Check availability Official websiteThe Kyoto breakfast at Aman Kyoto represents a traditional Japanese diet emphasizing longevity and wellness through fermented foods and diverse nutrients. The meal includes pickles, miso soup, and small dishes presented in a wooden box—obanzai style—alongside a protein choice. Guests select either Kuroge Wagyu beef or grilled fish, served with clay pot rice or soy milk porridge made by Toyoukeya, a traditional producer. All components are sourced locally, reflecting Kyoto's agricultural and culinary heritage.
Each afternoon, hotel guests are invited to savour a bowl of premium matcha green tea accompanied by seasonal sweets in the Tea House. Upon request, guests can arrange a hands-on experience learning to prepare matcha themselves, connecting visitors directly to this centuries-old cultural practice central to Japanese aesthetics and mindfulness.
Nightly complimentary evening aperitifs are offered with a choice ranging from Champagne and wine to sparkling sake, accompanied by an array of artisanal snacks. These snacks are meticulously crafted by Tatsuya Ozawa using locally sourced ingredients, ensuring that every dining element at the resort reflects Kyoto's culinary traditions and seasonal offerings.
