Information for the seasonal afternoon tea at Shikitei Cafe in Saitama City.
The 2023 Halloween event is called “Treat Afternoon Tea”.
Seasonal Afternoon Tea
Shikitei Cafe is a cafe restaurant located in a wedding venue Omiya Rikyu which since 2023 is more commonly known as Art Grace. Shikitei cafe is open to the public, but the rest of the venue is only for wedding guests. They have a fixed menu on the restaurant end of things, but each season they offer a themed afternoon tea. They are very popular, so it is advised to book as early as possible. (I have no affiliation to Shikitei / Omiya Rikyu / Art Grace, just disseminating information).

They have various seasonal offerings, but I only feature the Summer, Halloween, Winter and the Spring Afternoon Tea. Their Halloween High Tea remains the most famous and popular (on this blog). However, Art Grace was featured on ZIP! (Nihon TV) this summer and the restaurant has been busier than ever since!
Halloween Menu




The Halloween Autumn Afternoon Tea at Cafe Shikitei uses autumn flavors such as sweet potatoes, chestnuts and pumpkins. There are also, of course, sweet flavors such as chocolate, caramel and, for the seasonal fruit, apple.
The 3 tier tea stand has various mini desserts, such as Mont Blanc, tarts and macarons. There is also mousse and parfait. The savoury flavors include salmon in an open sandwich, potato crumble and hojicha pudding. Rather than scones, the Halloween Afternoon tea comes with pastry. In addition, the afternoon tea is accompanied with all you can drink (in 90 minutes) coffee or tea. The tea is particularly recommended this year.
