A collaboration dinner between "Tempura Yasaka Endo" in Kyoto Gion, boasting a history of over 140 years, and Kimpton Shinjuku Tokyo will be held on Thursday, May 28. This special full course will merge the delicate tempura of "Tempura Yasaka Endo," which reflects the four seasons of Kyoto, with Kimpton's characteristic creative essence. Enjoy the highest quality ingredients, expertly selected by Hirokazu Endo of Endo Tempura Yasaka Endo, who continues to evolve while preserving the tradition of geisha houses, in the modern ambiance of Bowery on the 14th floor of Kimpton Shinjuku Tokyo, limited to 30 guests. The meal begins with beautiful Kyoto-style appetizers from Endo, followed by a bouillabaisse from Kimpton, luxuriously prepared with black abalone, lobster, and caviar. Guests can then savor seasonal tempura such as ayu (sweetfish), hamo (pike conger), and Endo's famous corn ("nanba"). For the main course, a Miyazaki wagyu sirloin smoked with straw will be served, and for the meal, Endo's special tenmusu (tempura rice ball) will be offered with Kyoto pickles and red miso soup. The dinner concludes with a splendid dessert featuring the branded mango "Taiyo no Tamago" (Egg of the Sun). This "experience" is a one-night-only event where the elegance of the ancient capital intersects with the energy of Tokyo. Enjoy flavors and moments you can only find here, together with your loved ones. **[Event Outline]** Date & Time: Thursday, May 28, 2026, 18:00 Door Open / 19:00 Start (scheduled to end at 21:30) Content: Kyoto Gion "Tempura Yasaka Endo" x Kimpton Shinjuku Tokyo One-Night-Only Premium Dinner Event Price: 50,000 JPY (tax and service charge included) Capacity: Limited to 30 guests Location: Kimpton Shinjuku Tokyo 14F Bowery Menu Details: https://www.kimptonshinjuku.com/jp/premier-dinner-event/ Reservations: https://www.tablecheck.com/shops/kimpton-shinjuku-tokyo-bar-86/reserve?menu_items=69e1afdaa0b0ca0284c6ec49 **About Tempura Yasaka Endo, Kyoto Gion** Tempura Yasaka Endo is a long-established tempura restaurant with over 140 years of history in Kyoto Gion.
