I have been to the shops near Yasaka Shrine before, but this was my first time at the Arashiyama branch. The menu consists of bite-sized tempura skewers. You can choose from a selection of fixed skewers and seasonal items, and this is the only menu available, which adds to the excitement. The location is great, and if you can enjoy a luxurious time from lunch onwards within this budget, you will be very satisfied. Towards the end, it can get a bit greasy since it's tempura, but that's to be expected. Thank you for the delicious meal!

It is located about a 10-minute walk from the main street of Arashiyama. The surrounding area is quiet and along the river, making the counter seats recommended. You can choose your favorite types of skewers, which look luxurious. The tempura is delicious, but the sea bream broth is exceptional. The sea bream broth tea-soaked tempura was exquisite. The service is also good, and I would like to go again.

I went there for the first time. It's about a 10-15 minute walk from Arashiyama Station, and it's nice to walk along the river while heading there. The tempura set with 16 pieces was incredibly delicious and easy to eat! As a bonus, it went well with beer too!

I think it was my first time sightseeing in Arashiyama! It was super hot, but I enjoyed eating while watching the flowing Katsura River. I was so hungry that I wanted to choose all the fried foods, but I ended up eating them all anyway (laughs). The sea bream tea rice was really delicious, and the fried foods were light and easy to eat in a size that filled my stomach! I was very satisfied. I wish they had explained about deducting points, but I started eating hastily before they could explain, which was embarrassing as an adult (laughs). I wanted them to say something like "Please wait a moment for the explanation." There were many customers, and when I looked around, we were the only ones eating eagerly (laughs). Other than that, I was satisfied with the hospitality and I would like to visit again. Thank you very much!

I made a reservation and arrived at 1:00. Even though it was a weekday and we arrived slightly late, the restaurant was bustling with all seats filled after we entered. The menu consisted of a course where you could enjoy 16 different types of bite-sized tempura. 8 types were predetermined, while you could choose the remaining 8 types to create your own combination, which was really fun! There were vegetables, meat, and fish options, and even with 16 varieties, you don't get tired of eating them. Additionally, there was a flavorful clear soup with fish balls that served as a nice palate cleanser. It was a wonderful restaurant experience.

The tempura restaurant offers a set menu with 4 predetermined tempura items on each end, and you can choose 8 ingredients from the menu to be placed in the middle. The tempura is bite-sized but delicious, and I ended up feeling full after enjoying it with rice. For dessert, I believe we had a plum-flavored jelly. We arrived earlier than our reservation time and were promptly seated as soon as a table was ready. The staff were all very polite and provided detailed explanations about the dishes. The restaurant is a bit of a walk from the nearest station, but it's definitely worth a visit due to the excellent service.

It's a bit of a walk from the Togetsukyo Bridge, so the view from the window seat is not the best, but from the perspective of having a sunken kotatsu or a tatami room, the window seat is recommended. The tempura is all freshly fried and you can choose the ingredients, so satisfaction is high. Rice and miso soup are refillable, so anyone can eat to their heart's content.

On January 18th (Wednesday), I made a reservation and visited the restaurant with one other person. We reserved the "Donabe steamed dish and sixteen-color one-bite tempura set." This set includes sixteen one-bite tempura skewers, donabe steamed dish, rice, pickles, and plum wine jelly. The price is 3,300 yen (including tax). After being seated, the staff explained the ordering process, where we could choose our preferred drink. As it suddenly started drizzling outside and got cold, I asked for a warm tea. The tempura set includes eight fixed tempura skewers (tofu skin, pumpkin, shiitake mushroom, okra, onion, sweet potato, shishito pepper, eggplant) that cannot be changed. The remaining eight tempura skewers can be chosen from seasonal options. I cannot order more than two skewers of the same ingredient. I ordered the following seasonal tempura skewers: shiso leaf, lotus root, sea bream, salmon, shrimp, smelt fish, octopus, red snow crab, monkfish, broccoli, and Chinese yam. The tempura skewers were delicious with a crispy coating, served with honey tempura sauce, matcha salt, sea salt, and yuzu chili salt. The donabe steamed dish included Kyoto red chicken meatballs, Kyoto tofu, white leeks, and shimeji mushrooms, served with ponzu sauce. The flavor of the sea bream broth was exceptional, and it was recommended to pour it over rice topped with tempura for a tempura rice dish. For dessert, we were served homemade plum wine jelly, which was light and refreshing. After paying at the register, we were given a choice of one type of salt as a souvenir. All three choices were delicious, and I look forward to enjoying tempura at home. It was my first visit, but reserving this restaurant was the right choice. The "Donabe steamed dish and sixteen-color one-bite tempura set" was delicious. Thank you for the meal!

