Hello. Tempura & Sake Ginkiten. I am in charge of PR at Kyoto Porta branch.

It is now the season of winter and the city of Kyoto is pleasantly cold. People walking in the porta-potties are wearing thicker clothes, and it is the time of the year when people start to miss warm meals. Today, we would like to introduce our "signature tempura" that we hope you will enjoy during this cold season. Why don't you spend a warming moment with a bowl of freshly fried hot tempura?

1. unique frying technique to make the best use of carefully selected ingredients

In order to maximize the original flavor of the ingredients, we are very particular about the batter and frying temperature. We use carefully selected flour to achieve a crispy, light texture, and our skilled chefs deep-fry each ingredient at the optimum temperature. The harmony of the juicy flavor of the ingredients and the fragrant batter that spreads in your mouth is a taste that can only be found at a specialty restaurant. Please enjoy it with salt or our special tempura sauce at the most delicious moment of frying.

Tempura of Kyoto vegetables in season

Taking advantage of our location in Kyoto Porta, we actively incorporate fresh Kyoto vegetables procured from contract farmers in Kyoto. In the winter season, we serve tempura of seasonal bounty unique to this region, such as daikon radish, whose sweetness is enhanced by the cold weather, and fragrant kujo leeks. Our deep-frying method, which seals in the flavor of the vegetables without losing their freshness, has been well received by many of our customers. Please enjoy the seasonal delicacies of the four seasons in the form of tempura.

3. carefully selected sake to enhance the flavor of tempura

A good sake is an essential accompaniment to freshly fried tempura. We offer a wide selection of sake and wine that will not interfere with the delicate taste of tempura, but rather enhance its flavor. In particular, sake with a refreshing aftertaste will help to wash away the oil from the fried food and make the next bite even more delicious. Enjoy an elegant evening at Ginten with your favorite drink while watching the chefs at the counter. This is the Ginten way to enjoy your favorite drink while watching the craftsmen at the counter.
