Sakura Bubbles

Cherry blossom season is almost here and hanami-themed, well, everything is already taking over Tokyo's shops, restaurants and hotels. One sakura deal worth considering is this special afternoon tea offering at the Strings by InterContinental's newly opened Bubbles Bar. ¥2,000 gets you a spread of five different lollipop-style desserts made with seasonal ingredients, plus a glass of cherry blossom-flavoured sparkling wine courtesy of Cafe de Paris. The 26th-floor views over Shinagawa and beyond only add to the elegance.
