The Westin Osaka (Kita Ward, Osaka) is serving a limited-time "Grape Afternoon Tea — Tea Time in the Autumn Forest" at its Lobby Lounge from September 1 (Tuesday) to November 7 (Saturday), 2026, built around grapes at their seasonal best. From September 7 (Monday), a "Shine Muscat Moon-Viewing Parfait" that captures the mood of the season also joins the lineup for a limited time.
Step inside, and you're greeted by a calming tea time evoking a forest at the peak of a bountiful autumn. Starting with the artistic "Whole Grape Atelier Gateau," each guest receives their own individual tea stand filled with sweets and savories featuring charming autumn motifs.
A Beloved Shortcake Transformed Into the Shape of Grapes
The standout is the first tier's "Whole Grape Atelier Gateau." The shortcake, already a favorite on the afternoon tea menu, has been deliberately reshaped into the form of grapes to capture the fleeting season of "the art of autumn" in dessert form. Large, juicy grapes are paired with mousse and cream, assembled with the pastry chef's skill and sensibility into a plate that is a true piece of sweets art, straight from the atelier and available only for this season.
Sweets That Capture the Crisp Air and Flavors of the Forest
The second and third tiers bring together sweets from a forest rich with autumn's bounty. Look for a juicy, bursting Muscat Jelly, a rich, fluffy Sweet Potato Cream Puff, and a Mont Blanc that draws out the gentle sweetness of chestnut. Playful touches from the pastry chef appear in the adorable Grape Macaron and the Muscat and Tea Mushroom, where layered textures and aromas are part of the fun.
Chef-Crafted Autumn Savories
The savories that complement the sweets are just as full of autumn flavor. A colorful Pumpkin Quiche and a Smoked Duck Tart — fragrant duck and mushroom accented with grapes — bring together autumn ingredients in a single, harmonious plate.

Bartender's Original: "Magical Grape"
The hotel's bartender created this non-alcoholic drink exclusively for the afternoon tea. "Magical Grape" pairs rich grapes and berries with a hidden Japanese twist — plum jam — for a deep, layered non-alcoholic mocktail that adds a flourish to the afternoon tea's special moment.
Price (Afternoon Tea + 1 Limited Drink): Weekdays ¥8,900 / Weekends & Holidays ¥9,400
Limited to 10 Servings a Day: Shine Muscat Moon-Viewing Parfait
A full moon floating in the autumn night sky, a leaping "moon rabbit," and swaying pampas grass — the classic imagery of Tsukimi, Japan's autumn moon-viewing tradition, is expressed in a three-dimensional decoration that's beautiful from every angle. The juicy, bursting sweetness of Shine Muscat grapes plays off herb-scented gelée and cream, offering a changing expression with every bite.
