HONG KONG – The Market restaurant at Hotel ICON in Tsim Sha Tsui East has introduced a seasonal culinary offering, the “Ultimate Oyster Feast” afternoon tea, featuring premium, extra-large oysters sourced directly from Ofunato in Japan’s Iwate Prefecture. Available daily from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM until April 26, 2026, the menu elevates the traditional afternoon tea concept with a strong focus on high-quality Japanese seafood, combining fresh shucked oysters, specialty seafood rice bowls, and delicately flavored Japanese desserts.
The new afternoon tea set, positioned as a must-try for seafood enthusiasts, leverages the renowned quality of Ofunato oysters known for their size and superior flavor profile. This exclusive dining event combines oceanic indulgence with sophisticated preparation, ensuring an unforgettable midday experience.
Featured Delicacies: A Japanese Seafood Journey
The highlight of the “Ultimate Oyster Feast” is undoubtedly the Iwate Ofunato oysters, presented in two distinct styles to maximize their versatility and flavor. Patrons first enjoy the fresh catch as sashimi, where the freshly shucked oyster is accented with a delicate Japanese vinegar jelly and a sprinkle of glistening caviar. This preparation offers a complex harmony of subtle acidity, sea saltiness, and natural sweetness.
The subsequent preparation introduces heat: the Crab Miso Baked Ofunato Oyster. This preparation involves high-temperature baking until the surface achieves a slight char while preserving the oyster meat’s succulence and fresh marine taste. For those wishing for an extra indulgence, additional Ofunato oysters can be purchased at a promotional price of HK$88 each.
Beyond the star attraction, the set includes several substantial Japanese-inspired savory items. The Specialty Seafood Donburi is built upon a bed of fine pearl rice, generously topped with fresh salmon, gleaming salmon roe (ikura), plump Hokkaido scallops, and sweet amaebi (sweet shrimp). Complementing the rich seafood is a warming, savory Japanese Oyster Miso Soup, which integrates the subtle, fresh sweetness of oyster meat into the comforting, home-style broth.
Sweet Endings and Beverage Pairings
The transition to dessert maintains the innovative Japanese theme, featuring two curated sweet selections designed to cleanse the palate and round out the meal. The Sake Mixed Berries Sorbet provides a refreshing break, offering a vibrant, fruity chill with a subtle, aromatic hint of sake. For a richer finish, the Hojicha Basque Cheesecake delivers deep, roasted tea notes embedded in a velvety cheesecake, leaving a pleasant, lingering aftertaste.
Guests looking to further enhance the Japanese theme can opt for an unlimited selected sake package for an additional HK$108 per person, offering a perfect pairing for the intensely flavored seafood and specialized desserts.
