Amber & Spice Autumn Afternoon Tea

The street trees of Sapporo deepen in colour with each passing day. From yellow to orange, and then to amber — as autumn deepens, the city takes on ever warmer tones. Maple syrup, espresso, hojicha, poached pear, fragrant malt scones. Perhaps it is no coincidence that the season’s finest flavours all share the colour of amber.

The Amber & Spice Autumn Afternoon Tea gathers the deepening season plate by plate around this theme of amber, layering it with the aroma of spices — an afternoon tea to be enjoyed through both colour and fragrance.

Nutmeg, cardamom, bergamot, dukkah. When aromatics are layered over the harvest season’s ingredients, flavours grow deeper and richer. Hokkaido Ebisu pumpkin and hanasaki crab quiche is finished with nutmeg and thyme; Hokkaido onion and barley consommé carries a quiet note of cardamom; and poached pear is paired with hojicha jelly and bergamot foam, so that even the lingering aroma becomes part of the pleasure. Our lunch buffet “Spice Market”, with its full-fledged culinary composition centred on spices, has been warmly received over two seasons. This autumn, that expression of aroma is carried into our afternoon tea.

As mornings and evenings grow colder, time spent indoors becomes all the more precious. Beginning at noon, this afternoon tea may be enjoyed as an unhurried lunch or as a leisurely afternoon interlude. Six sweets are matched by six savouries, including truffle arancini and a vol-au-vent of Hokkaido venison bolognese with autumn eggplant, several served warm. Scented with spices, these savouries pair beautifully with wine — and this season, red and white wine join our welcome drink selection.

The very ground on which Hotel Sosei Sapporo MGallery Collection stands is where, in 1876, the Kaitakushi Brewery — the forerunner of Sapporo Beer — was born. Amber is also the colour that marked the beginning of this city. From the start of September until the first snow arrives at the end of November, we invite you to spend an afternoon savouring autumn in colour and aroma, alongside a story found only in this place.
