The Collaboration Offers a Fusion of Seasonal Washoku, Sake and the British Afternoon Tea Tradition
TOKYO, JP / ACCESS Newswire / June 30, 2025 / Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo, renowned for its cultural heritage and hospitality, is delighted to announce a limited-time collaboration with Asahi Shuzo's Kubota sake. This exclusive experience, available from September to November 2025 at the hotel's traditional Ryotei Kinsui restaurant, commemorates two milestone anniversaries: the 40th anniversary of Kubota sake and the 100th anniversary of Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo's iconic three-story pagoda.
Guests can look forward to a seasonal menu that features 13 varieties of Kubota sake, showcased through both sake-infused creations and expertly curated pairings. Suite room guests can also enjoy an exclusive sake pairing event in the hotel's Executive Lounge, Le Ciel.
This immersive dining experience highlights the harmony of Japanese flavors and aesthetics. The selection of autumnal dishes features ingredients such as chestnuts, figs, apples, persimmons, and matsutake mushrooms, which pair wonderfully with Kubota sake varieties. Notable menu items include chestnut-fig seasonal vegetable pairings and an apple compote tart infused with Kubota Hyakujyu sake.
A standout feature is the Kubota sake tasting set, offering some of the brand's most celebrated sake varieties, including Kubota Manjyu, Kubota Senjyu Akiagari, and the limited-edition Kubota Manjyu Original Yeast. Guests will also enjoy a Kubota Sparkling Sake welcome drink and leave with an ochoko sake cup.
"Our afternoon tea offers international guests a singular way to experience Japanese culture," remarks Tomohiko Chihiro, General Manager of Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo. "By reimagining afternoon tea with seasonal washoku and premium sake, we hope to delight those who are curious about Japanese hospitality and culture."
