Pier 215, known for their fusion take on Japanese food, brings back an exquisite afternoon tea experience. You can treat yourself to this seafood extravaganza every Saturday and Sunday, from 12 PM – 5 PM.
What is Japanese afternoon tea?
Japanese afternoon tea blends the elegance of Western-style tea service with traditional Japanese flavors and hospitality. It’s not historically rooted like British afternoon tea. Instead, it’s a modern fusion concept that has become popular in hotels, ryokan, and specialty cafes across Japan.
You can expect flavors that highlight the current season, like matcha, yuzu, black sesame, or certain fruits. The menu often changes monthly or quarterly. It’s not uncommon to get a mix of savory and sweet typical dishes. You could enjoy sweets like mochi, fusion creations such as yuzu tarts, and savory bites like miso salmon, or karaage sliders.
The experience at Pier 215
Pier 215 is well-knows for its seafood plates, blending flavorful Japanese favorites with the subtle influences of fine Italian cuisine. Under Chef Ted Jung, you can find a menu everyone can enjoy, at accessible price points. Chef Ted sharpened his outstanding tastes as the Master Sushi Chef at Nobu in Caesars Palace and the Yellowtail Sushi Restaurant and Bar at Bellagio.
