At “Hoshinoya Karuizawa” in Karuizawa, Nagano Prefecture, where it all started, from November 17, 2024 to February 28, 2025, one group per day will be able to enjoy the rice terrace lounge bathed in winter scenery. We will be offering a limited edition “Rice Rice Terrace Afternoon Tea -Winter-”. Afternoon tea depicts the winter scene of rice terraces, a landscape that symbolizes HOSHINOYA Karuizawa. You can enjoy an elegant moment with a limited edition rosé cider and the traditional craft of drinking “Sakura Kabacha” while looking out at the quiet winter scenery from the special seat on the terraced rice fields, which has been changed to a kotatsu seat. . Background HOSHINOYA Karuizawa is surrounded by the rich forest at the foot of Mt. Asama, and is a facility based on the concept of “staying in a village in the valley.” He also envisioned an imaginary “another Japan,” such as “what if Japan had modernized while valuing its uniqueness even more,” and “what if Japanese culture had matured to the present day.” The landscape of the rice terraces within the village was also designed with the theme of “another Japan” and is expressed as an original landscape that resonates with the Japanese people. The Rice Terrace Lounge was created in the summer of 2024 as a base for rest overlooking the rice terraces. When you sit down in the lounge seat, you can enjoy the changing seasons. In winter, the rice terraces are covered with groves of winter trees that have shed their leaves. We wanted to provide a dining experience where you can enjoy the flavors of winter while looking out at the winter scenery spreading before your eyes from the kotatsu seats, so we developed a winter-only afternoon tea.

We offer afternoon tea that is unique to this area, combining the blessings of Shinshu’s mountains and food culture. The three-tiered cake has small sweets that give you a sense of the changing seasons and food culture of Shinshu, such as cute nerikiri shaped like snow rabbits and camellias, which are reminiscent of a snowy landscape, and unique macarons made with ingredients unique to Shinshu. You can also enjoy meals that make use of ingredients unique to this region, such as carp raised in clear streams and wild game from the rich mountains. We also offer a warm soy milk cheese fondue that is perfect for the cold winter. The soy milk base combines the gentle flavor of Shinshu miso and Saikyo miso, and the mellow aroma of Camembert cheese adds to the richness and depth of this dish. You can spend time enjoying the gentle taste of fondue while feeling the crisp winter air and warming your body from the core.

We will prepare “Rosé” and “Sakura Birch Tea”, which is also known as a traditional drinking craft made from wild cherry tree bark. “Premium Cider POMME ROSE” is a sweet and sour rosé cider made from a blend of three rare red-fleshed apples, Enbu from Shinshu, IHR17, and Maypole from England, and finished by secondary
fermentation in the bottle. The refreshing acidic taste goes well with a variety of rice terrace afternoon tea items, which have no boundaries between Japanese and Western styles. In addition, “Sakura Birch Tea” is a blended tea made from the bark of Oyama cherry blossoms, which is the material used to make kabazaiku. This tea has a gentle texture and a refreshing flavor that brings out the sense of unity with rice terraces and afternoon tea.

This cider is made by combining the flavors of various apples that can only be made in Iizuna Town, Shinshu, which grows more than 50 varieties of apples, and by using the traditional European pressing method that takes time to extract the juice and flavor of the apples. We are practicing making. Feature 3 A unique three-tiered afternoon tea that reflects the four seasons of the rice terraces

Asama, with a different impression from the exterior and interior. The outside is made of “Kabazaiku” made from the bark of wild cherry trees, creating an appearance reminiscent of trees lining rice terraces. Kaba Zaiku is a unique and beautiful material that uses natural bark, each piece of which has a different color and knot shape. In addition, you can feel the texture, the deep color, and the texture of a living tree growing. Additionally, the interior of the three-tiered structure is decorated with “bent woodwork” to express the curves of the rice terraces in front of you. This three-tiered heavyweight is deeply integrated with the landscape of the rice terraces by utilizing the craftsmanship inside and outside of the heavyweight. “Rice Rice Terrace Afternoon Tea -Winter-” Overview Period: November 17, 2024 to February 28, 2025 (exclusion dates apply) Offer time: 12:00-15:00 Price: 12,000 yen per person (tax and service charge included) *Accommodation fee not included Includes: Afternoon tea set (sweets/meals/select drinks) Capacity: Limited to 2 to 4 people per group per day Reservation : Official website Make a reservation by 24:00 5 days in advance at Target: HOSHINOYA Karuizawa guests only Note: The content of the dishes and the origin of the ingredients may change depending on purchasing conditions and seasons. ■Hoshinoya HOSHINOYA offers an overwhelmingly extraordinary experience with each facility having a unique theme, based on the concept of “Go to the special seat of that moment.” At each of our facilities in Japan and overseas, we delicately incorporate the climate, history, and culture of each region into our hospitality, allowing visitors to experience the best moments that can only be experienced during the seasons.
