The Prince Gallery Tokyo Kioicho is turning its spring tea service into a rose display, with a limited afternoon tea running from May 15 to June 30. (fashion-press.net) The set is called “Floral Blossom Afternoon Tea ~Rose~” and will be served on the hotel’s 35th and 36th floors in Tokyo’s Kioicho district. Prices start at ¥7,500, with a separate 15 percent service charge. (fashion-press.net) Service is split by venue: All-Day Dining OASIS GARDEN on the 36th floor offers it from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., and Sky Gallery Lounge Levita on the 35th floor serves it from 2:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Reservations require at least two people and run for two hours. (princehotels.co.jp) The menu is built around seven sweets in red and pink tones, including berry and rose jelly panna cotta, rose financier, lychee raspberry mousse, strawberry macaron, and rhubarb fromage blanc mousse. A pink candy butterfly and a bee-shaped choux pastry are used as decoration. (fashion-press.net) The savory side is lighter and more garden-themed than dessert-led tea menus often are. It includes chilled green pea potage, beets and salmon arranged in a garden style, brandade, tzatziki topped with caviar, and two scones: chamomile lemon and plain. (fashion-press.net) The hotel says the rose edition is the second part of a two-stage “Floral Blossom Afternoon Tea” series that runs from April through June. The first installment was a spring tea inspired by a butterfly-filled garden. (fashion-press.net) The setting is part of the pitch. The Prince Gallery Tokyo Kioicho says Tokyo Garden Terrace Kioicho, where the hotel sits, sees multiple rose varieties bloom during this season, and the tea was designed to match that timing. (princehotels.co.jp) The hotel is positioning the tea inside a broader luxury brand image rather than as a standalone dessert event. Its official site describes the property as the top tier of the Prince Hotels brand, and says it received a five-star rating from Forbes Travel Guide in 2026 for a sixth straight year. (princehotels.co.jp, princehotels.co.jp) For now, the rose tea is a six-week seasonal offer with fixed service windows, a two-person minimum, and no accommodation for menu changes or allergen removal, according to the hotel and Fashion Press.
