Christmas Afternoon Tea : A Festive Journey from Nara to Samarkand

This season’s afternoon tea, centered on the meeting of history and culture between Nara and Samarkand, features a delightful array of travel-inspired sweets: semi-dried apricots infused with saffron to evoke the bounty of the Silk Road; a velvety mousse combining pistachio richness with butterfly pea flower’s blue hue and mango’s sweet-tart flavor; and bonbon chocolates capturing the essence of Samarkand—the “City of Spices”—with notes of chai and deep cocoa.
Complemented by one sweet and four savory items blending Nara’s charm with exotic flair, this is a special winter-only afternoon tea that beautifully brings this world to life.

Samarkand Blue

Period: November 1, 2026 (Sun) – January 10, 2027 (Sun)
Time: 17:00 – 21:00

We are delighted to present a jewel-like Christmas cocktail that reflects the enchanting beauty of Samarkand, the “City of Blue.”
Our bartenders crafted this special creation after speaking with the bar team at JW Marriott Hotel Tashkent, drawing inspiration from local ingredients and aromas cherished in Uzbekistan.

This cocktail brings together oriental spices such as clove with botanicals deeply rooted in Nara—Yamato tōki, Yamato tachibana, and kihada—uniting two distant lands in a single glass. The gentle sweetness of vodka and white chocolate liqueur is layered with the complex fragrance of spices and botanicals.

The deep, luminous blue filling the glass evokes the sky of Samarkand and the iconic blue tiles that adorn its historic mosques.
Please enjoy this festive-season cocktail where the scents of faraway Uzbekistan meet those of ancient Nara.
