Delicious tempura at incredibly reasonable prices made by a master chef in an old town, Tokyo.

It was in early August at lunch when I first visited here…I was very surprised at very delicious 海老穴子天井(shrimp & conger eel tendon (a bowl of steamed rice topped with tempura)) for 750 yen.

I’m not interested in finding bargaining food.
I always keep in mind to review high-quality food.



Batter is the essential part of tempura.

Ingredients, including shrimp, squid, smelt-whiting, and conger eel, were coated with silky batter and were deep-fried. Each of them was excellent.

The chef deep-fries each ingredient perfectly with his long-established sense and technique.

There are many restaurants that make me feel to drop by here and there in Monzen Nakacho. However, I recently come here whenever I have a chance.

Please stop by here and enjoy these high-quality tempura made by a master chef.
