Tempura Kusunoki Nakameguro

To maximize tempura's appeal, we control the cooking while assessing each ingredient's moisture content and condition. By finishing so the ingredients are gently steamed inside the batter, we achieve a light, crisp exterior and a juicy interior. The result minimizes any heavy oily feeling and lets you fully enjoy the ingredient's natural flavor and umami. Our technique, tailored to each individual ingredient, truly shines.

The interior features counter seating where you can enjoy watching tempura being finished right before your eyes. The delicate handling of the ingredients, the sound of frying, and the rising aroma—all of the process leading up to the completed dish are part of the meal. You can feel the craftsman’s skill up close and focus on each dish as it is served one by one. This is a calm, intimate place well suited for those who want to leisurely savor tempura.

A new base born from long-standing efforts to engage with tempura and hone unique techniques. While inheriting the cooking methods and approach to ingredients cultivated over the years, a new generation of artisans is at work. Opened in December 2024, it began as a place to pass on accumulated experience and skills in a new setting. Valuing tradition, it pursues the possibilities of tempura.
