[Four Seasons Hotel Kyoto] The Brilliance of Baccarat Elegantly Colors Summer: "Summer Peach Crystal Afternoon Tea" Starts Monday, June 1

Four Seasons Hotel Kyoto (Location: Myoho-in Maekawa-cho, Higashiyama-ku, Kyoto; General Manager: Fanny Guiblay) presents the "Summer Peach Crystal Afternoon Tea" in collaboration with Baccarat, the crystal maison representing France. You can enjoy an elegant tea time exclusive to summer, woven by the fresh sweetness of peaches and a crystal stand adorned in Baccarat's iconic "red" color.

Summer Peach Crystal Afternoon Tea: From Monday, June 1

Inspired by the resonance between the brilliance of water flowing coolly through summer Kyoto, the sunlight reflecting on "Shakusuien," a pond garden boasting approximately 800 years of history, and the dazzling glow brought by Baccarat crystal, we gracefully color your summer moments.

■ A Crystal Stand Featuring Juicy Peaches and Luxurious Flavors like Truffle and Caviar

Featuring juicy peaches reaching their peak season in summer as the main attraction, five types of sweets combining slightly tart plums and rich-scented vanilla, along with four types of savory items will make an appearance. The savories interweave luxurious tastes such as truffle, caviar, and foie gras, creating an even more luxurious stand.

To look even more beautiful when catching the light emitted by the crystal, every detail of the menu, from shape and color to texture, has been carefully crafted. We deliver a lineup that showcases the chef's masterful skill and dedication.

Baccarat Crystal Stand

■ Fusion of French Pastry and Kyoto Ingredients, Expressed with Baccarat's Iconic "Red"

A 3-tier tea stand elegantly finished with the maison's signature color "red" as its theme.
By combining traditional pastries from the Lorraine region of France, the birthplace of Baccarat, with ingredients unique to Kyoto, a new gastronomic experience is created.
Paying close attention to color contrast and delicate textures, it is tailored to harmonize with the brilliance of the crystal, allowing you to experience its beauty with all five senses.

■ Chef's Highly Recommended Menu

Savory
Foie Gras & Peach Mousse
An item featuring foie gras mousse covered in an iconic red coating, layered on a vanilla sable shaped into an octagon inspired by chandelier parts. A peach compote is hidden inside the mousse. The slight bitterness of hojicha (roasted green tea) elegantly ties everything together. This "Foie Gras & Peach Mousse," highly recommended by Executive Sous Chef Harada, is a savory representative of this afternoon tea, elevating a classic combination to modern beauty. You can enjoy a luxurious taste layering elegance and luxury on a sable.

Sweets
Peach Vanilla White Mousse
A "small peach" layering the rich aroma of vanilla onto the ingredient theme "peach."
A gently sweet peach compote is wrapped in vanilla mousse scented with verbena, which has a refreshing lemon-like aroma, and coated with white chocolate. The fresh, fleshy texture unique to peaches, and the rich aromas of light verbena and vanilla spreading in the mouth create an exquisite harmony. This is Pastry Chef Nanbu's specialty.
