Tempura — Kyoto

Tempura Matsu

A family-run restaurant in western Kyoto, near Matsuo Taisha shrine and a few minutes from Arashiyama, known for an omakase that goes well beyond tempura: seasonal produce, creative presentations and a warm welcome. A connoisseur's address, away from the bustle of the center.

A small family-run house with no large group room advertised: seating arrangements are confirmed with the restaurant at booking.

The menu

A kaiseki-style omakase where tempura is only one of the courses: sashimi, simmered dishes, fried items, hot pot, rice or noodles depending on the season, with produce from across Japan and inventive presentation.
