Temari sushi and Japanese tea Soda

A popular Temari Sushi restaurant [Temari Sushi and Nihoncha Soden] in Karasuma Oike, Kyoto offers a tea ceremony course for your enjoyment.

On March 15, 2024 (Friday), the popular sushi restaurant Temari Sushi and Japanese Tea Soda (Nakagyo-ku, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture) will open its doors for the first time in four years for evening dining. The innovative tea course, which is based on the structure of a tea ceremony, begins with a cup of delicious gyokuro, carefully brewed at a low temperature, before the meal to enjoy the taste of the ingredients themselves, such as silver rice, tea leaves, and sashimi, which are the basis of the course of the day.

Soda Tea Ceremony Course

All dishes start at 13,860 yen (including tax) for a tea-ceremony course. San-no-zen - Factorization - is a new take on the rice, broth, vinegar, fish, horseradish, soy sauce, and condiments that make up sushi.

The menu consists of eight dishes, including a plate of sushi that has been deconstructed and reconstructed (san-no-zen), charcoal-grilled duck raised on tea leaves (肆-zen), and fresh abalone smoked over beech wood (柒-zen), which incorporates the culture of kodo's "monko" (incense) smoking method into smoked food, and many other dishes that surprise and exceed expectations.

Riku-no-zen (eight-sun) - at full height - features gorgeous handball sushi and seasonal side dishes, each carefully prepared one by one.

[Soda's signature dish, Temari Sushi, is made with the freshest fish of the season from the Kyoto Central Market and Maizuru Fishing Port, rice from Gihee VIII, and additive-free soy sauce from Sawai Soy Sauce. The rice is smaller in size to reduce sugar content, salt is kept to a minimum, and vinegar and orange flavors are used to enhance the taste. A wide variety of drinks using various teas are also on the menu.

After enjoying Koicha (thick tea) and sweets at the last of the eight dishes (sweet) - Karesansui, the course concludes with a tea made by re-brewing the gyokuro tea leaves used for the aperitif tea in hot water.

The tea ceremony course is full of hospitality throughout the course, with unfinished bowls completed by the guest's own hands, and tea cakes resembling a small Karesansui (dry landscape garden) boxed garden to be enjoyed at hand, representing the scene where a guest takes a break to look at the garden during the tea ceremony. This course is sure to please guests from other prefectures or overseas. Enjoy a special moment in a warm space illuminated by gentle lights.
