World Brands Collection Hotels & Resorts Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo / Shimogyo-ku, Kyoto, President: Hiroshi Komoto) has launched a new culinary destination, 'Ryozen SEN Bettei,' inside its managed hotel, 'Banyan Tree Higashiyama Kyoto,' opening on March 26, 2026. This initiative aims to deepen the experience through 'Japanese cuisine'—one of Kyoto's proud cultural heritages—and enhance the hotel's value by inviting the Michelin one-star restaurant 'Japanese cuisine SEN' from Kiyomizu-Gojo, Kyoto.
'Japanese cuisine' is often said to be an art born from a profound dialogue between nature and humanity, such as the heart to appreciate the unique Japanese seasons. 'Kyoto' is the place where this has matured into a food culture over a long history. Head Chef Ken Sugisawa of 'Japanese cuisine SEN,' who sublimates Kyoto's climate and seasons into his dishes, meets the hotel brand 'Banyan Tree,' which respects local culture. We aim for the dining experience born from this combination to become a new reason to travel and visit the hotel, providing a unique experience that resonates deeply with our guests' hearts.
