Located an 8-minute walk from Roppongi Station, I visited the French restaurant "Takumi," which has received a BRONZE AWARD and is listed among the top 100 French restaurants.I went for their afternoon tea on a weekday at 2 PM. While dinner and lunch can be reserved through Tabelog, afternoon tea requires a phone reservation.I was guided to a special private room that felt quite exclusive.I ordered the afternoon tea set for JPY 3,850.The welcome drink options included mango juice, coffee, tea, and chamomile, all available as free refills.Each dish came with a description card.The first item was the chef's specialty: a delicate rose blancmange. It arrived in a vibrant box filled with beautiful roses, instantly elevating my mood with its stunning presentation! Beneath the airy rose mousse was a layer of rose sauce, complemented by a rich blancmange. The aroma was fantastic, and the balance of sweetness and acidity was delightful.Next came the savory course: a salad of seasonal fruits and vegetables featuring apricot, prosciutto, and arugula, served with freshly baked homemade bread and olive oil. The sauce had a perfect balance of umami and saltiness, and the olive oil infused with olive puree was exceptional. This dish truly reflected the level of quality expected at dinner.Following that was the grand dessert: a combination of granola, refreshing cream cheese, and a light vanilla mousse topped with large, delicious blueberries.Finally, there were four types of tea sweets, which paired perfectly with the warm coffee.I enjoyed every bite until the end.Despite the low price, the seating was spacious in the private room. The chef, who humbly mentioned that he enjoys hosting afternoon tea as a hobby, provided outstanding hospitality. I look forward to returning for a meal next time.【Today's Menu】① Avant-Dessert ・Chef's Specialty Delicate Rose Blancmange ② Savory ・Seasonal Fruit and Vegetable Salad Apricot, Prosciutto, Arugula ・Freshly Baked Homemade Bread ・Olive Oil Olive oil infused with olive puree ③ Grand Dessert ・Granola and Cream Cheese ・Light Vanilla Mousse ・Blueberries and their Sauce ④ Four Types of Tea Sweets ・Vanilla-flavored Macaron ・Orangette (Chocolate-covered Orange Peel) ・Kiwi Confit and Chartreuse Jelly ・Raspberry Fruit Paste
