As cherry blossoms begin to bloom and spring warmth gradually fills the air, The Westin Miyako Kyoto offers a seasonal buffet that captures the essence of spring in both taste and presentation. The "Kyoto's Spring Urara" buffet showcases seasonal ingredients and Kyoto-style dishes, bringing the colors and flavors of spring to diners.
The menu features spring-inspired appetizers such as "Whitebait and Asparagus Mimosa" and "Sakura Shrimp and Rapeseed Blossom Quiche." Kyoto-inspired specialties include "Bamboo Shoot Mochi with Fried Arare, Ginger and Sakura Shrimp Sauce" and "Kyoto Tofu and Sea Bream Wrapped in Cherry Leaves, Fried Dashimaki Style." Spring ingredients feature prominently in dishes like "Chicken and Bamboo Shoot Sautéed in Green Seaweed Butter," "Pork Steak with Saikyo Miso Sauce," and "Spring Vegetable Champuru." A special highlight is the "Sea Bream Ochazuke with First Dashi," which embodies the arrival of spring. Desserts include "Cherry and Strawberry Pudding," "Cherry Financier," and other spring-themed sweets.
Window-side seating plans are available with views of the Keage Incline, a famous cherry blossom viewing spot. Guests can enjoy their meal while admiring the blooming sakura, making it perfect for dining after hanami or as a stop during a spring stroll.
