I finally checked off the legendary "hardest-to-book" ORIGAMI birdcage afternoon tea ☕️. Reservations are a battle, cancellations are rare, but the moment you take your first bite, it all feels worth it! Here’s the ultimate booking tip 🔍: The monthly reservation release on the official website is a frenzy with low success rates. If you spot a cancellation, don’t panic! Call them directly, mention the available time you saw online, and confirm to secure your spot—tested and proven effective! The ambiance is the ultimate setting for a girls' day out 🌿. Hidden in the bustling city, it’s a tranquil space designed by Kengo Kuma, featuring wooden slats and birdcage decor. Sitting down instantly transports you to an "English aristocratic afternoon tea" vibe, with elegance wafting through the air ✨. The menu changes with the seasons, offering delightful surprises! The crab gratin is a must-try masterpiece—overflowing with crab meat and cheese, one bite and you’ll be stomping your feet in delight 🦀️. The seasonal pumpkin pudding is also divine, with a creamy texture and a hint of saltiness that adds layers of flavor 🎃. When the food is served, the staff provides detailed introductions to the drinks and desserts, elevating the experience with a sense of ceremony. Chatting with your besties while savoring the treats, stealing a leisurely afternoon in Tokyo—this is what afternoon tea should be all about!
