A well-known fusion tempura restaurant providing a distinctive dining experience in Kyoto.
MK Guide Recommends
Tempura Matsu is a long-running tempura restaurant in Kyoto’s Arashiyama area, established in 1973 and now led by chef Toshio Matsuno. The restaurant follows a structured course style that blends classical tempura technique with elements of kaiseki, shaped by seasonal ingredients and careful pacing. Dishes are served on Oribe ware ceramics, adding a distinct visual rhythm to the meal without distracting from temperature and texture. With a small counter and private rooms, Tempura Matsu offers an intimate setting suited to diners seeking a composed, craft-focused experience rather than a theatrical presentation.
