Sometimes there are restaurants you want to keep a secret all to yourself, and this is definitely one of them.

Located by the river in the famous Arashiyama region of Kyoto is Tempura Matsu, a beautiful, traditional building where some of the finest dishes in Japan are served. One of the most stunning items on the menu are the noodle dishes, which vary from season to season, and diners are so impressed with their meals they’ve been sharing photos of their amazing dishes online.

The inaniwa udon, made from mugwort and served with wasabi and a raw egg yolk, are a hit with diners, both for their delicious flavour and their visually stunning bowls.

And a delicate crab rice, which looks beautiful enough on its own, yet takes on an incandescent beauty once cooked in front of diners in a small pot.
