Afternoon Tea @ Aman, Tokyo

Aman Tokyo, opened its door in Dec, 2014. I was not pay much attention to the hotel, but the afternoon tea was caught my attention when I saw the pic of their presentation. I don't think I see similar one in other hotel and restaurant. I was not the only one who fell in love their afternoon tea, many women also love it at once like me. Finally, I could make a reservation and had it with my  friend.

The view from our seat. I could see the Shinjuku skyscrapers!

Free Flow drinks from the menu.
I had four kinds of drink:
Black Tea"Jewel of Nuwara Dliya"
Flavor Tea "Sunshine Lady"
Herbal Tea "Morgensonne"
Coffee
Scones
Scone of Plain and Green Tea
Hokkaido Clotted Cream, House-Made Jam(Marmalade and Raspberry), Honey

While we were chatting, the Afternoon tea plates were brought to our table. Their theme of the afternoon tea is black.
Some are colored black.
Especially, the top chocolates are all so lovely, and I hesitate to even take a bite.
Off course, the plate, tea cup, spoon, folk and knife are all black.
Yamagata Cherry and White Wine Jelly Shot
with Chocolate Hat were brought to our table, too.

It was time for "OHANA-MI" season in Tokyo when we visited the hotel. Even it's a bit early, it was full bloom. Some people says the hotel is pretty simple, but modern. I like the lounge and restaurant a lot,  but I don't know if I want to stay there. There are many fancy and lovely hotels in Tokyo, and I prefer to stay other hotels.
