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

It’s that time of year when the twilight sky signals the end of summer. As the daytime heat begins to subside and the first hints of fall start to appear, our restaurant is offering a limited-time menu carefully curated by our staff—a selection you can only enjoy right now. We’re pleased to introduce a special lineup that makes the most of the season’s freshest ingredients.

A limited-time menu featuring seasonal delicacies carefully selected by our chefs

As summer draws to a close, our restaurant is particularly highlighting our “First-Harvest Senryo Eggplant Sashimi.” This surprising dish—serving eggplant as sashimi—is characterized by the ingredient’s natural juiciness and a delicate texture that melts in your mouth. Our chefs carefully prepare the eggplant to bring out its natural sweetness. We also offer a selection of exquisite accompaniments to complement your drinks, such as “Wood Ear Mushroom Chili Oil” and “Pei-Taku” (green peppers and pickled daikon radish tossed with salted kelp), each providing a unique textural accent. These dishes, which highlight the unique qualities of each ingredient while serving as perfect accompaniments to enhance the flavor of your drinks, have been well-received by many of our guests. We invite you to enjoy this special, limited-time experience that lets you savor the changing seasons on your palate.

A Carefully Crafted Fried Food Experience Where You Can Enjoy Contrasting Textures

Our “Red Ginger Kakiage,” crafted with the pride of a tempura specialty restaurant, captivates with its vibrant appearance and refreshing spiciness that intensifies with each bite. By frying them in a water fryer, we ensure the batter remains light while locking in the umami of the ingredients. Also, when it comes to meat tempura, the juicy flavor of our “chicken thigh” is a must-try. Furthermore, for our vegetable tempura, we carefully select and serve seasonal vegetables such as “asparagus” and “pumpkin.” The crisp texture and the natural sweetness of the ingredients when you take a bite of our piping-hot, freshly fried tempura are the true delights unique to our restaurant. We invite you to fully savor the simple yet profound world of tempura to your heart’s content.

A moment to savor a special drink in a soothing atmosphere

Our drink menu is designed to enhance your dining experience. In particular, our “Tanaka Tansan” features the refreshing aroma of shiso, which pairs perfectly with freshly fried tempura and leaves your palate feeling refreshed. We also offer an extensive lineup of shochu-based drinks, such as the “《Barley》 Mugiwara Soda” and “《Sweet Potato》 Chameleon Soda,” allowing you to enjoy the unique character of each variety. The interior features a bright, open space with a natural wood finish. At the counter seats, you can relax and enjoy some quiet time while watching our staff prepare your meal. Taking advantage of our convenient location directly connected to the station, we invite you to visit us after work or during your sightseeing to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life and rejuvenate both body and mind.
