Hotel Okura Kyoto will offer a special menu of dishes and desserts inspired by the entrepreneur Eiichi Shibusawa, who was involved in the establishment of the hotel, as the first part of this initiative from May 1 to June 30.
At the Top Lounge Orizonte (buffet), dishes inspired by Shibusawa’s birthplace Saitama Prefecture, such as “ebishi,” “jelly fry,” and “chilled udon soup” will be available, along with desserts made with oatmeal, one of his favorite foods. Dishes themed around the era in which he lived, including “omelet rice” and “beef hotpot,” will also be served. Prices start from 5,500 yen for adults, 2,800 yen for elementary school students, and 1,400 yen for preschoolers (ages 4 and up), including tax and service charge. The service will be available in two parts, from 11:30 am to 1:00 pm and from 1:30 pm to 3:00 pm.
At Café Leuco Court, a dessert menu inspired by the “Tomioka Silk Mill,” which Shibusawa was involved in establishing, will feature a motif of silk threads. A “Negi Béchamel” combining Fukiya onions and tomato spaghetti will also be offered. Prices are 2,400 yen for the “Tsumugi ~Silk~” and 3,500 yen for the “Negi Béchamel,” including tax and service charge. The service will be available from 11:30 am to 8:00 pm. New menus are planned to continue from July onwards.
