Japan’s First Three-Star Thai SELECT Restaurant

Dusit Thani Kyoto, the premier Thai luxury hotel brand, is proud to announce that its signature dining venue, Ayatana, has been awarded the highest distinction of Three-Star Thai SELECT by the Ministry of Commerce, the Royal Thai Government, to guarantee authentic Thai restaurants. Ayatana is the first restaurant in Japan to receive this prestigious three-star recognition.

Ayatana offers a refined dining experience that seamlessly blends the philosophy and culinary traditions of Thai cuisine with the finest seasonal ingredients of the Kansai region. Each course is thoughtfully crafted by Thai chefs, harmonising authentic aromas, techniques, and creativity unique to Thailand, delivering a culinary journey that honours tradition while embracing a global perspective.

Culinary Highlights

Ayatana’s signature menu is a carefully curated collection celebrating the rich culinary traditions of Thailand’s four regions. Each dish, meticulously crafted for Ayatana, showcases the authentic flavours of Thai cuisine with elegance and refinement.

In addition, the restaurant uses freshly pressed coconut milk daily. This freshly extracted coconut milk lends a creamy texture and aromatic depth to every dish, creating a uniquely rich and memorable taste. Experience the subtle yet profound flavours of authentic Thai cuisine, exclusively at Ayatana.

Chef’s Highlights

At the heart of Ayatana is a team of Thai chefs with extensive international experience. Having honed their craft around the world, they bring exceptional skill, deep knowledge, and cultural authenticity to every dish. By carefully selecting seasonal ingredients and maximizing their potential, they create flavours that are rich, layered, and memorable.

Each dish embodies the delicate balance of sweet, spicy, sour, and salty, the aromatic harmony of herbs and spices, and the distinctive culinary traditions of Thailand’s regions. This thoughtful approach delivers a refined dining experience that honours Thai heritage while embracing a global perspective.

Thai Afternoon Tea: A Heritage of Authenticity

A new afternoon tea, capturing the essence of Ayatana, has been unveiled. Elegantly presented on bespoke Benjarong porcelain—a traditional Thai craft—the selection of sweet and savoury treats offers a distinctive tea experience where tradition meets contemporary elegance. True to the name “Ayatana,” meaning “six senses” in Sanskrit, the exquisite tableware, carefully brewed tea aromas, and delicate flavours engage the senses and leave a lasting impression.

Each seasonal menu features savoury and sweet items inspired by traditional Thai dishes, reimagined with a modern twist and highlighting the finest seasonal ingredients. With only six seats available per day in this exclusive setting, guests can enjoy a refined moment that embodies Ayatana’s unique aesthetic and sophisticated playfulness.

Signature Cocktails and Mocktails

Ayatana’s beverage selection offers a refined Asian twist, where the vibrant character of Thai ingredients meets the subtlety of Japan’s local produce. Unconventional elements—often found in the kitchen rather than behind the bar—are thoughtfully reimagined to create cocktails and mocktails that echo the originality of our cuisine. Each drink is a harmonious extension of the dining experience, crafted to complement and elevate the unique flavours of every dish.
