Restaurant Details
If the goal is to take cute Instagram pictures over afternoon tea, then there are few better places to do it — if any — than Ginger Garden Aoyama.
Variously described as “heart-fluttering,” “outside of the everyday” and “adorable,” The Ginger Garden cafes are more or less the first choice for anyone looking to go for a cute, aesthetic joshikai (girls-only gathering) in Tokyo. The original branch, Ginger Garden Aoyama, is the cafe that is widely attributed to have kicked off the “afternoon tea” craze in Japan, sparking the trend of dressing up in one’s Sunday best to take pictures with beautifully sculpted desserts.
MOSKA by Ginger Garden, a branch, follows in the spirit of the original with the characteristic elaborate floral displays. Arrangements of seasonal flowers like hydrangeas and cherry blossoms hang from the ceilings like the rafters of a floral chapel, ensconcing each table in its very own secret garden hideaway.
The Ginger Garden cafes are also notable for its limited-time collaborations with some of Japan’s most famous mascots, including the instantly recognizable Hello Kitty and My Melody. The featured character in these collaborations changes semi-regularly, so fans of Sanrio character Kuromi — My Melody’s wildly popular rival — should don their cutest and make their way down to MOSKA by Ginger Garden while they still can (make sure to wear purple to match!). The cafe also serves non-collaboration menus, such as the White Chandelier Afternoon Tea from December to February.
But the food isn’t just to take pictures of. The delectable delights at the Ginger Garden cafes are the brainchild of patissiers Kogita Kodai and Kawamura Naoto, whose stunning work at parfait bar Constellation and waterfront restaurant Yorimichi Odaiba carries over to the desserts here. From macarons to mousse to meringue, the duo deftly sculpts thematic desserts that taste just as good as they look.
Diners making reservations through byFood have some optional extras: not only do they get a box of three of the wildly popular Teddy Ginger bear-shaped chocolates to take home, but if they submit their names at reservation, a Teddy Ginger will be served to them on a special plate with their name written on it, accompanied by an arrangement of fresh flowers and steaming dry ice for that extra aesthetic.
Located in the chic and stylish Aoyama area of Tokyo, a 3-minute walk from Omotesando Station, it’s the perfect place to spend an afternoon with your girlfriends.
