Discover the Seasonal Delights of Fauchon Hotel Kyoto

Fauchon Hotel Kyoto, a gourmet establishment that bridges French culinary excellence with the cultural essence of Kyoto, is set to debut its autumn afternoon tea on September 24, 2025. This unique offering will be held at the "Salon de Thé Fauchon" within the hotel, renowned for its breathtaking views of Higashiyama. The theme for this season centers around apples, presented in three distinct styles that change with the months, captivating guests with playful culinary creativity.

A Taste of Autumn: Themed Afternoon Tea

Starting from September 24, the afternoon tea will boast an apple theme evolving through the months. The initial phase, carried out in conjunction with the traditional Japanese festival of Tsukimi (moon viewing), runs from September 24 to October 6. Here, guests can expect whimsical treats like the "Moon Rabbit Cassis Mousse" and a delightful "Sweet Potato and Apple Full Moon Quiche." Don't miss the must-try apple tart served with vanilla ice cream.

Following the Tsukimi version, the Halloween variation will span from October 7 to 31, bringing a festive twist to the menu. Finally, from November 1 to 20, the classical version will celebrate traditional French desserts, featuring warm Mont Blanc and apple-shaped bonbons that reflect the finesse of Fauchon's culinary heritage.
