Kyotamba Chestnut Afternoon Tea: Autumn in Every Bite!

You walk into Hotel The Mitsui Kyoto and the signature scene is clear: Kyotamba chestnut is the star of a course-style afternoon tea, with each sweet arriving as part of an autumn story 🌰 The courtyard view gives the spread a calm, polished frame—then the details on the plate pull you in!

You get a Mont Blanc that brings together kinmokusei, ripe plum and hojicha, so the chestnut meets fragrant, tangy and roasted partners instead of one flat note. Then comes a surprising turn: a savory sweet-potato-style creation made with Shishigatani pumpkin (・o・) This is autumn dressed up, not just autumn-colored.

Three original drinks are designed to match the food, turning your tea into a pairing route rather than a tea-only pause. Taste, sip, reset—each dish gets its own little spotlight, and the sequence keeps changing the mood of the table ✨

When you want to steer your own way, more than 20 TWG teas are available on a free-flow basis. Pick a familiar brew, chase a new aroma or let the chestnut lead you toward something roasted; the choice is yours (^_^ )

Bring a friend who studies every dessert before touching the fork, a parent who enjoys a refined hotel setting or anyone who hears “chestnut, plum and hojicha” and immediately wants the full route. Visitor impressions describe the hotel as elegant and relaxed, with attentive service, while the surrounding area is noted for cafés, galleries and workshops.

The listed seasonal window stretches for more than two months, but it records one scheduled occurrence, so don’t assume the experience repeats—check the booking details before you go. Admission and reservation conditions aren’t specified here, and transit or parking arrangements aren’t confirmed either; sort those out first, then settle in by the courtyard and let the afternoon unfold 🌿
