Smith Teamaker Tasting Room (Shibuya and Yokohama locations) will offer two new seasonal food items, a brunch plate and a dessert, for a limited time starting Tuesday, April 14th, 2026.

Designed with the same philosophy as their teas, these new offerings aim to express the seasonal experience from spring to early summer through a harmonious blend of aromas and ingredients. The promotion period is scheduled from Tuesday, April 14th, 2026, to Monday, August 3rd, 2026.


SEASONAL BRUNCH PLATE

Salmon & Cream Cheese Toast

[Available from Tuesday, April 14th, Limited Time Offer]

A dish where subtle exotic notes blend in the gentle, warm sunlight. The delicate umami of salmon and the richness of cream cheese are complemented by the refreshing finish of capers and dill. Enjoy this with your tea during a leisurely morning.

➤ Recommended Tea Pairing

We recommend pairing this plate with "No.18 British Brunch." Its deep flavor profile complements the meal, cutting through the richness of the salmon and cream cheese.

[Product Highlights]

The base is the mellow cream cheese layered on sourdough toast, with salmon tartare creating a juicy, flavorful layer. The subtle acidity of capers and the aroma of dill add depth to the taste. The brunch plate is served with mashed potatoes finished with olive oil, marinated carrots, and a green leaf salad, creating a gentle flow to the dish. As the morning transitions to noon, savoring each bite with tea allows the ingredients to harmonize quietly. This dish evokes a sense of Nordic air, gently unfolding under the Japanese spring sunlight.

Product Name: Salmon & Cream Cheese Toast
Price: BRUNCH PLATE 1,860 yen (tax included)
FULL 1,650 yen (tax included)
HALF 850 yen (tax included)


SEASONAL DESSERT

Orange & Chai Vanilla Sundae

[Available from Tuesday, April 14th, Limited Time Offer]

Layers of spring and early summer colors unfold within the sundae glass. The juicy, gentle acidity of seasonal oranges, the calming aroma of rich spices, and the smoothness of vanilla ice cream melt together, spreading gently through the mind and body.

➤ Recommended Tea Pairing

We recommend pairing this sundae with "No.33 Masala Chai." This chai-on-chai combination enhances the depth of flavor as the spice aromas intertwine with the sundae.

[Product Highlights]
The vanilla ice cream is a rich and smooth vanilla from "Harlow ICE CREAM," a craft ice cream specialty store based in Kobe.

The layers, from the orange at the bottom of the glass, to the spice-infused crumble, the granola coated with the aromas of No.1851 Portland Breakfast and cocoa, and finally the vanilla ice cream, combine with the rich chai syrup of No.33 Masala Chai, offering a different experience with each spoonful. The orange marmalade on top adds a bright, juicy acidity, lightly accentuating the whole. This sundae embodies the gentle transition from spring to early summer.

Product Name: Orange & Chai Vanilla Sundae
Price: 1,210 yen (tax included)


Regarding "Seasonal Food" from the Brand Manager

"Our concept for Smith Teamaker's seasonal food is to use tea not as the main flavor, but as an accent. The chai spices highlight the contours of orange and vanilla ice cream, while herbs and lemon add depth to the umami of salmon. By having the tea elements enhance the other ingredients, we aim to create a multi-dimensional flavor experience within a single dish. We believe tea is, before being a beverage, a language of flavor. This season's first food menu is an attempt to express that philosophy on the table. We hope that your time spent at our tasting rooms becomes richer through tea and food."

― Shota Kondo, Brand Manager, Smith Teamaker Japan
