Sweets and Savories Inspired by a City Awaiting Christmas
At Kawagoe Prince Hotel (located at 1-22 Shintomi-cho, Kawagoe City, Saitama Prefecture; General Manager: Manabu Takeiri), the Lobby Lounge (1F) is offering the "Festive Afternoon Tea Set" from November 1 (Sun) to 30 (Mon), 2026, and again from December 26 (Sat), 2026 to January 8 (Fri), 2027. Set in white tones, the collection captures the sparkle of a snow-white world and the excited anticipation of the approaching Christmas season.
Beyond Christmas Day itself, the hotel wanted guests to cherish even the anticipation leading up to it as a special memory, so this afternoon tea set captures the season as the city gradually becomes wrapped in festive sparkle.
The lineup includes the "Snowberry Parfait," inspired by candlelight; the "Rare Cheese Mont Blanc," styled after a white Christmas tree with a raspberry center and lemon cream filling; and the "Snowman Mousse," shaped like an adorable snowman.
Additional sweets bring a festive look, including the "White Chocolate-Coated Strawberry," dusted like fresh snow, and the "Noël Rouge," a griotte cherry mousse with a striking deep-red hue.
The savory selection features the "Salmon Tree Tart," designed to resemble a Christmas tree, along with the "Creamed Chicken Thigh," a warming dish suited to the deepening cold. Alongside the sparkle of the sweets, the food menu is filled with the color and flavor of the festive season.
Through the "Festive Afternoon Tea Set," Kawagoe Prince Hotel captures the heart-fluttering excitement of the season leading up to Christmas and the sparkle that colors the city, offering guests an early taste of the holiday season.
Highlights of the "Festive Afternoon Tea Set"

● Savory Options Included
The set also includes savory options such as the "Black Pepper & Cheese Scone," served with a basil sauce, and "Pâté en Croûte," a pastry-wrapped dish only a hotel kitchen can deliver, keeping the flavors varied through to the last bite.
