Best tempura restaurant!
I can’t remember the name of this restaurant. Just on the ground level near our hotel. Love all their tempura! Oh sooo love it!

“One of the few traditional sweet shops, Kagizen Yoshifusa is heralded by many as Kyoto’s best dessert shop.
First-timers to Kagizen must try its highly-rated Kuzukiri – translucent noodles made from arrowroot that is eaten with a sweet brown syrup.”
