Tempura Tempei

Founded in 1967, Tempura Tenpei is a long-standing tempura restaurant located in Nagoya's Nishi Ward, where nostalgia for the Showa era unfolds with each visit. Ascending the stone-paved stairs, you are greeted by a wooden back entrance and a menu displayed on short strips of paper at the counter, immersing you in the restaurant's charming atmosphere that makes you forget the passage of time. The tempura, made with ingredients like lotus root and shrimp, is characterized by its light and crispy texture, freshly fried to perfection. The cooking oil is easy on the stomach, and the sauce, a recipe since its founding, enhances the deliciousness, making it a place you’ll want to revisit.
