From 1 July 2026, HOTEL THE MITSUI KYOTO presents a reimagined Summer Afternoon Tea, thoughtfully composed as a seasonal course in which each dish unfolds as part of a wider narrative. Centred on the theme of a Japanese summer festival, Pastry Chef Yuki Itagaki brings his distinctive, story-driven approach to life through a series of sweets, savouries and original beverages, each contributing to a singular and immersive experience.

Our martini style cocktail combined a Kyoto distilled dry gin rich in Japanese botanicals with an aged sake. This delicious concoction is presented in large glass that resembles a sakazuki sake cup and served with a garnish of seasona herbs.
