Sofitel Singapore City Centre is elevating afternoon tea with a unique Japanese-French fusion experience, in collaboration with Warabimochi Kamakura, Japan’s renowned warabimochi specialist. From 1 March to 30 April 2025, guests can indulge in a warabimochi-themed afternoon tea, blending the delicate textures of traditional Japanese sweets with refined French culinary techniques.

This limited-edition afternoon tea offers an 11-course tasting menu, beautifully presented in a Japanese zen garden-inspired setting, guiding diners through a carefully curated progression of light, delicate flavours to bold, indulgent ones.

A Culinary Fusion of Two Traditions

Inspired by the silky, chewy texture of warabimochi, the afternoon tea menu combines Japanese ingredients like kinako (roasted soybean flour) and kuromitsu (Okinawan brown sugar syrup) with French pastries and savoury delights.

Savoury Highlights

• Warabimochi Tempura with Snow Crab Slaw & Black Tobiko – A crispy, tempura-fried warabimochi paired with a refreshing crab slaw, kinako powder, and bursts of black tobiko.
• “Yakishabu” Beef with Black Garlic & Mangetsu Egg – Tender slow-cooked beef flank served with creamy mangetsu egg, house-made ponzu, and chive oil.
• Mushroom Duxelle on Egg Tartlet – A buttery tart filled with egg white mayonnaise, golden egg yolk glaze, and a rich mushroom duxelle.

Sweet Creations

• Goma Crepe Roll Cake – Layers of delicate bracken-infused crepe wrapped around a luscious black sesame cream, topped with a kinako sable.
• Salted Peanut Chocolate Warabimochi Tart – A decadent tart with Manjari chocolate warabimochi filling, crunchy peanut nougatine, and a salted peanut garnish.

Each afternoon tea set is served with a handcrafted Chrysanthemum mocktail and a choice of premium TWG tea or barista-made coffee.
