We serve you with kyo-kaiseki ? a traditional Kyoto style multi-course dinner. The dishes are prepared to bring out the natural flavors of fresh seasonal Kyoto vegetables. Each dish is brought to your room immediately after it is prepared ? warm dishes while they are warm and cold dishes while they are cold. At Sumiya, guests are invited to an after-dinner tea ceremony on every 7th and 17th at a tea room where a tea kettle is heated over a sunken hearth, waiting to serve the guests.
