Hello. I am the manager of Ginkiten, Tempura & Sake, Kyoto Porta. I am the manager of Kyoto Porta branch.

How is everyone doing in this freezing cold weather? In this cold season, we hope you can take a breather with freshly fried hot tempura and a delicious sake that warms your body from the inside out. Our restaurant, directly connected to Kyoto Station, is looking forward to serving you with our signature tempura featuring the tastes of winter.

Craftsmanship shines through! The Secret of Crispy Batter

The lifeblood of Ginten's tempura is the texture of the batter, which is carefully fried in front of your eyes by our chefs. Our proprietary flour and oil temperature control system ensures that the batter is incredibly light and crispy, while retaining the flavor of the ingredients. The exquisite frying process, which does not make the food feel heavy, is our specialty to ensure that every last bite is a delightful experience. The sound and aroma of freshly fried food spreading over the counter is truly a moment of bliss. We hope you will enjoy our freshly prepared and best dish.

Taste the winter in Kyoto! Our Commitment to Seasonal Ingredients

Our restaurant is strongly committed to the freshness and provenance of our ingredients so that our guests can experience the seasonality of each season. At this time of the year, we offer a menu that uses plenty of fatty winter seafood and sweetened cold vegetables. Tempura made with Kyoto vegetables is a particular delicacy that allows diners to fully appreciate the rich, natural flavors of the ingredients. How are fresh ingredients sent directly from the market sublimated by the hands of our chefs? We value the seasonality of the season and strive to create a menu that allows you to discover something new each time you visit.

3. complement the tempura! Selected Sake Lineup

The sake that goes best with tempura is sake. We carefully select sake brands from all over Japan that do not detract from the delicate flavors of tempura, but rather complement each other's deliciousness. We offer not only Kyoto's locally brewed sake, but also seasonal limited edition sake, and a wide range of sake from crisp and dry to mellow and umami, to suit your taste. Enjoy hot tempura with a glass of chilled sake to refresh your palate, or relax with a glass of lukewarm sake. Enjoy the sake pairing to your heart's content.
