A Japanese restaurant in Nishijin that inherits the passion of the family [Tenwaka]

Founded in 1963, Tenwaka is a Japanese restaurant loved by many people in Nishijin, a town of silk fabrics. 54 years of history came to an end in 2017 due to the aging of the owner, but in December 2021, the restaurant was revived for the first time in five years.

I decided to take over my grandfather's restaurant when I was three years old," said Riri Nishioka, who became the second-generation owner at the age of 30, just as his grandfather started Tenwaka. I was a child of my grandfather since I was little, and I used to come to the restaurant often. I thought it was cool to see my grandfather making people happy with his cooking, and I would be happy if I could do that kind of work myself.

An example of the 16,500 yen course (not including tax). The eight-sun dish served in a rimmed dish includes, clockwise: wild vegetables and red clams with vinegared miso paste, smoked salmon Temari-zushi sushi, yam, one-sided peas, simmered prawns, and bamboo shoots with sprout of mushrooms.

The course consists of eight dishes, including appetizers, soup, sashimi, seven kinds of tempura, vinegared dish, hot dish, rice, and dessert.

An example of the 16,500 yen course (not including tax). Tofu tempura, a specialty since my grandfather's generation. The thin, crispy, delicate batter is covered with tempura sauce, and the flavor spreads in your mouth.

The dishes that always appear in a course include not only the tofu tempura and other specialties loved by his grandfather, but also avocados and other ingredients that were not used by his predecessor, as well as suggestions for marriages with Chinese teas. Because the restaurant has a long history spun by the love of the family, it is a place to visit on special occasions such as celebrations and anniversaries with your loved ones.
