Introducing brands participating in the “Scone Party Afternoon Tea Bus Tour”
①Benois
In the mid-19th century, Chef "Monsieur Benois" moved from France to London.
The high-quality food he creates has been widely loved and highly evaluated by the gourmets of the British royal family and the aristocracy of London. As a purveyor to Queen Elizabeth II, Queen Elizabeth, and Prince Charles, we have been granted permission to use three coats of arms, and it is Benoist that inherited that tradition and formality to Japan. We offer high quality and delicious food.
②Forest Michikusa Michikusa Scone
A scone shop that does not have a store in Okayama. Made with domestic wheat flour and millet sugar. Egg free. I make each one by hand. Even children with egg allergies can safely eat it. This is my first online sale.
③Mornington Crescenton
Popular sweets class. Twice a month, traditional British sweets are sold irregularly at the Open Bakery, which is a popular item that sells out quickly. Authentic British scones made by representative Stacey Ward. It is a home style that is still rare in Japan.
④ Belize Tea Room
Based on the concept of "authentic black tea and English sweets shop", a small tea room was opened in 2013 and moved to Hamadayama Station. We always have about 20 kinds of tea, crumpets, scones, cakes, etc.
⑤Niki's Kitchen
"Niki's Kitchen" is a unique style of cooking class where you visit the homes of foreigners living in Japan and learn the home cooking of that country. Currently, there are 50 teachers from 30 countries around the world. "Niki's Baking Party" is a shop that has branded the "homemade deliciousness of the world" conveyed by Niki's Kitchen. The scones are all hand kneaded without using machines. We deliver the old-fashioned British taste as it is without preservatives or colorings.
⑥ Bake shop lottery
The scones, which have been baked according to the same original recipe since our founding, are baked simply and gently without adding anything extra. It is the most popular plane at the British exhibition held by department stores.
⑦ROSEY
We are particular about the texture and aroma, and the flour is 100% made in England.
Plenty of fermented butter, milk, fresh cream, and free-range eggs are also used.
Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside.
Please enjoy the texture that melts in your mouth.
⑧It's my cup of tea
“THE SCONE” is wrapped in the mellow aroma of butter that melts your heart with its crispy and light texture. The scones of it's my cup of tea are carefully selected "wheat flour" that naturally melts in your mouth, "butter" with a deep richness and flavor that permeates the whole body, and many kinds of experiments. Carefully selected "baking powder". It is a miracle scone made by mixing the goodness of each and multiplying the ingredients.
