Michelin-selected with Tempura,
Restaurant 'Ten-You'

Ten-You is a restaurant operated by Tawaraya, one of Kyoto's three royal hotels that has been carrying on Japanese traditions for hundreds of years, and provides meticulous service from the smallest details. Tawaraya Ryokan, founded in the early 18th century, has a history of about 300 years and still retains ancient traditions. It is the oldest inn in Kyoto and was officially registered as a National Tangible Cultural Property by the Japanese government in 1999.

Ten-You has been selected as a Michelin 1-star restaurant in Kyoto for several years and is one of the few Michelin-selected restaurants that specializes in tempura.


The essence of Tempura

Let me tell you about Ten-You's signature dish, Japanese tempura. Tempura is a dish made by coating fish or vegetables in egg batter and frying them, and it has been loved as a popular Japanese dish for over 300 years. Typical ingredients include shrimp, sashimi, eel, eggplant, pumpkin, and mushrooms. It is characterized by its crispy outside and soft inside.

The oil used for tempura is 100% pure cottonseed oil, which gives the tempura a very unique taste. At the bar table, you can see the chef skillfully frying fresh and delicious ingredients such as tempura, shrimp, mushrooms, and various fish in a frying pan, which will make your mouth water just by looking at it. It's not just a feast for the taste buds, but also a feast for the eyes.

After the tempura comes out, you can freely mix the seasonings on the table, such as tempura sauce, radish puree, lemon, and pepper, according to your taste. It is recommended to eat the tempura in the order of light-tasting vegetables or shrimp tempura first, and then the rich-tasting tempura last.
