Kyoto, Japan｜Takakura Yamamoto

Found this gem of a restaurant and we’re so glad we went! It was a bit difficult to find at first (4th floor) but we were welcomed with great hospitality once we found it. We had a 14 course meal that was very well thought out and everything was delicious! Everyone working there was super nice and sociable. I would definitely recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for a nicer tempura meal and a social atmosphere.

The service is very good and the guy is very cute! Ordered the set meal recommended by the boss! Everything from appetizers to desserts! The tempura types include vegetables, fish, conger eel, and shrimp. They are exquisite and delicious. The most important thing is that the boss is really a lovely person!

A very friendly staff and great restaurant that cares about the little details. It’s a small restaurant that locals typically go to so the chef was surprised to see a foreigner, but he was very inviting and provided two prefixed menus in english that primarily focused on tempura items. The one I chose included assorted white fish, okra, yam, shrimp, and more. It was very delicious and by the end of my meal I was stuffed!
