TAVERN by the green "Precious Summer Peach & Shine Muscat Afternoon Tea"

At TAVERN by the green, where New York-inspired sophistication meets seasonal charm, guests can enjoy a refreshing afternoon tea highlighting the finest summer peaches and juicy Shine Muscat grapes, set against the vibrant greenery of Omotesando's iconic tree-lined boulevard.

Four exquisite sweets starring seasonal peaches

The centerpiece of the afternoon tea stand features four luxurious desserts showcasing rich, juicy peaches—enjoyable throughout both the first and second servings. Highlights include a layered glass dessert with light panna cotta, sweet peach jelly, creamy mousse, and tender peach compote; a smooth, pink-hued peach mousse that delights the eye; an elegant peach cake with whipped peach cream and fresh fruit; and house-made scones delicately infused with peach aroma.

Second installment: Peach × Shine Muscat

Starting Wednesday, August 19, the second edition adds the noble sparkle of fresh Shine Muscat grapes to the peach desserts. Guests will enjoy a tart and shortcake highlighting the grape's refreshing flavor and juicy texture, along with a vibrant macaron filled with two whole Shine Muscat grapes. The striking contrast of vivid emerald green and soft pink elegantly captures the essence of summer's final days.

Three seasonal savory dishes, plus salad and soup—a satisfying, well-rounded meal

The savory selection includes three creative dishes: a smooth corn mousse rice croquette accented with spicy salsa; a crispy croissant sandwich layered with cured ham and Bocconcini cheese with green olive and balsamic cream; and other thoughtfully crafted bites. Guests also enjoy a cocktail salad blending fruit and ceviche, and a visually stunning beet vichyssoise. On weekdays, the salad is specially presented with crystalized tomato jelly for an elegant twist—ensuring a fulfilling and luxurious summer dining experience.

Premium summer-themed optional menu items

· Special dessert: "Eton Mess"

For the second installment, this summer-exclusive dessert features Shine Muscat as the star, layered with crisp meringue, rich custard cream, and a refreshing whipped fromage. Topped with a crunchy crumble adding a delightful textural contrast, this multi-sensory dessert is a feast for the senses.

Two exclusive beverages enhance the refined summer experience. An original champagne cocktail reimagines the classic Mimosa with rich peach flavor and aromatic muscat notes. Also available is the "Peach & Muscat Fruit Iced Tea," blending the deep sweetness of peach with the crisp fragrance of muscat grapes. Sip these sparkling drinks and savor a truly special summer afternoon.
