Matcha Meets Strawberry Bliss: Chaso Moritaen Namba Unveils Luxurious Winter “Chafuternoon Tea”

Indulge in a seasonal symphony of rich green tea and sweet-tart domestic strawberries, a quintessential Japanese winter delight.

As winter approaches, Chaso Moritaen Namba is set to enchant diners with its new “Winter Chafuternoon Tea ~PREMIUM~,” launching December 1, 2025. This limited-edition offering masterfully blends the deep, earthy notes of premium matcha with the vibrant sweetness of fresh domestic strawberries, creating an experience that is both visually stunning and exquisitely flavorful. Imagine a tiered stand, each level a treasure trove of treats designed to warm the soul and delight the palate during the colder months.

A Symphony of Sweets: Matcha and Strawberry Delights

The heart of this Chafuternoon Tea lies in its array of meticulously crafted sweets. Guests can anticipate a delightful journey through textures and tastes, from the “Matcha Strawberry Tart” crowned with a whole strawberry, to the light, airy “Strawberry Macaron” and the subtly bitter “Matcha Sable.” Each bite promises a harmonious balance, where the robust intensity of matcha finds its perfect counterpart in the bright, juicy burst of strawberry.

Further sweet temptations include the “Matcha Snowball,” a crumbly winter treat, and the “Strawberry Matcha Mont Blanc,” a visually striking dessert that encases a whole strawberry within its verdant matcha cream. For an interactive delight, the “Matcha Strawberry Skewer” invites a dip into rich matcha sauce, while the “Strawberry Milk Pudding” offers a smooth, refreshing finish with layers of milk pudding, matcha jelly, and strawberries.

Savory Comforts for the Winter Palate

Beyond the sweet indulgence, the Chafuternoon Tea also presents a selection of comforting savories, a thoughtful touch that balances the palate. Guests can savor a warm bowl of “Oroshi Chazuke,” fragrant tea soba topped with grated radish, offering a gentle warmth perfect for a chilly day. The “Grilled Onigiri with Ikura,” a savory rice ball crowned with glistening salmon roe, can even be enjoyed as an ochazuke (rice with tea) by pouring tea over it, a classic Japanese comfort food. Accompaniments like pickles, salty rice crackers (shio okaki), and salted kelp (shiokonbu) complete this savory interlude.
