Japan: Kyoto: Where to Eat: Big Night Out: Tenyu

Tenyu

Indagare member Pamela Murdoch, who traveled to Kyoto, recommends:

“Go here for delicious tempura. The restaurant is on the second and third floors of a modern building with an art gallery on the ground floor and a winding staircase that goes up to the minimalist counter spaces on the second and third levels. Tenyu is best known for its tempura kaiseki menu (from Yen12,600), but lunchtime donburi dishes (savory stews served over rice) are far less expensive. They don’t take credit cards, so bring cash.”
