Kyoto Wazukasō

¥3,500 for lunch, booked three days ahead and never for fewer than four people.

At the table the tea is not only in the cup: the leaves arrive fried, then in the rice, then in the pudding and in the yōkan, the dense sweet made of bean paste, and to drink there is Japanese black tea. The menu changes with the season and with whatever comes in. They do not serve it to fewer than four people.

A public facility of the town of Wazuka, part lodging and part restaurant, built around the local tea production. The midday menu, the 和束ご膳, is made entirely with the town's tea, leaves included, and changes with the season.

ℹ️ Lunch only. Booking required three working days in advance, with a minimum of four people and up to 48. ⚠️ If you are travelling alone or as a couple you cannot order it: in Wazuka you eat at the Wazukacha Cafe. The menu costs ¥3,500 including tax and includes the Japanese black tea. Opening hours are not stated.
