TEMPURA ENDO Shinsaibashi Daimaru

Founded 1885

The Endo noren curtain has been hanging in Kyoto’s historical and elegant Gion district for more than 130 years.

While inheriting the traditions and style of a teahouse, we have also cultivated a new form of sensibility, continuing to evolve as a restaurant with dedication and attention to detail.

Endo is on Yasaka-dori, a quiet street in a secluded corner of Gion ...
It seems to nestle within the grounds of Kennin-ji Temple, the origin of tea culture in Japan, watched over by its five-storied pagoda.

At our restaurants in Gion, Yasaka, and Okazaki, all timeless Higashiyama villas, we welcome our customers with new dishes unique to Endo, maintaining the original hospitality of a teahouse while adding modern touches to long-established traditions, based on the discernment and skills of our master chefs.

Old and New Our dedication to tempura and Kyoto cuisine

Our new menu combines the sensibility of Osaka Endo with the commitment to Kyoto-style kaiseki
that only a long-established restaurant in Gion, Kyoto can offer.
Enjoy the splendor of Osaka’s Shinsaibashi combined with the attention to detail of a long-established restaurant.

We meticulously prepare fresh Kyoto vegetables, seafood, and other ingredients, mainly from Kyoto, bringing together only the very best to create special Kyoto-style tempura.
Frying is done very skillfully, always keeping an eye on how quickly each customer is eating.
Enjoy our famous Kyoto-style tempura together with the colors of the four seasons in Kyoto.

You can choose to sit at the tempura counter,
the private room counter, or a large or small table, depending on your needs and preference.
Just relax and enjoy the moment with your fellow diners.

Counter seats: The Japanese-style tempura counter and private room counter offer comfortable seats where you can watch the split-second skills of our master chefs preparing fresh seasonal ingredients in front of your eyes.
Table seats and private rooms: Enjoy a more leisurely dinner at an elegant sukiya traditional tea room-inspired table surrounded by hanging scrolls and Kyoto furnishings.

Tempura Kaiseki: Our famous Kyoto-style tempura mainly consists of seafood such as sea urchin rolled in nori and live tiger prawns, as well as Kyoto vegetables, wild plants, and root vegetables.
The meal starts with a seasonal appetizer, followed by sashimi, a special salad, and a choice of rice dish - small tempura rice bowl or small tempura chazuke.
