Jason Atherton & Alex Craciun’s Sosharu Launches
New Japanese-inspired Afternoon Tea
Jason Atherton’s Japanese izakaya-style restaurant, Sosharu,
has launched a new afternoon tea menu inspired by the
iconicwagashi (confectionery) and tea ceremony traditions
of Japan. Developed by executive pastry chef, Emily Argent,
the menu comprises a selection of sweet and savoury dishes,
alongside unique tea blends and specially designed cocktails.

tosazu jelly, spiced mayonnaise and avocado.
