Couldn’t make it to Japan this year to see the cherry blossoms? Us neither, but luckily you can still enjoy the Japanese spring vibes right here in Dublin.
To coincide with the arrival of Hanami – a Japanese tradition of appreciating the beauty of cherry blossoms – Chef Stephen Maguire at the College Green Hotel will launch Dublin’s first Sakura Afternoon Tea. The culinary team will explore themes of cherry flavours and rose and red fruits to celebrate the onset of the Cherry Blossom season.
The Sakura Afternoon Tea will take place in The Atrium Lounge, which rises over five floors to the glass canopy of the ceiling, making it the perfect setting for a relaxing afternoon treat (especially if the sun is shining in Dublin!).
Here’s what you can expect on the menu, alongside a tempting selection of Japanese teas…
- Fuji Apple, Celery & Egg Salad on College Green Soda Bread
- Salmon & Cucumber, Miso & Dill Cream Cheese, White Loaf
- Japanese Chicken Waffle, Soy Marinade, Roasted Nori with Japanese 7 Spice
