Reviews

Very good, high-quality tempura restaurant. Amazing food and amazing service for an amazing night. Really recommended! We had the tempura course which included an entry dish with broth, then a plate with various bites and sashimi before all the several fish and vegetable tempura were served one after the other. All was top-notch: super fresh and cooked right in front of us. We had shrimp, anago (including its bone), eggplant, shiitake and much more. Each time, the chef recommended how to best appreciate the tempura: with salt, soy sauce or nothing. The course ended with a choice between tendon vs tencha, tea and then ice cream. What a superb dinner. The restaurant is located in a somewhat less touristy area/ street but still very close to Nezu station and not to far away from Ueno park, so it's very easily reached with public transportation. The restaurant itself has 6 seatings making it for a cozy experience. Our waitress had above-average English and other visitors were a mix between locals and tourists.

Good choice for a quiet counter meal, kurumaebi is freshly-cooked from the fish tank on display - and lunch course is reasonable at 5,000¥ for a decent selection of tempura dishes with rice and miso.

Incredible experience. For those that love food, this will change the way you view tempura and fried food as a whole.

こちらのスペシャリテのひとつは、大葉で車エビのみそを挟んだもの。入店すると、その仕込み中で活き車エビが並んでいました。天ぷらの前にいただく盛り合わせも手抜きがなく、「明石の真蛸の柔らか煮」「うざく」「さざえのすり流し」「帆立のしんじょう」「スイカと生ハム」お刺身をいただいて、天ぷらがスタート。海老の頭は二種類の油で揚げて、そうそう夏は天つゆも変えてらした。ひかりれんこん、水なす、鱧（ハモ）、青銀杏鱚（きす）、シャイニングコーンそして、もうひとつのスペシャリテは活き穴子。後半で穴子の天ぷらを食べるのってツライときがあるけど捌きたてだと、まったく臭みがない。骨も揚げてくれます。〆のご飯は塩天ばら。黒胡椒がいい感じ。最後のデザートにはさつまいもの天ぷらが添えられています。抹茶アイスも手作り、小豆も手作りだそう。手抜きがなくて、居心地もよくて最高です。

どれも美味しかったです。最後まで食べるとだいぶお腹いっぱいでした。最初の盛り合わせから全部美味しく、次の料理への期待値を高めてくれます。季節感を感じることができます。天ぷら屋さんの醍醐味は季節の食材を美味しく堪能できるところだと思っているので、その点では非常に満足です。どの天ぷらも美味しかったのですが、個人的にはウニがとろけてすごく美味しかったです。大好きな銀杏は確か追加で頼ませていただいた気がします。(少し前のことなので記憶があやふやですいません) また人生初の土瓶蒸しを味わうことができて貴重な体験ができました。食材の旨みが濃縮され、カボスを少し絞るとまた違ったさっぱりとした風味が加わりあっという間に飲み干しました。アワビの天ぷらと肝ごはんは本当に美味しかったです。おかわりしたいくらいでした。根津という落ち着いた土地にあるのも雰囲気とマッチして良かったです。最後に気になる点を挙げるとしたら、カウンターとなりますが物が結構おいてあるため写真を撮るときに背景が少しごちゃっとします。天ぷらでお高いコースを頼めるお店ですと比較的キッチン周りが整理されているお店が多い印象でしたので少しギャップがありました。そこも含めていいと思ってますが、気になる方のために一応伝えておきます。またお伺いできれなとおもいます。

天ぷらコース（¥14,300 各種カード使えるようです。2025.3）いただきました。カウンターのみ（7〜8名くらい）の小ぢんまりしたお店。その分大将との会話が楽しめるいい距離感です。先付から香り高い胡麻油で揚げた天ぷら（12品　都度オススメの食べ方を示してくれるのも有り難い）、シメのご飯、デザートまで満足のクオリティでした。種類は少ないが用意されている日本酒も満足。おまかせコースもあるようですが、個人的にはこのコースで充分でした。食事の満足度を上げる大将の人柄がいい。再訪したい。
