Cucina and Rituals Present “Sakura Romance” Afternoon Tea to Celebrate the Season of Love
Marco Polo Hongkong Hotel
Dining, 5 February 2026
Inspired by Rituals’ iconic The Ritual of Sakura and The Ritual of Yozakura collections, the Sakura Romance afternoon tea embodies the beauty of renewal and serenity. The Sakura collection features cherry blossoms and rice milk extract while the Yozakura series, which boasts a deep floral and amber fragrance, contains Yoshino cherry and black rice extract.
Crafted by Cucina’s Chef de Cuisine Andrea Delzanno, this afternoon tea experience includes 11 pink and purple creations made with cherry blossoms and black rice. Highlights among the five savoury offerings are the duck liver terrine with sakura jelly and the black rice arancini stuffed with crab meat, which offers an umami Japanese twist on an Italian classic. To enhance the flavours, beetroot purée can be added to the savoury creations for vibrancy and earthy sweetness. The set also features six indulgent sweet creations, such as the fluffy and floral sakura cake roll and the beautiful and velvety rose cheesecake. For a refreshing finish, the black rice pudding with mango combines a chewy texture with the sweetness of ripe mango.
Guests who order the Sakura Romance afternoon tea will receive an exclusive Rituals Trial Kit with a Sakura Body Lotion (10ml) and Homme Anti-ageing Face Cream (5ml). The set also includes a discount voucher and rewards card (available while stocks last) to redeem a complimentary Mini Foaming Shower Gel (50ml) and The Ritual of Yozakura Body Cream (40ml) upon any purchase at a Rituals store in Hong Kong.
