[Kyoto Higashiyama] Indulge in the Famous Tenshinhan at "Marushin Hanten," a Beloved Local Chinese Restaurant!

 Hello! This is the Baomu Project.

Today, we visited Marushin Hanten, a long-established Chinese restaurant located in Kyoto’s Higashiyama Ward.

Loved by locals for years, this spot is especially known as a "late-night savior" thanks to its extended hours. I’ll be sharing a report on their famous Tenshinhan (crab omelet rice), Twice-Cooked Pork, gyoza, and ramen—all full of irresistible flavor!








◆ Restaurant Info

  • Name: Marushin Hanten

  • Address: 431-3 Nanseikaiko-cho, Higashiyama-ku, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture

  • Access: Just a short walk from Higashiyama Station on the Tozai subway line

  • Hours: 11:00 AM – 6:00 AM (Subject to change)


◆ Specialty: Meltingly Soft Tenshinhan

The star of the show at Marushin Hanten is undoubtedly their Tenshinhan—a fluffy omelet draped in a generous helping of sweet-and-sour sauce over rice.

As you cut into the omelet, warm and tender rice is revealed underneath. The sauce is perfectly balanced and enhances the dish beautifully. It's so light yet flavorful, you’ll finish the whole bowl before you know it. No wonder it’s their #1 bestseller!

◆ Flavorful Twice-Cooked Pork That Pairs Perfectly with Rice

Another popular dish is their Twice-Cooked Pork (Hoikoro).

The rich miso sauce clings deliciously to the pork, paired with crisp cabbage for a dish that demands a side of steamed rice. While it’s a staple of Chinese cuisine, Marushin Hanten’s version stands out thanks to expert preparation and deep umami.

◆ Crispy and Juicy Gyoza

You can’t skip the gyoza!

Perfectly seared with a crispy bottom and chewy top, each dumpling bursts with savory juices when bitten into. They’re just the right size for a side dish, and dipping them in a vinegar-heavy sauce gives a refreshingly tangy twist.

◆ Nostalgic and Comforting Ramen

Their ramen is another must-try.

Clear, soy sauce-based broth filled with traditional toppings like sliced pork, bean sprouts, and green onions makes for a heartwarming bowl of noodles. It’s simple, yet masterfully executed—ideal as a lunch dish or after-drinks comfort food.

◆ Final Thoughts

Marushin Hanten offers the perfect blend of authentic Chinese techniques and Japanese flavor profiles—making it a true gem among local “machi-chuka” (town Chinese) restaurants.

Whether it’s the famous Tenshinhan, the robust Hoikoro, the juicy gyoza, or the nostalgic ramen, every dish hits the mark. And with its late-night hours, it’s perfect for night owls or travelers looking for an authentic local experience.

If you're visiting Kyoto, don’t miss the chance to enjoy some top-tier Chinese comfort food at Marushin Hanten!
