EDITION AFTERNOON TEA

July 23 2026 -

Long regarded as China’s gateway to the world, Shanghai is a cosmopolitan city where Eastern traditions and global influences have come together to create a culinary culture unlike any other. Inspired by the city's enduring Haipai (Shanghai Style) spirit of embracing tradition while welcoming new ideas, The Tokyo EDITION, Toranomon, in collaboration with W Shanghai, presents an exclusive afternoon tea celebrating Shanghai's rich culinary heritage.

The menu reimagines the comforting flavors of Benbang cuisine, Shanghai's beloved home-style cooking, through contemporary creations including a soy-braised duck leg fresh spring roll with melon and caviar, an open-faced smoked salmon sandwich inspired by Shanghai's iconic sweet-savory smoked fish, and a modern Char Siu Feuilleté.

Inspired by the seasons and traditions of Jiangnan, the desserts reinterpret familiar regional flavors through French pâtisserie, from Mugwort Dango and Chilled Mango Cream Tart to Summer Peach Verrine.
