[Summer 2026] New 'Summer Five-Bowl Tasting Set' at Itsuki Chaya Arashiyama Main Store: Experience the Summer of Kyoto with All Five Senses!

The 'Summer Five-Bowl Tasting Set' by Itsuki Chaya Arashiyama Main Store is a special summer-exclusive menu. This set features seasonal delicacies such as conger eel (hamo), Japanese whiting (kisu), and simmered conger eel, paired with fresh summer vegetables, condensing the cooling culture of Kyoto into a single meal. The 'Five-Bowl Tasting Set' is a seasonal specialty where guests can enjoy five different bowls at once, each crafted with unique techniques and flavors by the head chef. We have arranged traditional Kyoto food culture with a modern sensibility, resulting in a visually stunning presentation. The themes of 'abundant harvest' and 'good fortune' are woven into the summer menu, with ingredients chosen to wish guests prosperity, longevity, and good relationships. This summer, the theme is 'coolness,' featuring chilled tomato dashi, cold broth, and citrus-scented sauces. Along with the atmosphere of the Arashiyama river garden, guests can experience the summer of Kyoto through sight, smell, texture, and taste. Itsuki Chaya Arashiyama is an 'experiential' restaurant perfect for dining with family, friends, or partners. We have designed our menu to provide not just a meal, but a memorable time that lingers in the heart. Our signature 'Golden Egg Bowl' features fluffy, soft-scrambled eggs with a rich dashi aroma. The 'Chilled Conger Eel Tea Rice' allows guests to finish the dish themselves by pouring cold broth over the eel, creating a refreshing summer bowl. For the hot pot selection, we offer the 'Conger Eel and Summer Vegetable Cooling Tomato Pot' with a refreshing acidity, or the 'Wagyu and Summer Vegetable Summer Evening Sukiyaki,' which captures the atmosphere of a summer festival night.
