September 17, 2024 - Inspired by local traditions and fresh ingredients, join artful afternoon tea in Japan, alfresco dining in Rome, historical wine exploration in Turkey, beach picnics in Vietnam, and cocktail parties in Thailand.
Koyomi Afternoon Tea and Alchemy Bar Workshop in downtown Kyoto
Inspired by Japan’s 24 micro-seasons, or sekki, the Koyomi Afternoon Tea at Six Senses Kyoto offers a delicious menu that is refreshed every two weeks to incorporate everything seasonal and fresh. Head to Sekki Restaurant for a unique dining experience that aligns with our Eat With Six Senses philosophy, featuring delicious and nutritious treats that are gluten-free and mostly free of refined sugars.
Menu highlights include fermented foods that are known to support digestive health such as local amazake cream, crafted from rice and koji (malted rice), which replaces traditional clotted cream to leave you feeling lighter and fresher. Enjoy raisin sandwiches made with sakekasu, a fruity ingredient and by-product of sake production, as well as seasonal ingredients that reflect the current micro-season. Our chefs even infuse scones with miso to add a unique flavor and additional health benefits.
Those seeking a hands-on wellness experience should try the Koyomi Afternoon Tea — A Holistic Journey. This adds an Alchemy Bar workshop to craft your own all-natural herbal ball to use when you fancy a long, luxurious hot bath. The same ingredients used in our Afternoon Tea menu can be blended with handpicked herbs from our on-site garden to create a holistic and sweet-smelling sensory experience.
Twilight treats and panoramic views at NOTOS Rooftop in Rome
Newly launched earlier this month, Six Senses Rome is thrilled to introduce a new restaurant on NOTOS Rooftop, positioned at the summit of the hotel’s historic Palazzo. This alfresco epicurean experience envelopes you within an aromatic terrace garden, where a talented team of chefs have devised a refreshing evening menu featuring a series of divine sharing dishes as the sun melts over the glorious Roman cityscape.
Complementing the sociable BIVIUM Restaurant-Café-Bar located on the ground floor, our new dining destination is focused on a sharing plates concept that includes a mouthwatering selection of plant-based dishes and tantalizing fish platters. The evening starts with a fun and tasty welcome ritual to prepare your body for the dining experience ahead.
Following a skillful renovation and smart redesign, the new restaurant on NOTOS Rooftop is set in a dedicated area and opens daily from aperitivo time to midnight. Twinkling lamps add to the cozy and intimate feel while ambient beats, DJs, and live music sessions create a truly relaxed atmosphere as the setting sun bathes the terrace in a hypnotic golden glow.
Savor and share the vibrant flavors of Italy with a modern twist through dishes that highlight fresh, seasonal ingredients in a convivial communal atmosphere.
