I visited this restaurant near the hotel where I was staying and ordered the specialty egg tempura set meal (1100 yen). It came with egg on rice made with special eggs! The tempura included eggplant, half-cooked egg, pumpkin, shiitake mushrooms, and kakiage. The half-cooked egg tempura had a crispy coating and a creamy yolk inside, creating a delightful texture. The other tempura items were also crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, showing high quality. The red miso soup was hot and delicious. However, I felt that the soy sauce for the egg on rice didn't quite match the eggs. The restaurant had both counter and table seating, making it suitable for various occasions. I left feeling satisfied and full. Thank you for the meal!

Visited in July 2021. At the time of posting, the restaurant had a rating of 3.42 on Tabelog based on 28 reviews. I ordered the "Hiyajiru Teishoku" for 1,000 yen (tax included), which came with cold soup over rice, assorted tempura, and pickles. As August begins and the heat intensifies, I found myself wandering without a specific craving in mind. I stumbled upon a restaurant with a lunch menu featuring photos outside. Although it seemed like a typical tempura restaurant, they had a summer-appropriate dish called "Hiyajiru Teishoku," so I decided to give it a try. The restaurant had a counter with 5 seats and three tables for 4 people each. After placing my order, I waited a few minutes while sipping on cold tea. The tempura included shrimp, smelt fish, eggplant, pumpkin, shiitake mushrooms, and even green peppers (as a bonus?). The staff explained that I should first eat the tempura with rice, then get a free refill of rice to pour the cold soup over as a refreshing twist. The cold soup, a local dish from Miyazaki Prefecture called "Hiyajiru," is made by mixing fish paste with miso, sesame, and dashi broth, and served over rice with cucumbers, tofu, and condiments. It was similar to ochazuke, light and delicious for cooling down. It was a satisfying meal. Thank you.

I visited for lunch on a friend's recommendation. The regular customers seemed to be ordering the simmered dish set, but I unknowingly ordered the tempura set. It was very light and I finished it in no time. It was so good that I wanted to eat more even after finishing. The red miso soup and chawanmushi were comforting in taste. The only downside was that the rice seemed to have been cooked for a while or maybe mixed too much after cooking, as the grains were mushy. Would I go again? Probably.

When looking for a different restaurant with my wife, we stumbled upon this place and were drawn in by the menu displayed outside. Despite the old and cramped appearance from the outside, with an elderly man in the kitchen, we hesitated to enter at first. However, once we stepped inside, we were warmly greeted by everyone, making us feel at ease. The cozy atmosphere, with regular customers chatting happily with the staff, created a relaxed vibe that made us feel comfortable. We both ordered the tempura set meal that caught our eye. The set included five types of tempura (shrimp, smelt fish, shiitake mushroom, pumpkin, long green pepper, eggplant), red miso soup, steamed egg custard, sashimi, rice, and pickles, all for only 1100 yen. This price was incredibly reasonable for a restaurant in the heart of Kyoto. And everything was delicious! The tempura, sashimi, and steamed egg custard were all excellent. Plus, you could get free refills of rice, so we left feeling very satisfied. Families with young children, foreigners, locals - everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. It's a wonderful restaurant.

I went out for lunch. It was a freshly made hot and delicious set meal. It included various side dishes like burdock hot pot, tempura, eggplant, shishito peppers, shiitake mushroom tempura, tuna sashimi, and pickles. It was all very tasty. I was very satisfied, thank you for the meal ☺️

The trout sushi was 2 pieces for ¥350, so I decided to order it as a finale. I was surprised when they made it fresh for me, as I had assumed it was pre-made. It was a thoughtful gesture. The dashimaki tamago had a strong dashi flavor, which was perfect for the chilly rainy season. The tempura was also very delicious. Thank you for the feast.

My relatives raise chickens in a very natural way, so I'm not easily impressed by good eggs. However, for some reason, the tempura egg is just average. I think choosing the "egg tempura set meal" was not the best choice, as there is not much tempura. It was my first visit to a tempura restaurant. Proper tempura is just average in my opinion. The small, clean interior is not particularly stylish. The smell of food lingers on your clothes. I sat at the counter and watched the tempura being fried right in front of me, but it was served slightly cold.

I wanted to eat tempura in Kyoto, so I chose this restaurant near my accommodation. It was very affordable, delicious, and easy to order. I especially enjoyed the shirako, Kyoto vegetables, and sake. I will definitely stop by again someday.

