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

Although it is spring according to the calendar, there is still a little cold wind blowing through the streets of Kyoto. How is everyone doing? Today, we would like to introduce our signature drink menu, which we hope you will enjoy along with our freshly fried crispy tempura both on such a chilly day and in the coming warm season.

1. a lineup of sake that enhances the flavor of tempura

We carefully select sake that maximizes the aroma of freshly fried tempura and the delicate flavor of the ingredients. We have a selection of excellent sake from all over Japan, ranging from dry sake with a sharp taste to junmai ginjo with a rich aroma. The moment you eat hot tempura with a glass of sake to refresh your palate is a moment of sheer bliss. We change the brands seasonally, so please try to find the best pairing with the seasonal ingredients of the time.

2. artisanal tempura and the perfect wine sour

In addition to sake, we also offer a wide variety of wines and refreshing sours that can be paired with tempura in unexpected ways. In particular, our wine selections focus on brands with minerality and moderate acidity that help to cleanse away the oil from fried foods. Our sours, which take advantage of the freshness of the fruit, are also very popular with our female customers. This is a must-try drink for a casual evening or a lively group meal.

3. enjoy selected brands only at Kyoto Porta

Located in the easily accessible Kyoto Porta, our restaurant offers a menu of locally brewed sake and limited-edition drinks unique to Kyoto to please both locals and tourists visiting Kyoto. The excellent sake brewed by Kyoto's sake breweries is a perfect match with our signature Kyoto vegetable tempura. Please enjoy a relaxing meal while experiencing the atmosphere of Kyoto with a special drink that can only be enjoyed here. We will help you color your special night.
