Limited-Time "Rose and Afternoon Tea Lunch" at THE RAY, Rihga Royal Hotel Osaka

THE RAY, the restaurant on the 7th floor of the Annex at Rihga Royal Hotel Osaka (Vignette Collection), is serving a "Rose and Afternoon Tea Lunch" from May 7 (Thursday) to June 29 (Monday), 2026. Available by online reservation only and limited to 20 servings per day, the course combines French cuisine with a full array of rose-themed sweets.

A French Course Plus Sweets, Served One Dish at a Time

The afternoon tea lunch is structured as a proper course: it begins with the restaurant's signature soup served in a Kiyomizu-yaki tenmoku bowl, followed by an appetizer, bread, and a main dish, each brought to the table in sequence. The menu is the work of Chef Kurakazu, who trained at three-starred restaurants in France, offering a relaxed pace that lets diners enjoy both the French food and the sweets lineup at their leisure.

During the same season, Nakanoshima Park—just a short walk from the hotel—sees approximately 3,700 rose plants across around 310 varieties reach full bloom, making the surrounding area ideal for a stroll before or after the meal.

Seven Rose-Paired Sweets and a Wide Tea Selection

Seven sweets appear on the afternoon tea stand, each built around the fragrance of roses combined with a different ingredient: strawberry, lychee, ruby chocolate, raspberry, peach, white chocolate, and mixed berries. A standout is the "Rose and Mixed Berry Mini Parfait"—layers of sweet-tart berries topped with rose fragrance, presented like a bouquet in a glass.

Drinks include a seasonal rose-flavored tea as well as options such as "Pear and Osmanthus," "Pistachio Hojicha," English Breakfast, Organic Earl Grey, Orange & Spice Tea, Honeybush, and Apple & Green Rooibos, among others. Tea leaves can be changed when ordering a second cup.
