Mitsui Garden Hotel Yokohama Minatomirai Premier has announced its “Summer Tropical Afternoon Tea,” a seasonal culinary event running from July 1 to August 31, 2026. Hosted at RISTORANTE E’VOLTA -Unico Polo- on the 20th floor, the experience combines panoramic views of Yokohama Harbor with a menu designed around the vibrant flavors of tropical fruits.
Tropical Flavors and Harbor Views
The hotel, which occupies the upper floors of the Yokohama Connect Square building, serves as a vantage point for the Minatomirai skyline. The afternoon tea menu at RISTORANTE E’VOLTA -Unico Polo- utilizes seasonal ingredients to create a resort-like atmosphere. Guests can dine in a space characterized by high ceilings and expansive windows that frame the waterfront.
Seasonal Savories and Sweets
The menu offers a balance of fruit-forward savories and desserts. Notable savory items include red shrimp and papaya fresh spring rolls served with mandarin orange mayonnaise and a beef tart accompanied by caramelized pineapple. The sweet selection highlights summer staples such as lemon macarons, banana tarts, lychee lassi, and mango daifuku (a soft rice cake with sweet filling). The service includes free-flow specialty teas and coffees, though the menu may adjust based on daily ingredient availability.
Summer Seasonal Cocktails
Complementing the tea service, BAR BELLO GATTI offers three limited-edition cocktails. The “Frozen Affogato” provides a cold, textured profile, while “Summer Ripple” is a visual piece designed to resemble a goldfish in a shimmering pond. For those seeking traditional influences, the “Suitei” cocktail captures the essence of anmitsu (a traditional dessert of agar jelly and fruit) with a gentle sweetness and various textures.
A Sky-High Retreat in Minatomirai
The hotel’s design follows a cruise ship motif, positioning the property as a “moored” vessel above the city. All 364 guest rooms feature large windows that provide views of either the harbor or the mountains, including Mount Fuji on clear days. Beyond dining, the 20th floor includes a sky pool and fitness center, catering to both leisure and business travelers looking for a central location in Yokohama.
