Kyoto, Japan｜Gion Tempura Bansan

Excellent upscale tenpura with beautiful flavors, but the place is not too formal or overly expensive. Chef Raga and his assistant are fun and engaging. We could not have asked for a better experience!

A tempura restaurant with 6 counter seats in Gion Each item is fried right in front of you. They also show you the ingredients before frying. It's oily so I don't get heartburn. It's a nice hideaway.

We had a lunch course, starting with tail soup, then enjoying vegetable and seafood tempura, kakiage bowl, and dessert.It was delicious and filling.
