A Christmas afternoon tea themed around a "snowy Christmas forest" is coming to Pullman Tokyo Tamachi (3-1-21 Shibaura, Minato-ku, Tokyo), a premium lifestyle hotel of the French group Accor. It is available for a limited time from November 1 (Sunday) to December 25 (Friday), 2026.
Seven sweets express motifs that live in a winter forest, such as Christmas trees and reindeer. The plate is covered with cocoa meringue like the forest floor, creating a winter scene where snow seems to have drifted down. A strawberry millefeuille stands in for the tree, and a rich chocolate mousse becomes a red-nosed reindeer, so each sweet opens up a small Christmas story.
As a festive-season-only extra, each guest receives one box of a petite Christmas gift: an assortment of five popular Ronnefeldt teas. Each guest is also served one glass of the limited cocktail "Blushing Noel," inspired by Christmas candy.
Petite Christmas gift
Limited cocktail "Blushing Noel"
In the lobby lounge, a 3-meter-tall Christmas tree with ornaments renewed in crystal glass will be on display. The snowy forest drawn in sweets and the tree full of light together make a festive tea time that is available only in this season.
Seven Sweets That Depict a Snowy Christmas Forest
The seven sweets take their motifs from Christmas. Preparation methods were chosen to bring out the flavor and aroma of each ingredient, such as stollen kneaded with almond milk and the reindeer mousse made with bananas baked in their skins. On the plate, cocoa meringue is laid out like the forest floor to show a Christmas forest covered in snow. Each sweet adds a playful touch suited to Christmas, with the quality of flavor expected of a hotel.
Strawberry Millefeuille
Crisp baked puff pastry is layered with diplomat cream and strawberry compote. The top is finished with mascarpone cream shaped like a Christmas tree. The crisp texture of the pastry and the sweet-tart strawberries come together in a colorful sweet.
Banana and Chocolate Reindeer Mousse
A mousse of almond milk and organic chocolate is paired with banana that has been roasted in its skin to lock in moisture and aroma. It is shaped as a reindeer, with a groseille berry as the red nose. Chocolate feuilletine tucked under the mousse adds a crunchy accent. The richness of the chocolate is joined by the aroma and sweetness of the banana for a taste that is rich yet gentle.
Mango and Annin Kugel
Mango jelly and a mousse of annin and mascarpone are wrapped in white chocolate and made into a kugel whose form recalls a Christmas ornament. The deep sweetness of the mango, the gentle milky flavor of the annin, and the richness of the mascarpone combine for a smooth mouthfeel.
Gingerbread Sandwich
Dough shaped like a gingerbread man, a Christmas favorite that symbolizes wishes for a family's happiness, is sandwiched with orange-scented butter ganache. The gentle sweetness of beet sugar and five kinds of spices create a rich flavor, with the fresh scent of orange layered on top, making it a fit for the Christmas season.
Raspberry Savarin
A savarin soaked in syrup made with raspberry liqueur is combined with whipped cream and raspberry jelly. A leaf-shaped candy garnish depicts a scene of a snow-dusted forest. The festive aroma and moderate acidity of raspberry spread through a grown-up flavor.
Stollen
Dough kneaded with five kinds of spices and almond milk is generously mixed with green raisins soaked in liquor, orange peel and grapefruit peel. The rich aroma of spices and the fresh taste of dried fruit spread through its mellow richness.
Butterscotch Macaron
A macaron inspired by butterscotch pudding, a Christmas favorite. A light-textured macaron is sandwiched with caramel buttercream, and the toasty caramel and buttery richness make a rich taste that suits winter. Chocolate bearing the emblem of the restaurant KASA and gold dust add a festive touch.
Daily Savories, Scones and Free-Flow Drinks
Another highlight of the afternoon tea is the daily savories enjoyed between the sweets, along with freshly baked scones. The chef selects three items to suit the day from a menu that uses seasonal ingredients, such as the "Broccoli and Egg Sandwich," "White Maitake and Feta Cheese Rice Crackers" and "Cauliflower Potage." The scones are baked to match the reservation time and served with strawberry jam and clotted cream. The tea time can be enjoyed at a relaxed pace, like a course meal, and with a sense of satisfaction.
Besides coffee such as espresso and café latte, 14 kinds of tea from Ronnefeldt, a long-established German tea maker, are available as free-flow drinks. This winter's recommendations are "Apple Crumble" and "Masala Chai." Apple Crumble is a flavored tea with apple, toffee and cinnamon, and its appeal lies in a taste like sweet whipped cream and apple crumble. Masala Chai is a tea full of spices such as cinnamon, ginger and black pepper, offering an authentic chai. Warm tea adds a refined moment to winter tea time.
One box of Ronnefeldt tea Teavelopes per person
In addition, guests who make a reservation during the period receive a Christmas-limited petite gift of one box of Ronnefeldt tea Teavelopes per person, so the relaxed tea time can be enjoyed at home too.
Limited Cocktail "Blushing Noel," Inspired by Christmas Candy
"Blushing Noel" is a festive-season-only cocktail inspired by Christmas candy. Passion fruit liqueur is mixed with sparkling wine for a sweet-tart taste, and rosemary is added for a fresh aromatic accent. The rim of the glass is decorated with candy, sugar and raspberry powder. From its look to its taste, it expresses Christmas candy in a festive glass.
A non-alcoholic mocktail is also available, made with almond syrup, grapefruit tea and soda. It offers a refreshing taste along with a Christmas mood. During the period it can be enjoyed with the Christmas afternoon tea, and it is also served as a single item at JUNCTION.
Period: November 1 (Sunday) to December 25 (Friday), 2026
Time: 11:30 AM to 11:00 PM (drinks L.O. 30 minutes before closing)

A Hotel Christmas Tree Sparkling With Glass
For the Christmas season only, a Christmas tree decorated with crystal glass ornaments will be on display in the hotel lobby from November 2 (Monday). Present boxes packed with happiness and transparent crystal glass modeled on icicles sparkle in warm light. While looking at the renewed tree, guests can enjoy a special holiday-season moment together with the afternoon tea that expresses a "snowy Christmas forest."