16-piece assorted tempura set meal for ¥3300 ⚠️ Cash only, reservation required. Choose from 8 fixed types and select 8 more from a total of 20 varieties for a total of 16 types! You can enjoy dipping in matcha salt, Kyoto's longevity salt, shichimi pepper salt, tempura dipping sauce, or grated daikon as you like!!! While salt is delicious, my favorite was dipping in tempura sauce♡ The sweet onion was incredibly delicious! The sliced squid was also tasty... Tempura with salt is already delicious just by its name, and all the tempura was delicious! The steamed dish made from sea bream broth includes Kyoto red chicken meatballs, tofu, leeks, and mushrooms, with ponzu sauce for dipping! To finish, pour it over rice to make tempura tea! It's amazing to eat it together with pickled mustard greens, kelp, and plum, and you can enjoy extra rice as well, so it's great to have tempura together and get a refill later for tempura tea◎ For dessert, there's plum wine jelly! It was so smooth and I finished it in an instant, with a rich and delicious flavor! It may not be a memorable taste from the trip, but you can have a meal that is Instagram-worthy and gives you a sense of traveling!! (Quite important) Also, you can get a gift of salt (choose from 3 types!) in a container that looks like stardust♪

I felt like checking out the restaurant on Instagram and made a reservation to visit. The reservation time is limited as the tables all rotate at the same time. However, I enjoyed a meal that exceeded my expectations. The presentation was beautiful and the tempura was light and bite-sized, making it easy to eat. The only downside was that the tables were small and close together, which made it a bit challenging for my companion who is a big guy (laughs). I would love to visit again in the future.

This is my second visit. Last time, I sat at a table, but this time I sat at the counter and enjoyed my meal while looking at the Katsura River (*´꒳`*). Out of the 16 pieces, you can choose 8 ingredients from 20 different options. The soy sauce tempura is very delicious and my favorite ♪ You can get refills of rice in the wooden rice container and the steamed broth‼︎ You can also make tempura tea rice with tempura and broth (*´-`). It's cute and delicious, so I highly recommend it ☆

It was a regular lunchtime, but the restaurant was fully booked. The tempura skewers come in a set of 8, with the option to choose the remaining 8 from around 20 varieties. It was a tough decision, but after choosing, we waited for a while and then were presented with a stunning plate of 16 skewers. It was almost overwhelming to think about finishing it all. There are 3 types of salt and tempura dipping sauce available. All of them were delicious. The steamed egg custard was also tasty, and the broth can be poured over rice to make a soup. We finished everything quickly and easily.

The selection of 8 out of 16 types without duplication enhances the anticipation of choosing and enjoying the menu. The visually striking colors of the dishes make you want to take photos before eating. The variety of flavors, such as choosing between salty or sweet dashi, adds to the enjoyment of the meal. The staff explaining how to eat the dishes was heartwarming. It was worth visiting on a hot day!

Located about a 10-minute walk from Arashiyama Station, "Maiko Meshi Arashiyama" offers the popular "16-color bite-sized tempura skewer set" that you often see on Instagram. I ordered the "16-color bite-sized tempura skewer set" for 2,860 yen (tax included). You can choose 8 fixed specialty vegetables and 8 of your own favorites for the tempura skewers, selecting from a total of 20 options to suit your mood at the time! The tempura skewers had a light and crispy batter that remained crunchy even after some time, allowing me to enjoy them without feeling too full. In addition to the tempura skewers, there is also a steamed dish made from sea bream broth, Kyoto red chicken meatballs, Kyoto tofu, white leeks, and shimeji mushrooms simmered slowly in sea bream broth. While delicious on its own, pouring the broth over rice with condiments made for another tasty experience! The refreshing homemade plum wine jelly served as a palate cleanser was also delightful. Please note that reservations are required in advance. Thank you for the meal!

