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

With the autumn weather deepening day by day, the trees along the streets around Kyoto Station have begun to change colors. The mornings and evenings are getting colder, but how are you all doing? Today, we would like to introduce you to our signature tempura, which makes the most of the autumn flavors, and which we hope you will enjoy in this season of deepening autumn.

1. special batter and frying techniques to make the most of seasonal ingredients

Our tempura is made with the utmost care in terms of batter thinness and frying time in order to bring out the natural flavor of the ingredients to the fullest. Our artisans carefully deep-fry each item one by one, making the outside crisp and light, while the inside is moist and chewy with the moisture of the seasonal ingredients locked in. Especially in autumn, we offer carefully selected ingredients such as sweet potatoes with rich sweetness and fragrant maitake mushrooms that allow you to feel the coming of the season with all five senses. We are proud of our restaurant Ginten's convenient location in Kyoto Porta, where you can casually enjoy authentic craftsmanship. We hope you will enjoy our freshly fried, piping hot dishes served with your choice of salt or tempura sauce.

(2) Pairing with a relaxing space that evokes the atmosphere of Kyoto

Although our restaurant is located in Porta, which is directly connected to Kyoto Station, once you step inside, you will find a calm Japanese atmosphere that will make you forget the hustle and bustle of the city. We have counter and table seating that is ideal for a dinner with friends, a concluding sightseeing tour of Kyoto, or a solo drink after work. The refined, modern Japanese interior is perfect for dining with loved ones. The time you spend chatting with your loved ones while admiring the seasonal ingredients that change with the seasons is exceptional. Our staff will help you color your precious moments with heartwarming hospitality that is uniquely Kyoto. We hope you will enjoy our seasonal tempura in a relaxing atmosphere.

3. sake will go down a treat! Selected sake that goes well with tempura

As the restaurant's name "Tempura and Sake" suggests, we offer a lineup of sake that has been thoroughly thought out to pair well with tempura. In particular, we offer a wide selection of sake from all over Japan, with a focus on Kyoto's locally brewed sake. The pairing of freshly fried crispy batter and the flavor of the ingredients spreading in the mouth, complemented by a crispy sake, is a truly blissful experience. In addition to sake, we also offer a wide selection of seasonal fruit wine and highballs, which can be enjoyed even by those who are not fond of alcoholic beverages. Why not spend a long autumn evening enjoying a blissful evening with our special tempura and the best sake?
