The afternoon tea is themed around the popular sweet "Piyorin." In the hotel lounge, decorated with Piyorin plush toys, guests can enjoy a special Halloween afternoon tea joined by the Toyohashi-exclusive "Black Thunder Piyorin."

Black Thunder Piyorin Collab: A Special Halloween Afternoon Tea
In Halloween colors, the lineup features seasonal sweets such as a "Maple and Pumpkin Mousse" made with autumn flavors. During the two days of the Piyorin Station Fes, a black cat sweet transforms into a black Piyorin — the "Black Thunder Piyorin." Full of Halloween atmosphere and fun to look at, this is an afternoon tea that Piyorin fans won't want to miss.
