JW Marriott Hotel Nara Unveils Summer Muscat Afternoon Tea

A Botanical Tribute to Seasonal Muscat

From July 1 to August 31, 2026, JW Marriott Hotel Nara invites guests to the Flying Stag lounge for a Muscat Afternoon Tea. Inspired by the atmosphere of a lush early summer garden, the experience centers on the vibrant green hues and juicy flavors of seasonal Muscat grapes. The menu is designed to evoke a stroll through a verdant landscape, incorporating botanical elements like elderflower and citrus to complement the fruit’s natural sweetness.

Artisanal Sweets and Savory Highlights

The curated selection includes five sweets and five savories that showcase the versatility of Muscat grapes. Highlights from the dessert menu include a Muscat macaron, elderflower blancmange with grape jelly, and a Muscat mille-feuille tartlet. On the savory side, the chef offers creative pairings such as white fish sashimi marinade with Muscat salsa verde and a Muscat and prosciutto mini dog. The experience is rounded out with two types of scones—lemon and elderflower, and raisin and cashew nut—served with free-flow coffee and tea.
