Kyoto has a lot to offer to rich tourists and affluent people but it also caters for all budgets.

We found that Tenshuu seems to be very popular especially at lunch with customers of all ages, Japanese or expats!

Quite a few famous people have left their signatures!

Only two chefs in the kitchen but they work non-stop!

Very popular with young ladies!

Actors from nearby Kabuki Theater count among their customers!

At lunch the restaurant serves serves a unique menu of four differentdonburi/bowls filled wih rice and topped with tempura!

Each customer is served his/her personal tray!

You can add your own seasoning with matcha powder, Japanese pepper of shichimi/seasoning mix!

My order: mixed tempura with conger eel and large prawn!

Served with miso soup and uji tea, plenty of volume!

Dragon’s order!

All conger eel!
