Cook With an Award-Winning Chef at Four Seasons Hotel Kyoto

Published on : Monday, March 2, 2020

With kutsurogi – the Japanese art of relaxation – underpinning their design, the 57 contemporary one and two bedroom residences combine the comfort of a private pond garden home with the city’s finest luxury facilities and service benefits. Open kitchens and expansive living areas create Kyoto’s largest in-suite entertaining spaces: perfect for serving a meal prepared under the expert tutelage of one of Japan’s leading culinarians.

Chef Koga brings a decade of experience in Michelin-starred kitchens to his role in Kyoto, alongside accolades such as becoming the first Japanese Sous Chef of Le Cinq at Four Seasons Hotel George V, Paris under 3-star Michelin Chef Christian Le Squer.

“Having benefited from some of the best cookery teaching in both France and Japan, it’s a pleasure for me to share my knowledge with our guests,” comments Chef Koga. “My style combines meticulous French techniques with exceptional Japanese ingredients, so guests can expect an exciting culinary fusion with a unique twist.”

Two other Elevated Kyoto Experiences – only available to Residential Suite guests – include a three-course menu cooked in-suite by one of Chef Koga’s talented team, and Garden Island Dining: a rare chance to enjoy dishes prepared in the Hotel’s Brasserie kitchen while seated at a secluded island table in the Hotel’s 800-year-old Shakusui-en pond garden.

While the Elevated Kyoto Experiences are available at an extra fee, ten exclusive complimentary benefits are offered to all Residential Suite guests:

• Tailor-made planning with Guest Experience Ambassadors
• A welcome glass of Champagne at Fuju on arrival
• Unlimited pressing of clothing on day of arrival
• Daily-replenished in-suite “My Bar” (excl. alcoholic beverages)

In addition, all Residential Suite guests enjoy full access to the exemplary facilities of Four Seasons Hotel Kyoto, including the Zen-inspired fitness centre, Spa and indoor pool: a beautiful haven of wellness that is one of the most spacious and best-appointed in the city. The Hotel also has four excellent restaurants – plus 24-hour in-room dining – including Michelin-starred Sushi Wakon, and Brasserie, which showcases Chef Koga’s unique Japanese-French fusion fare.

Guests can also book traditional tea ceremonies in the Hotel’s tranquil Shakusui-tei Tea House or take a short stroll into Higashiyama: Kyoto’s “eastern mountain district,” where the ancient townscape preserves aesthetics of old – including Kado (the art of flower arrangement), Noh (drama), and Renga (the ancestor of modern haiku poetry) – alongside historic sites like the UNESCO temple of Kiyomizu-dera, and Kiyomizu-no-Butai, a classical entertainment venue for with roots in the Heian Era.
