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

How are you doing at Christmas, when the whole town is illuminated with lights? Although the cold winds are blowing through the season, we are serving heartwarming, freshly fried tempura. Today, we would like to introduce you to our special menu, which is perfect for this special day, and where the skills of our chefs shine through.

1. the magic of thin clothing to make the best use of carefully selected ingredients

The most distinctive feature of our tempura is the "thin batter" that maximizes the flavor of the ingredients. To keep the moisture of carefully selected seasonal seafood and fresh Kyoto vegetables in the batter, our skilled chefs carefully blend the ingredients. The rich sweetness and aroma of the ingredients spreading after the crispy, light texture is truly a taste of bliss. The light, weightless texture goes well with any alcoholic beverage, and we are confident that you will never tire of enjoying it until the very last bite.

(2) Craftsmen's attention to the texture of freshly fried food

Although conveniently located in Kyoto Porta, we focus on the live atmosphere over the counter. Our chefs serve freshly deep-fried tempura one by one in front of our customers. By serving the tempura hot and immediately after frying, you can directly feel the delicate texture of the batter and the perfect temperature of the ingredients inside. The tension and pleasant crackling sound of the artisan's hands and the mouthwatering aroma of the food create a space that is perfect for the special night of Christmas.

3. a luxurious marriage of seasonal flavors and fine sake

The owner carefully selects the best sake to enhance the taste of the tempura. Sake and wine from all over Japan are selected to complement, rather than detract from, the delicate flavors of tempura made with seasonal ingredients. The combination of chilled sake and Champagne with fatty seafood and root vegetable tempura with its concentrated sweetness is very popular. Please enjoy our signature combination with your loved ones.
