01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
The gentle aroma rising from a warm teapot and the buttery scent drifting from the oven make teatime feel like an unhurried indulgence. Located in a quiet corner of Wakamatsucho, Shinjuku Ward, BIRTHDAY MORE offers carefully curated teas and freshly baked scones, served with polite care by staff in classic attire.
Crisp, Flaky Scones and Generous Clotted Cream
Arriving warm at the table, the scones feature a crisp, fragrant exterior and a light, crumbly interior. Breaking open the fermented butter dough releases a puff of steam, pairing naturally with rich clotted cream and fruit jam. Guests who prefer an indulgent spread can opt for an extra-large clotted cream portion or order refills to achieve their ideal balance.
A Diverse Tea List Worth Exploring
Teas are served by the pot from an extensive menu that includes celebrated Mariage Frères blends such as Marco Polo and Wedding Impérial, alongside selections from TEAPOND and Lupicia. Offerings range from floral and fruit-scented flavored teas to robust Assam and brisk Darjeeling, with staff on hand to recommend a cup that matches the moment.
Afternoon Tea Harmonizing Sweets with Spiced Curry
For a more leisurely visit, the afternoon tea set presents a scone tasting flight alongside a shortcake trifle and a daily dessert. The lineup also incorporates a mellow, spice-rich curry on the savory side, lending an appetizing contrast between the sweet courses.
With seating limited to an intimate dining space, advance reservations are standard. It is a quiet venue tailored for those wishing to savor an uninterrupted tea session.
