The menu also includes scones that resemble dice, fresh strawberries, and a welcome drink called “Strawberry Tea Punch,” which expresses the colors of playing cards with strawberries and blueberries.
Monthly “Hanafuda” cocktails also available
Also, from Monday, December 26, 2022 through Sunday, May 7, 2023, a monthly strawberry cocktail themed on “Hanafuda” will be available. Each month’s cocktail will be inspired by the Tsuki-fuda, using the best variety of strawberries in season for that month.
