Had full course with the family! It’s the best tempura set we all had! Everyone enjoys the meal and will be very happy to visit again if we come back to Kyoto.

I will for sure never get tempura like this ever again. This restaurant is bold in every way and it just works! Who even thinks about using corn for tempura? I highly recommend this place, the chefs and staff is excellent and the food is so tasty.

I went here for dinner at 6 o clock but the dinner set ranged from 10000 yen.  When I told the lady that it is out of my budget, the lady offered me that I could order the lunch set (ranged from 2600 to 6000 yen).
I was so impressed that they would offer me such an option. The atmosphere here was very cozy and silent with 8 seats per bar table . Tempura were very delicious.
Staff knew some English and they were very friendly.
I will recommend to try this during lunch hour!!!

As a solo diner, I felt out of place among the groups and couples. The chef and wait staff made sure I felt comfortable, which I soon did. Lovely evening. So amazing to see the chef at work.
