Executive Pastry Chef Matsuo Hiroyuki
With the skills and overflowing sensibilities cultivated over nearly 40 years of experience at luxury hotels in the Kansai region, Matsuo has developed a variety of original sweets. As a confectioner, he also creates displays and has won awards such as the Osaka Governor's Award and Grand Prize in decoration and decorative confectionery contests.

About Aman Kyoto
Aman Kyoto, which opened on November 1, 2019, is a resort nestled in a secluded forest garden at the foot of the Takamine Sanzan mountain range, stretching from Mount Hidari Daimonji in the north of Kyoto. The approximately 24,000-square-meter grounds include an arrival building, a living building (all-day dining), a restaurant building (Japanese cuisine), a spa building with natural hot springs, a guest building with 24 rooms, and two pavilions, all scattered throughout the forest garden. Aman Kyoto's modern, secluded architecture, combined with the dignified gardens that have stood the test of time, create a stay that immerses you in the profound charm of this ancient capital.
