Sweetfish (ayu), with its refined aroma and delicate bitterness, is a quintessential part of summer in Kyoto. Grilled to crispy perfection over charcoal and served with fermented rice porridge and a liver sauce, this dish is a true seasonal delight. At Kyoto Wakuden, we serve an array of seasonal delicacies, from sweetfish and pike conger (hamo) to fresh summer vegetables from Kamigamo, perfect for welcoming the peak of summer.
