KIHARU de Summer 2026

This summer at KIHARU Brasserie, we use yuba (tofu skin) from the long-established Kyoto yuba shop 'Kyo Yuba Mitaku', each sheet carefully hand-finished by skilled artisans, Kyoto Tamba高原 pork raised in rich nature, and Kyoto-grown chicken thighs, along with other local blessings and sustainable seafood. The dishes are accented with refreshing sauces like green pepper and citrus, creating a colorful summer lineup. Continuing from the spring menu, all seafood served during lunch is sustainable, allowing guests to enjoy delicious dishes regardless of the season throughout the year. Please savor the fresh, seasonal flavors at KIHARU that will make you forget the summer heat.

Main Dishes

We offer dishes that highlight Kyoto ingredients, such as 'Sea Bream Wrapped in Yuba with Americaine Essence Sauce', where minced sea bream is wrapped in yuba from the long-established Kyoto shop 'Kyo Yuba Mitaku' and baked moist, and 'Kyoto Tamba高原 Pork Two Ways, Foyot Style', allowing you to enjoy grilled and smoked preparations on one plate. The 'Grilled Yellowtail with Citrus Vinaigrette', featuring ASC-certified yellowtail with a sauce of summer vegetables and fruits, is a dish that transcends seasons, thanks to aquaculture.

The 'Peperoncino with Kyoto Chicken Thigh and Green Chili' pairs the vibrant green of green chili with large Kyoto chicken thighs, accented with a lemon marinade of mizuna and red onion. The 'Sustainable Seafood Soup Pasta' is a hearty dish packed with summer vegetables and seafood like shrimp, sea bream, and clams. These new items are sure to whet your appetite.

Dessert

For the seasonal dessert, we offer 'Pineapple Composition'. It layers smooth pineapple compote and lime jelly, topped with a sorbet featuring a novel combination of basil and pineapple. The sweet and sour, refreshing flavor that spreads in your mouth is complemented by the aroma of basil, offering a fresh taste experience. Coconut rocher and pineapple chips add textural accents, making this a delightful cool dessert for the hot season.
