Grand Hyatt Tokyo Introduces Hotel's First 'Italian Merenda Afternoon Tea' Featuring Classic Italian Sweets like Tiramisu, Amaretti, Cannoli, and Lemon-shaped Cheese Mousse with Sicilian Lemon Aroma

Grand Hyatt Tokyo (Minato-ku, Tokyo, General Manager: Michael Golden), a dynamic luxury hotel towering amidst the urban bustle, will offer its first-ever "Italian Merenda Afternoon Tea" at its Italian Cafe "Fiorentina" starting Monday, June 1, 2026.

The "Italian Merenda Afternoon Tea" is inspired by "Merenda," the beloved Italian afternoon snack culture. "Merenda" refers to a time to relax with sweets and light meals, a rich Italian food culture that enjoys moments of relaxation. This afternoon tea incorporates the essence of "Merenda," delivering an elegant moment reminiscent of a peaceful Italian afternoon.

For sweets, classic Italian delights such as Tiramisu with a rich espresso flavor, Amaretti, an Italian baked confection with a fragrant almond liqueur aroma, and Cannoli, a Sicilian specialty with a crispy shell filled with custard cream, will be available. You can savor the charm of various Italian pastries. Until Monday, August 31, menu items perfect for the hot season will also be available, including a lemon-shaped ricotta cheese mousse with the refreshing acidity of Sicilian lemons, a smooth panna cotta combining mango and passion fruit, and lemon sorbet garnished with lemon zest.

For savories, the menu features exquisite dishes by Italian chefs, such as prosciutto tarts, Italian sandwiches combining burrata cheese with tomatoes and genovese sauce, and flavorful brioche layered with homemade smoked salmon and ricotta cheese, carefully smoked for 7-8 hours. Homemade bread from the adjacent pastry boutique will also be incorporated, delivering flavors unique to "Fiorentina."

Furthermore, this afternoon tea will offer "Pandoro," a traditional Italian bread baked to a beautiful golden color by generously mixing eggs and butter, replacing the standard scones. You can enjoy two types, tropical mango & pineapple and plain, along with mascarpone cheese and Sicilian Seville orange jam.

This is Grand Hyatt Tokyo's first Italian Afternoon Tea, featuring sophisticated Italian sweets by a pastry team led by a pastry chef with championship and award-winning experience in world confectionery competitions, and savory dishes crafted by Italian chefs. Enjoy an elegant afternoon as if you were in Italy, either on the open terrace facing "Roppongi Keyakizaka-dori" or inside the restaurant bathed in sunlight through large windows.
