The Tokyo EDITION, Ginza presents the ‘Valextra Afternoon Tea’, created in collaboration with the Italian luxury leather goods house Valextra. Available from Tuesday, 1 September to Monday, 16 November 2026, the limited time afternoon tea will be served at Sophie at EDITION, the hotel’s modern Italian trattoria on the 14th floor.

Inspired by Valextra’s refined Milanese aesthetic and exceptional craftsmanship, this exclusive afternoon tea combines the brand’s timeless elegance with the authentic flavours of Italy, as interpreted by Sophie at EDITION.

The savoury selection showcases Italian classics reimagined through the restaurant’s refined approach. Highlights include Vitello Tonnato, featuring tender Italian veal loin paired with a rich and creamy tuna sauce, and a Bluefin Tuna and Wasabi Bruschetta, where finely diced bluefin tuna tartare is complemented by the fresh heat of wasabi. Guests can also enjoy Italian favourites such as Arancini and a Tomato and Stracciatella Tartlet, celebrating the vibrant flavours of Italy.

The sweet selection pays tribute to both Valextra and Italian culture. Signature creations include a White Chocolate Mousse in the shape of Valextra’s newly launched Iside Tin bag and a Tiramisu decorated with the Valextra logo. Traditional Italian desserts such as Cannoli, originating from Sicily, sit alongside the San Babila Pound Cake, inspired by the window design of the Valexstra’s original flagship boutique that once stood in Milan’s Piazza San Babila, creating a collection that reflects the brand’s distinctive aesthetic and Italian heritage.

Guests who order the Valextra Afternoon Tea will also receive an exclusive Valextra postcard. When presented at participating Valextra boutiques, the postcard can be exchanged for a complimentary original Valextra leather charm.

Experience this limited edition afternoon tea, where Valextra’s understated elegance meets the refined Italian cuisine of Sophie at EDITION, creating a truly special collaboration available for a limited time.

Bluefin Tuna & Wasabi Bruschetta

Crisp garlic bruschetta topped with soy-infused cream cheese, bluefin tuna tartare, and shallots. Chives and fresh Japanese wasabi add a bright, aromatic finish.

Tomato Confit & KAWABA Stracciatella Tartlet

A delicate tartlet filled with stracciatella from KAWABA stracciatella in Gunma prefecture, and house-made San Marzano tomato confit. Balsamic pearls provide a refined contrast to the rich, creamy cheese.

Saffron Risotto & Wagyu Bolognese Arancini

Crisp charcoal-crumbed arancini filled with saffron risotto, Wagyu Bolognese, and green peas. Finished with green pea purée, tomato coulis, and saffron mayonnaise for a harmonious balance of rich umami and delicate saffron aromas.

SWEET

Valextra Espresso Tiramisu

Espresso-soaked savoiardi layered with a smooth blend of Hokkaido cream and Italian mascarpone, finished with a dusting of cocoa powder. A Valextra logo plaque crafted from white chocolate adds a subtle sweetness that perfectly complements the tiramisu’s bittersweet notes.

Iside Tin White Chocolate Mousse
Inspired by Valextra’s iconic Iside Tin bag, this creation is crafted with rich vanilla mousse and white chocolate. The handle is adorned with silver leaf, echoing the statement handle cover embellished with oversized rhinestones.

Cannoli, Ricotta Cheese, Pistachio
A crisp pastry shell generously filled with rich ricotta cream and finished with finely crushed pistachios at each end. This traditional Sicilian pastry brings together a light, crisp texture, creamy ricotta and the distinctive nuttiness of pistachio.

Glasses Case Profiteroles, Chocolate, Almond
Light choux pastry filled with diplomat cream and finished with dark chocolate. A white chocolate decoration inspired by a Valextra glasses case adds a distinctive finishing touch.

Made with candied chestnuts and hazelnut powder, the cake is layered with white chocolate, bringing together the rich flavor of chestnut and the warm, roasted notes of hazelnut.

Strawberry Shortcake
Light, airy sponge layered with strawberries and Hokkaido cream. The gentle sweetness of the cream perfectly balances the bright acidity of the strawberries, creating a delicate and refined finish.

Milanese Torta Sbrisolona
