Tempura Endo Okazaki Residence

Located near Heian Jingu Shrine, in the Okazaki area along the Biwako Canal, this tempura restaurant is a slice of Kyoto charm. A popular establishment with its main shop in Yasaka, the "Okazaki Residence" branch opened in 2016.

Featuring Kyoto vegetables, wild plants, fresh seafood directly from the Seto Inland Sea and Wakasa Bay, and river fish raised in clean streams, the restaurant lavishly uses seasonal ingredients unique to Kyoto. The tempura, lightly fried in the finest cottonseed oil, is exquisitely light with a thin batter. Both lunch and dinner offer set courses, with favorites and recommended items available à la carte.

Seating options are diverse: Japanese-style table seats, a chef’s counter to witness the art of tempura, a cherry blossom viewing counter popular during sakura season, and spacious banquet seats for large groups. It’s a versatile dining spot for any number of guests or occasions.
