Tempura kaiseki in the style of this restaurant is a delight to the eyes and a cascade of changing flavours. The tsukuri and soup are a joy, and the interspersal of local vegetables with the tempura dishes is a true Kyoto touch. The tenbara (mixed tempura on rice) at the end is one-of-a-kind. As befits the restaurant’s name, which means a place where people open their hearts to each other, the care and attention of the couple in charge really comes across.
