Capella Kyoto's 'The Patisserie', a Pastry Boutique Reflecting the Seasons of Miyagawa-cho

Capella Kyoto (Location: Higashiyama-ku, Kyoto; General Manager: John Blanco) will offer special sweets and bakery items for a limited time at the in-house pastry boutique, The Patisserie, to celebrate the arrival of spring and the holding of "Kyo Odori," which brings vibrant colors to Miyagawa-cho. Set against the backdrop of its location adjacent to the Miyagawa-cho Kaburenjo theater, we will deliver a pastry experience that combines visual beauty with the joy of tasting, inspired by the spring tradition of "Kyo Odori." Please enjoy the colors of spring along with the gorgeous displays inside The Patisserie.

## ■ The Patisserie: A Pastry Boutique Nestled in Miyagawa-cho

Capella Kyoto is located in Miyagawa-cho, Kyoto, a historic geiko and maiko district where traditional culture still breathes, and is adjacent to the Miyagawa-cho Kaburenjo theater, where "Kyo Odori" is performed in the spring. With a desire to value connections with the local community and respect the culture, traditions, and history that live on in the land, the in-house pastry boutique The Patisserie offers delicate sweets and bakery items inspired by the four seasons and culture of Kyoto.

This boutique features the "SingleThread Entremets" cake collection, specially created for Capella Kyoto by the three-star Michelin restaurant SingleThread based in Sonoma, California. The cakes, created by the SoNoMa by SingleThread team, are meticulously crafted not only for their taste but also for their visual beauty. A distinctive feature is the presentation, where the cakes themselves are displayed like works of art in a space decorated like a flower garden with seasonal blossoms.

The cakes, co-supervised by SingleThread pastry chef Emma Horowitz and Mio Morita, formerly of the three-star Michelin restaurant L'Effervescence, fuse sensibilities and techniques cultivated domestically and internationally, elevating them into expressions befitting the locale of Kyoto.

Another attraction is the bakery, baked fresh every morning in-house. While valuing high-quality ingredients and a sense of the seasons, we offer a rich lineup ranging from items you can casually enjoy daily, such as croissants and pain au chocolat, to products resembling art pieces that reflect seasonal scenes.

Cakes can be enjoyed eat-in, and bakery items are also available for take-out.

Additionally, this boutique offers items perfectly suited as souvenirs or gifts.
Along with tea leaves from the Capella Kyoto original blend by "TEA SHOP JIROBE," carefully finished to balance aroma and lingering flavor using a base of teas from Doors and Ceylon, we also carry assortments of Capella original chocolates and macarons.
