Located near the Heian Shrine, this renowned tempura restaurant stands beside the Okazaki Canal, which is rich in the atmosphere of Kyoto. The main store is in Yasaka, while the "Okazaki Branch" opened in 2016. The restaurant luxuriously utilizes seasonal ingredients unique to Kyoto, ranging from Kyoto vegetables and wild mountain plants to fresh seafood directly delivered from the Seto Inland Sea and Wakasa Bay, as well as wild fish from pure streams. The tempura, fried in premium cottonseed oil, is crispy with a light and delicate texture. Both lunch and dinner are served as set menus, and diners can choose to add individual dishes or recommended items to their set. Seating options include traditional Japanese-style tables, a "tempura counter" where guests can watch the chef's exquisite skills, a highly sought-after "sakura viewing counter" during cherry blossom season, and "group tempura" for larger gatherings, allowing for selection based on the number of guests or the occasion.
