Enyu an Kobayashi opened when Chef Noriyuki Kobayashi, the former head chef of the renowned Tempura restaurant Ten You operated by one of Kyoto’s most famous ryokans Tawaraya Ryokan, went independant and opened his own business in Gion. News of this brand new gem of a restaurant spread and it quickly became a hard-to-book location with reservations pouring in from everywhere, especially after receiving its Michelin star.
Chef Kobayashi is passionate in his study of the cuisine of tempura and the the processes of frying, steaming, broiling and residual heat-cooking involved in bringing out the maximum umami from the ingredients.
It is often said that the 2 main players in the tempura world of Japan is Tempura Kondo in the east and Kobayashi in the west and Chef Kobayashi is undoubtedly a figure who represents Kyoto.
At Enyu an Kobayashi in Gion you will find a humble owner, friendly staff and a beautiful view of the garden from your seat at the counter where the most amazing tempura can be enjoyed in relaxation and bliss.
