Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi British Exhibition 2024: Mornington Crescent⁣ Anniversary Afternoon Tea Review

Following Part 1 of the Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi British Exhibition 2024, we attended Part 2, which featured the highly anticipated Mornington Crescent Tokyo’s 10th-anniversary celebration. The main event was the Mornington Crescent Tokyo Anniversary Afternoon Tea, ⁢a special afternoon tea organized by Stacey, which required‍ online reservations beforehand.

Upon arrival, we were greeted by the beautifully set‌ up afternoon tea ‌stands. Our reservation was for 10:10, and ⁤we ⁤were seated at‌ the high counter, eagerly awaiting the start of the afternoon tea.

The afternoon⁢ tea consisted of three tiers: savory, scones, and sweets. We began with the savory ‍section, which included a cucumber and dill sandwich, mini jacket potatoes and coronation chicken, and mackerel pate and rye crackers. The mackerel ⁤pate was a standout, made from smoked mackerel and⁢ paired perfectly with the crispy and fragrant rye crackers.

The middle tier featured a ⁤selection of scones, including⁣ savory scones with cheddar ⁤cheese and chives.⁣ These scones were flavorful and‍ delicious, ⁤and we wished we had wine to pair with them.

The⁤ top tier was a stunning display of sweets, including ⁢a mini Battenberg cake, a matcha Battenberg, ⁣and a mini Pavlova ⁣parfait. The matcha Battenberg was a highlight, with a bitter ⁤taste that was easy to eat and ‍would likely be⁤ a hit ‍with Japanese people. ⁣The Pavlova parfait was a refreshing⁤ change of pace after the savory dishes and baked goods.

Another standout was the Bramley Apple Crumble, which looked plain but was irresistible due to the sweet and sour ⁢taste of ⁢the Bramley ⁢apple‍ and the crispy crumble. We highly recommend trying this dessert.

The tea was served in a⁤ teapot, and we were able to refill our cups as many times as ⁢we liked. The electric ⁤kettle in the background was a nice touch.

We highly recommend making a reservation for the Mornington Crescent Anniversary Afternoon ⁢Tea, as it allows you to take your time and enjoy the⁢ experience without the need for a numbered ticket ⁢and wait. The reservation-only eat-in option is a great ‍way to experience the afternoon tea without‍ the crowds.

the Mornington Crescent Anniversary Afternoon Tea was the highlight⁣ of our ⁣British exhibition experience. We ‌were impressed by Stacey’s good taste and⁢ attention to detail, and we would highly recommend this event ‍to anyone⁢ looking for a unique and delicious afternoon tea experience.