■Visit Date: July 7, 2012■Items Received: Soba, Egg and Rice Set■MEMOVisited on July 7, 2012. The restaurant is located near the intersection of Muromachi and Takatsuji. I visited during lunchtime. From the lunch set menu, I chose the soba and egg set. It came with a side of pickles and seasoned rice. The egg dish was quite filling, and the soba noodles were delicious with a Kansai-style broth. The egg and rice combination was also tasty. During lunchtime, the place gets crowded with nearby office workers. I feel energized for the afternoon meetings ahead.■Bloghttps://ay-style.net/

A shop where regular customers and tourists can enjoy. Many people were ordering courses, but I ordered tempura a la carte. It may not be the best value for money, but I was able to enjoy a variety of seasonal items.

A few years ago, I went to a tempura restaurant. The tempura was delicious and in season. I want to go again.

The food at Tencho was delicious and the atmosphere of the restaurant was also great.

In mid-March, the cherry blossoms were in full bloom near my office. During lunchtime, I visited this tempura restaurant where I could enjoy the view of cherry blossoms. I sat at the counter seat and ordered the "Special Tempura Set with Specialty Eggs (1,080 yen)." It included tempura with creamy eggs, deep-fried small shrimp, and assorted vegetable tempura. I enjoyed the tempura with salt. The set also came with simmered beef and enoki mushrooms, pickles, red miso soup, and specialty eggs from Kamiizaki, Hyogo Prefecture. I finished the meal with egg over rice seasoned with dashi soy sauce. It was a luxurious tempura set that allowed me to savor the eggs. Thank you for the delicious meal. For more details, please visit my blog "Kokoroma no 'Ma'".

The restaurant has a small interior with 6 counter seats and 3 four-person tables in sunken kotatsu style. The menu includes classic tempura as well as seasonal tempura sashimi, making it suitable for izakaya-style dining. The complimentary starter is soy milk tofu, lightly sweet and good for settling the stomach. We ordered yellowtail sashimi, which was surprisingly fresh and delicious. We also got a mixed tempura platter to enjoy with sake, making it a versatile option. Next, we tried the steamed hotpot, opting for the softshell turtle version. The slightly sweet broth of the turtle was delightful, with tender meat inside resembling a mini turtle hotpot. Personally, I prefer the eel and matsutake mushroom steamed hotpot over the turtle one. For tempura, we had a variety including whitebait, sea urchin, enoki mushrooms, ginger, young corn, shrimp, and vegetables. The tempura batter was light, making it easy to enjoy each piece. The sea urchin tempura was particularly delicious with its sweet flavor. Surprisingly, I enjoyed the ginger and young corn tempura, which helped balance out the richness of the meal. We dipped the tempura in different sauces like tempura dipping sauce, Mongolian salt, Mongolian salt with seaweed, and shichimi pepper. The tempura rice ball we had as the finale was a standout with its flavorful seasoning and pepper topping. They also offer lunch sets for around 1,000 yen, so I would love to come back for lunch as well. For more detailed and delicious information, visit http://kuishinbou-k.com/tennpura-arima/

I had a rare job in Karasuma and was thinking about where to have lunch. I searched on Tabelog and discovered that there was a restaurant a little walk away. I walked happily imagining tempura. I thought it would be crowded around 12 o'clock, so I walked quickly and arrived. When I opened the door, it was quiet. I sat down and looked at the menu. I ordered the tempura set meal, a popular choice at a new restaurant. After a while, it arrived. A set of tempura, sashimi, chawanmushi, red miso soup, and more. It was quite a luxurious lineup. The tempura was crispy. Even when dipped in the tempura sauce, it remained crispy. I started with the shrimp tempura, which was excellent! The refined tempura sauce and shrimp made me eat a lot of rice. The sashimi also made the rice go down smoothly. Before I knew it, I had finished all the rice, but refills were free. I happily asked for a second helping. I quickly finished the second serving, which was half of the tempura and half of the sashimi. Then came the chawanmushi. It had a gentle and calming taste. I had a personal idea that popular restaurants in Kyoto might be expensive. But it was completely different. They recommended rice refills and even refilled my tea without me asking. When I finished paying and left the restaurant, they gave a pleasant farewell. When leaving the restaurant, I noticed that half of the customers were foreigners. I think this is a restaurant that is friendly to both foreigners and Japanese. It was delicious!
