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

As we welcome the new year, the dignified winter air is flowing through the city of Kyoto. It is the time of year when the cold makes your body shrink a little, but that is precisely the time to warm your body and soul with freshly fried tempura and a perfect drink to accompany it. Today, we would like to introduce our owner's carefully selected beverages that go perfectly with our freshly fried tempura.

1. local sake from Kyoto to complement tempura

Taking advantage of our location in Kyoto, we offer a carefully selected selection of local sake, mainly from Fushimi. Tempura is all about the crispy texture of the batter and the original flavor of the ingredients. We have prepared a lineup of crispy, dry sake that will not detract from the delicate flavor of the tempura, but rather enhance it. Tuck into freshly fried tempura and enjoy a glass of chilled or hot sake to refresh your palate. We hope you will experience such a luxurious marriage unique to Kyoto at our restaurant. The harmony of our artisanal tempura and local sake is exceptional.

(2) Delicate taste that does not interfere with the flavor of the ingredients

All of the drinks we offer have been selected to best "complement" the tempura. For example, we offer a wide variety of drinks, such as a carbonated highball or a fragrant tea drink, that will help the oil from the tempura to be washed away. Our goal is to provide drinks that are not too overpowering, but have a definite presence. That is our commitment. Our staff will be happy to suggest the perfect drink for your mood and tempura items, so please do not hesitate to ask.

3. enjoy limited-edition seasonal drinks

In addition to our regular drinks, we also offer a seasonal menu that lets you experience the season. During the winter season, we sometimes include fruit wine that warms the body from the inside out, or special brands that can only be enjoyed during the current season. Conveniently located in Kyoto Porta, we hope to offer you a drink that will allow you to feel the "Kyoto of today" at any time, whether you are taking a break from sightseeing or dining after work. We hope you will enjoy our seasonal drinks, which change from time to time, along with our freshly fried tempura.
