I enjoyed the Santa Maria Novella Afternoon Tea. I met up with friends I hadn't seen in a while, and we had a wonderful time reminiscing at a table with a view of Mount Fuji. I later learned that the five savory items were inspired by "Giardini Medicei - The Medici Gardens -", which uses the scents of plants and fruits connected to the history of the Medici family. I wish I had known about the concept beforehand. The fragrance samples in a corner of the lounge were a nice touch, allowing us to take our time and choose our favorites. The staff were very accommodating to my food allergies, which is what I'd expect from an international hotel chain. It was a little disappointing that there wasn't a dedicated table attendant, so it was often difficult to find a staff member when we wanted to order drinks. (The service when I made the reservation was excellent, so perhaps my expectations were too high.) The yuzu and persimmon leaf tea and two of the savory items were delicious.
Used for afternoon tea. When I want to be sure, I choose either here or the Conrad Tokyo. Both have amazing views from the windows. I visited after a long time and reserved the "Yellow Summer Afternoon Tea." The savory items were so delicious that I wanted to order alcohol, and the sweets were all incredibly delicious. The scones, plain and pineapple, were so good that I wanted to buy them as souvenirs. Furthermore, in addition to the tea stand and scones, there was a service of small sweets not on the menu, which was delightful. There were two kinds of soft serve ice cream and cake salé, and the volume was quite satisfying. The drink menu has a wide selection of Japanese teas, but the café latte was also of a high level, with a strong presence of both coffee and milk. I was able to spend a very relaxing time. Thank you.

The afternoon tea with a panoramic view of Tokyo was superb! I was deeply impressed by the seasonal selection. I especially enjoyed the savory items. They were also accommodating to my allergies, and I appreciated the email communication beforehand. The staff's service was excellent, and it was a relaxing space.
The Lounge at Four Seasons Hotel Tokyo at Otemachi, located on the 39th floor of Otemachi One Tower. I visited for the Wine & Tapas plan from 7 PM to 9 PM. The plan included one drink, and we enjoyed about 20 kinds of tapas and 3 kinds of desserts in a buffet style. It was just the magic hour, and the location overlooking the Imperial Palace and the Nippon Budokan was wonderful. There was also live guitar music every hour, and I was very satisfied with the atmosphere and service. Above all, I was impressed that all the main tapas were delicious. The presentation was also elaborate and beautiful to look at. The afternoon tea plan is also good, but I highly recommend this Wine & Tapas plan.
