This Issey Miyake afternoon tea set is prepared and presented by Japanese pastry chef Kiyoshi Utsumi and his team.
Utsumi has more than 20 years of baking experience and was inspired by Pleats Please and Bao Bao Issey Miyake, which are two brands under Issey Miyake, to add pleat-like elements, geometric figures and mirrors to the designs of the tea set’s various desserts.
In particular, the 2017 Spring/Summer color palette — light blue, yellow and cream — were incorporated into the confections in bold strokes, ensuring sets that are colorful, modern and distinct.
The Issey Miyake afternoon tea set will still follow the tradition of English afternoon tea, with two distinct menus presented on three-tiered trays. No matter which menu a guest chooses, it is best to start with the fresh finger sandwiches, and then move on to the delicious scones with cream and jam. The tea’s highlights will be the specially designed Issey Miyake-themed desserts, which include pistachio-strawberry cream financiers, white chocolate brownies, blueberry macaroons and coconut sakura jelly.
The Issey Miyake afternoon tea set is available from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. daily at 268 yuan (US$39) for two persons, including tea or coffee. The price is subject to a 15 percent service charge including tax.(Tang Li)
