Eight Cool Confections — A Taste of Summer in Every Bite
Kuzu ice, kanten and mizu-yokan anchor an eight-course procession of chilled sweets built around seasonal fruits. A standout is the junsai and seasonal fruit dessert: water-shield leaves and ripe fruit float on a lotus leaf with mint and lime, offering a vivid burst of freshness that looks as cool as it tastes. Equally unexpected is the chilled white-pearl-corn shiruko — a sustainable creation that coaxes every drop of natural sweetness from irregular-sized kernels. Wasanbon panna cotta is paired with red-shiso jelly, its smooth melt giving way to a lingering herbal aroma; hon-warabi mochi with its silky pull and a kuzu ice round out the sweet tier, while a Kujo green onion and kuro-shichimi sablé adds a savoury exclamation mark.
Kappo Savouries — Summer Vegetables, Kyoto Style
The savoury tier is entirely the work of our washoku kitchen: simmered aubergine dressed with daigo ankake, sesame tofu in umami dashi with wasabi, and a colourful assembly of wild peach, fig with prosciutto, candied sweet potato, thick-rolled tamago, konnyaku raini and tamago sando. Charcoal-grilled fu skewers — three varieties, grilled tableside by guests themselves — are a returning favourite, delivering the aroma of live fire and a satisfying, pillowy bite.
Thirty-Five Teas, One Kyoto Afternoon
A free-flow selection of thirty-five beverages centres on Kyoto's finest: houjicha, wa-koucha and sencha lead a line-up chosen to pair with both sweets and savouries. Gaze over the deep green canopy of Higashiyama as the afternoon unfolds.
