A message from the Chef
I spent more than ten years honing my skills in Kyoto’s Gion and Miyagawacho districts. Drawing on that experience, I now offer tempura kappo, a style of dining that brings together freshly prepared tempura and traditional Kyoto cuisine.
What matters most to me is bringing out the natural flavor of each seasonal ingredient. I carefully prepare every dish according to the condition and character of each piece of seafood and vegetable.
Watching each dish come together across the counter is also part of the experience. Please relax and enjoy talking with us about the food and sake as you dine. We look forward to welcoming you and making your evening in Kyoto a memorable one.

Course Menu
Seasonal Kyoto Cuisine
The centerpiece of each course is tempura prepared with seafood and vegetables at their seasonal best. Ingredients such as shrimp, seasonal fish, and vegetables are selected with careful attention to their freshness and natural qualities.
Rather than allowing the batter or frying technique to overpower the ingredients, each piece is prepared to highlight its original aroma, sweetness, and texture. Sashimi, grilled dishes, and other Japanese specialties are incorporated throughout the course, creating a complete kappo dining experience that goes beyond tempura alone.
A selection of sake from breweries across Japan is also available to complement the cuisine. At the counter, guests can watch the chef transform each ingredient into a finished dish. Yamamoto’s approach invites guests to experience not only the flavors, but also the seasonality, aromas, sounds, and conversation with the chef.
