I remembered Aqua Dining Bar Ginza Lime while researching Shinagawa's Shinagawa Aquarium and Maxell Aqua Park Shinagawa. I had never visited it before, so I wondered if it was still open in Ginza. When I searched for "Aquarim," I found two in Shinjuku: Aqua Dining Shinjuku JeMare and Aqua Dining Shinjuku Lime, as well as a restaurant in Ueno. I decided to visit during the day for the "Princess Afternoon Tea for 4,500 yen." The restaurant in Ueno is familiar to me, but I wonder what kind of restaurant was here before. The seating options include private and semi-private rooms. We reserved the best private room, which allows four people to dine in front of an aquarium. The room is not very spacious, but thanks to the magic of mirrors, it looks like the ceiling is high, giving the impression of a larger space. The semi-private rooms are separated by curtains and are ideal for couples sitting side by side, enjoying the mesmerizing view of the aquarium. Thank you for booking the best private room. Some fish were familiar, but the pink and yellow fish were vivid and beautiful. Even without food, I could spend hours just looking at the aquarium. It's strange that in this atmosphere, no one speaks loudly, so you can't hear voices from other rooms. Although some places advertise as private rooms, even with just a wooden board separating them, voices can still be heard. Everyone here seems to be in a serene state, provided with a quiet space. During my study abroad in England, I never had a high-class afternoon tea. For me, afternoon tea was PG Tips tea and McVities biscuits sold at supermarkets. I ordered the Princess Afternoon Tea that started on November 1st. Despite feeling embarrassed about the "Princess" title, I am looking forward to enjoying it in such a pleasant atmosphere. I had a glass of sparkling wine for a toast, and the cuteness of the glass was indescribable. I requested organic mint meringue tea in a teapot. The tea is all-you-can-drink with teapot refills. The afternoon tea stand was set up, showcasing everything we would enjoy today. I started with the sandwiches on the bottom tier. Although there were no warm items besides tea, the sandwich fillings were very luxurious. The small croissant sandwich with smoked salmon was delicious, with the cream cheese pairing exceptionally well. The sweets were all strawberry-based, with large strawberries leaving a lasting impression. I particularly liked the strawberry and melonpan maritozzo, a cake with a subtle sweetness. When my tea was finished, I requested a cafe latte with latte art, which featured two different designs. The foam took a while to settle, and when I tasted it, it seemed to have a salty hint. Everything here was visually enjoyable, even the tableware adorned with pearls and the charming wine glasses with hearts. I look forward to visiting those fish again.
