We all love tempura and I am sure many of us grew up ordering tempura and it comes to you in a bamboo plate and we would just gulp it down 🙂  But in Japan, tempura is a serious thing 🙂  We tried 2 last trip

and one new one this trip
In Japan, they serve your tempura one by one – so you get to eat it straight and fresh from the pan. Â If you get the bar seat – you see them preparing and cooking it right in front of you

Shrimp tempura – squeeze the orange 🙂
Scallops – this was my order 2 pcs. of this. Â So big, so fresh and so yummy
One of their specialties – Sweet Potato – it took them 45 minutes to cook this.  I was watching the whole time 🙂
Kakiage- also one of their specialties.  It can served two ways –  pouring of tea and pickles or served as tendon – soaked in sauce, on a bowl of rice
Even Obama had a hard time getting a reservation here 🙂
