At Capella Kyoto, YOI is more than a hotel lounge: an eight-seat cocktail counter anchors a contemporary Japanese bar-dining experience. The drinks programme takes familiar cocktail structures and shifts them through Japanese spirits, seasonal produce and quietly inventive technique. The room draws on the building's former life as a school, with nostalgic details and 1980s city pop setting a distinctly Kyoto pace for an evening that can move between a finely made drink and food from the chef's counter.
