TOKYO STATION CAFE -THE NORTH DOME- Launches Weekday-Only "Premium Afternoon Tea" for Autumn on September 14

Inside Tokyo Station's Marunouchi North Dome, TOKYO STATION CAFE -THE NORTH DOME- is welcoming autumn with a weekday-only "Premium Afternoon Tea," starting September 14, 2026.

The cafe occupies the space that once served as the waiting room by the ticket gate exit when Tokyo Station was completed in 1914 — a place where travelers waited for someone's arrival and lingered in the afterglow of a journey. Carrying that history forward as "a space to savor time and enjoy culture," the cafe sits within walls of structural brick more than a century old, designated an Important Cultural Property, offering a fall tea time surrounded by that history.

Afternoon Tea Menu Details

The signature cake also takes on an autumn look.

"Original Dome Zuccotto with Shine Muscat"

Original Dome Zuccotto with Shine Muscat

The cafe's signature cake represents the crowds gathered beneath the dome of the Tokyo Station Marunouchi building with an abundance of fruit, and the dome ceiling itself with a rich custard, generously packed with the finest seasonal ingredients of the moment. The rich, elegant fragrance of Shine Muscat fills the mouth for a special flavor only available now.

The cake is paired with the cafe's original blended tea, scented with muscat and peach.
