Drawn by the breeze of the Katsura River — Savoring summer’s lingering charm with chilled soups
“As the saying goes, ‘heat and cold last only until the equinox,’ yet this year’s lingering summer heat feels especially intense.
From Riverside Café Muni, one can occasionally witness wild birds descending gracefully onto the surface of the Katsura River, resting their wings.
Perhaps they too are drawn to the cool serenity of the water’s edge.”

To accompany you during this quiet time, we offer chilled soups that will allow you to savor the lingering feeling of summer.
