Reservations Now Open

Sapporo Prince Hotel (Location: Minami 2-jo Nishi 11-chome, Chuo-ku, Sapporo, Hokkaido; General Manager: Seiji Izumi) will be offering the "Sky Afternoon Tea," a collaboration with Kyoto's long-established tea house "Fukujuen," at the "Sky Lounge Top of Prince" on the top floor from Friday, May 15, 2026, to Tuesday, June 30, 2026.

The "Sky Afternoon Tea" series, which was renewed and expanded in November 2025, this time features a new tea time experience born from the encounter of Japanese tea, traveling over 1,000km from Kyoto to Sapporo, and Hokkaido's rich ingredients. By using high-quality tea leaves from Fukujuen, a tea house with over 230 years of tradition, combined with dairy products and azuki beans nurtured by Sapporo's clear water and vast land, the tea set expresses the charm of both Japanese and Western styles, as well as each region. The sweets menu includes items using Fukujuen's Japanese teas such as matcha, hojicha, and Japanese black tea, offering flavors that blend Japanese ingredients with Western techniques, such as "Matcha Molleux Chocolat," "Sencha Jelly and Grapefruit," and "Japanese Black Tea and Matcha Hokkaido Milk Pudding."

Additionally, the savories are enhanced with Japanese-style sweets using Uji matcha and genmaicha, and a cheese avocado burger with matcha miso. Furthermore, a separate mini parfait, "Parfait with New Tea-Scented Meringue, Uji Matcha Rusk, and Hokkaido Milk Ice Cream," will be offered, delivering the refreshing aroma unique to the new tea season. Drinks include a free-flow selection of various Japanese teas, such as cold-brew sencha and Japanese black tea, in addition to black tea and herbal teas. Guests can enjoy a tea time that "travels the senses," feeling the atmosphere of Kyoto while in Sapporo, in an open space overlooking the sprawling cityscape.
