Gion Tempura Tenshu
This is the only tempura specialist on the Gion shopping street. You can enjoy tempura in a shop interior filled with the aura of Kyoto. Their leading product is their filling Anago Eel rice bowl, topped with three whole anago eels. They use fresh eels coated with fluffy, crisp tempura batter for a perfect texture. Their Kakiage rice bowl is topped with a massive kakiage fritter the size of a sandal is so popular it often sells out right after opening. The crisp texture plentiful little shrimp and vegetables, and reasonable price, are its claims to fame.
