Rokusei Soufflé & café corner SATEI

Known for its "te wo ke bento" (bento in a wooden bucket.), the long-established Kyoto cuisine restaurant "Rokusei" is located just west of Heian Shrine. In a setting that exudes the essence of Kyoto, they serve visually stunning Kyoto cuisine made with seasonal ingredients. Inside the restaurant, there is a Soufflé Café Corner, and the soufflés available during café time are one of the highlights.

The "te wo ke bento" originated when the second-generation owner, Mr. Yoshikazu Horiba, was deeply impressed by French soufflés he encountered in his later years. It is a truly authentic dish, with each soufflé carefully baked for 25 minutes after ordering. While it may seem different from traditional Kyoto cuisine, it aligns with the restaurant's philosophy of serving dishes made only in their own watchful kitchen.

The soufflé flavors include classic vanilla, matcha, chocolate, and fromage, as well as seasonal flavors such as cherry blossoms in spring, lemon in summer, Western pear in autumn, and yuzu in winter, with 2-3 varieties changing monthly. The delicate texture that melts gently in your mouth and the gentle flavors will fill your heart with a sense of happiness.
