The creations included on this menu incorporate the Sakura! Sakura! Tea in interesting ways.

To start, there’s a Lobster and White Asparagus soup made with sweet potato curry and topped with a rice cracker. Served in a tea cup, of course, this dish is paired with hot Sakura! Sakura! Tea.

For the main, TWG Tea serves a Duck Breast dressed with a sour cherry jus, along with a Cod Brandade with romanesco carpaccio and Sakura! Sakura! infused poached kanpachi. This dish is plated like a masterpiece, and it lies on a bed of lychee coconut lime chilli vinaigrette and a miso carrot purée.
