Last year's popular "Rouge et Rouge" returns as the grand finale of the hotel's 30th anniversary afternoon tea series, offering a world of crimson elegance. Building on the original concept, this year's edition introduces new elements including a wagon service for savories and a warm dessert finale. From savories to sweets, every dish showcases the full appeal of strawberries. This afternoon tea is Hotel Granvia Okayama's gift of gratitude for 30 years of support, inviting guests to escape the daily rush and enjoy a fulfilling moment.
Five Highlights of "Rouge et Rouge"
1. Tableside Savory Service and Warming Hot Savories
Upon arrival, a vibrant strawberry welcome drink sets an elegant tone for the afternoon tea. Next, four cold savory dishes presented in a beautiful wooden box are carefully served tableside from a wagon. Sweet-tart strawberries pair with foie gras, smoked trout salmon, and cream cheese, revealing new flavor dimensions. Warm savories featuring pork and duck with strawberry accents add depth and complexity to the experience.
2. A Treasure Box of 13 Strawberry Desserts
The three-tier afternoon tea stand showcases an array of strawberry desserts like a miniature treasure box. Highlights include a classic strawberry shortcake with fluffy sponge and smooth cream, along with tarts, chocolate truffles, rare cheesecake, and mousse—13 petite masterpieces that maximize the charm of strawberries, each adorably presented.
3. A "Warm and Cool" Surprise
The finale features Applause's heartwarming signature dessert, "Chaud-Froid." Named after the French words for "hot" and "cold," this dessert harmonizes warm donut pops, cold vanilla ice cream, and sweet-tart Okayama strawberries in a delightful symphony. Served fresh at the guest's preferred timing.
4. Afternoon Beverages
All beverages are available as free-flow. Choose from nine Mighty Leaf flavored teas, beloved worldwide, featuring diverse aromas of fruit, herbs, and spices to match any mood. Coffee, café latte, cocoa, and various juices are also available for unlimited enjoyment.
5. A Thoughtful Souvenir: "Hareta" Keychain
Guests who book 20 days or more in advance will receive an exclusive early-bird gift: one Hotel Granvia Okayama original mascot "Hareta" keychain per group. Hareta will quietly accompany your wonderful memories.
