press release

This fall's theme for THE KAHALA Lounge 's popular seasonal afternoon tea is "grapes." The menu features a variety of items that allow you to fully enjoy Kyoho and Shine Muscat grapes, which are at their peak of flavor at this time of year. The desserts, which are made with minimal processing of the fruit to bring out the natural flavor of the ingredients, include six varieties, including Shine Muscat shortcake and a tart topped with Kyoho and Shine Muscat grapes. The Hawaiian Donut Malasada, a classic scone alternative at THE KAHALA Lounge, is also back this year, its fluffy texture enhancing the freshness and popping texture of the fruit.

Additionally, the savory menu, created by Chef Otsuka Kosuke, who oversees the hotel's Western cuisine department, including the Italian restaurant RISTORANTE OZIO, will feature the debut of the "Kouign Amann Otsuka Style." This traditional French pastry is arranged in Otsuka's style as a dish rather than a dessert. The surface is caramelized with brown sugar and topped with lightly sweet maple cream. This is a new signature dish, seasoned with four spices, including cloves and nutmeg, and a touch of salt.