I walked about 15 minutes from Arashiyama Station to this small shop. When you enter, there are tatami seating areas. The view along the river is from the counter seats. It's best to make a reservation early if you want a window seat. For the food, you can choose the ingredients for the skewers. You can enjoy them freshly fried and hot. The steamed dish in a pot was also delicious. We were able to try a variety of ingredients. It was very tasty.

Maiko Meshi☑︎ A set meal with 16 bite-sized tempura skewers. 8 skewers are fixed, and you can choose the remaining 8 yourself, which is nice. The presentation is cute and makes you want to take photos. They bring the rice in a wooden box and offer free refills of the dashi broth for steaming. They provide three types of condiments: matcha salt, Kotohama salt, and yuzu shichimi salt, as well as tempura dipping sauce, so you can enjoy changing the flavor to your liking. The bite-sized tempura was easy to eat, but it was more filling than I expected, and I left feeling satisfied. #MaikoMeshi #MaikoMeshiArashiyamaStore #Arashiyama #ArashiyamaGourmet #ArashiyamaLunch #BiteSizedTempura #Kyoto #KyotoGourmet #KyotoLunch #kyoto #kyotolunch #KansaiGourmet #flukeOfficialAmbassador

The dishes I enjoyed this time were from a restaurant that requires a complete reservation called ★ Sixteen Colors One-Bite Skewer Tempura Set. The skewer tempura includes 8 carefully selected vegetables and 20 other items to choose from, from which I selected 8 to create a set of 16 skewers. I chose several tempura items that are currently in season, such as red snapper, salmon, shrimp, octopus, salted chicken, soy sauce chicken, conger eel, and tilefish. The flavors were elegant and delicious, fitting for the location in Arashiyama, Kyoto. Additionally, there was a dish of Kyoto red chicken meatballs, Kyoto tofu, white leeks, and shimeji mushrooms steamed in red snapper broth, which was incredibly tasty. To finish, I enjoyed a dish called "Tencha," where tempura is placed on rice and topped with the steamed dish's broth. I was also delighted to have the option for extra rice, allowing me to savor the meal in various ways. Lastly, there was a delightful homemade plum wine jelly with a pleasant aroma of plum wine. The meal was truly satisfying. The restaurant also served Yuzu soda, which I found appealing and enjoyed. The Maiko Meshi Arashiyama branch offers a stunning view from the inside, allowing guests to enjoy exquisite skewer tempura while admiring the beauty of Arashiyama and the Katsura River in Kyoto. The Sixteen Colors One-Bite Skewer Tempura Set and Sixteen Colors One-Bite Skewer Tempura Set at Maiko Meshi Arashiyama branch were both incredibly delicious. Thank you for the wonderful meal. I would love to visit this restaurant again.

In between errands in Kyoto, we finally visited the popular restaurant "Maiko Han" for lunch, overlooking the Katsura River after a drive in Arashiyama. The restaurant is always crowded, but we were lucky to get a table in the tatami room. They offer a set menu with a selection of 8 predetermined tempura items like sweet potato, onion, pumpkin, and more, as well as 8 choices of seafood and seasonal vegetables. Each tempura skewer was beautifully presented and delicious. The staff explained how to enjoy the tempura with different dipping sauces and condiments. The location was fantastic, and I would love to visit again if I have the chance. The restaurant has three other locations besides Arashiyama. ❤️

I went there for the first time! In conclusion... delicious!! Each skewer is delicious, but the tencha-zuke where you put your favorite skewer on top of rice and pour dashi broth over it was exquisite! Next time, I want to choose different ingredients and enjoy it in a different way. If you haven't been there, you should really go.

The restaurant is located along the river, and the interior is quite spacious with a nice view from the counter seats. You can choose your own tempura, with a variety of different types available such as vegetables and fish. The dashi (broth) was delicious, and I left feeling full.
