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

September—a month when the crisp, clear skies begin to carry the first hints of fall. On a night when you’re still basking in the excitement of a recent event in Kyoto, we invite you to join us for an after-party—the perfect place to gather with friends and share stories. Here, we’d like to introduce a unique way to spend the evening at our restaurant, featuring a special limited-time menu to make your celebration even more memorable.

A Limited-Time Feast Featuring Seasonal Delicacies Prepared by Master Chefs

At an after-party where the excitement of the event is still in the air, savoring seasonal ingredients unique to this time of year creates special memories. At our restaurant, we’re serving “Deep-Fried Freshly Slaughtered Pike Conger Eel with Kamo Eggplant,” which is at its absolute peak right now. The combination of the hamo’s delicate flesh and the Kamo eggplant, which has absorbed plenty of dashi broth, is sure to gently soothe your weary body. Additionally, serving refreshing delicacies like “Chicken Skin with Ponzu” and “Pickled Cucumber” as accompaniments to your drinks creates the perfect balance with the fried dishes. Each dish, meticulously prepared by our chefs, serves as the perfect supporting act to enliven your conversations with friends and add a touch of elegance to your evening. With a menu designed to highlight the natural flavors of our ingredients, we invite you to enjoy a meal that will satisfy both body and soul.

A wrap-up party where we toast with shochu sodas that each have their own unique character

Our signature shochu sodas are the perfect way to liven up the toast at your celebration. In particular, the “[Sweet Potato] Daiyame Soda” features a gorgeous, lychee-like aroma that blends perfectly with the refreshing fizz, creating an exquisite pairing with freshly fried tempura. Additionally, comparing the distinct characteristics of different brands—such as the barley shochu “[Barley] Mugiwara Soda” and “[Barley] Chilled Highball”—is a unique pleasure reserved for group gatherings. Furthermore, the ability to adjust the strength to your personal preference allows everyone to enjoy drinks at their own pace, enabling you to share a relaxed time together without interrupting the conversation. If you’re gathering with a large group, why not gather around the “High-Riki Plain Deka-Chu 1L” and enjoy a lively time together? By adding options like lemon, lime, or Umeya’s umeboshi, you can create your very own original drink.

The lingering afterglow of a special evening shared in a space directly connected to the station

The location—directly connected to Kyoto Station—is a major advantage, as it minimizes travel time after events and maximizes the time available for after-party celebrations. The interior features a bright, open space with a natural wood finish, and the open seating area allows groups to enjoy their meal in a relaxed atmosphere without worrying about those around them. After satisfying your appetite, why not linger a while and savor the warm, comforting afterglow with a “Large Grilled Rice Ball” or a “Daimyo Bowl” (clams in miso soup) to round off your meal? We also offer sweet treats for dessert, such as “Hokkaido Catalana” and “Matcha Warabi Mochi.” Spending a leisurely time here, sharing memories of your event and forgetting the hustle and bustle of the station, is the perfect way to cap off your celebration. We’ll do our utmost to ensure your special evening becomes an even more memorable one.
