Cuisine of Tempura Yoshikawa

Perfectly cooked tempura is what every guest dines on when they enter Tempura Yoshikawa. Best known for its tempura kaiseki cuisine, guests can understand more about the Japanese culture as they watch chefs cook their meals by boiling them in hot oil in Tempura Yoshikawa’s special cauldrons. One of the things that guests love about Tempura Yoshikawa is that the chefs take care to make sure the tempura is not weighed down or heavy with grease. Those that have sensitive stomachs can enjoy lightweight non-oily tempura that warms their bellies. Guests are encouraged to sample the chef’s tempura menu while waiting in the casual corner. Delve into the deep-fried morsels made with only the freshest of ingredients to impress and satisfy. Sushi is also offered at Tempura Yoshikawa, though delicacies such as succulent roasted duck can be eaten here as well.

Tempura Yoshikawa's Interior

The beautifully aged wooden building gives a gorgeous sense of tranquility as guests dine while viewing a sublime Japanese garden. What was once a tea room has now become the amazing restaurant that Tempura Yoshikawa is. The elegant futons and tearooms can make guests feel as if they are at home, relaxing in their living room as they eat some of the best tempura in Japan.

Seating Options

At Tempura Yoshikawa, guests can sit at one of the 12 counter seats and watch as the tempura chef labors over their meal during lunchtime.
