Tempura Ginza Tentei

Tempura Ginza Tentei

Tempura Ginza Tentei is a long-standing tempura specialty shop located in Ginza 8-chome, known as a celebrated establishment where seasonal seafood and vegetables can be enjoyed through delicate artisanal skills. Using carefully selected ingredients from across Japan, its Edo-style tempura finished with light batter and aromatic sesame oil flavor is supported by many gourmets and regular patrons.

The Restaurant's Dedication and Philosophy

The allure of Tentei lies, above all, in its utmost regard for the seasonality of ingredients. Even for the same fish, it discerns differences in water temperature and origin by season, thoroughly sourcing the most delicious items from across the country. Spring mountain vegetables, summer young sweetfish, autumn matsutake mushrooms, winter soft roe and horsehair crab—you can enjoy tempura that expresses the four seasons.

Furthermore, it has strong dedication to the oil used, employing 100% pure sesame oil called "Taiko Gokutan Sesame Oil." While carrying the aroma of sesame, it doesn't feel heavy, bringing out the natural umami and fragrance of the ingredients. The batter is thin and light, achieving an elegant finish that doesn't diminish the presence of the ingredients.

The Allure of a Celebrated Restaurant

The store, quietly situated in the basement of Ginza, is a space that exudes calm and dignity. At the counter, you can enjoy the artisan's handiwork up close, while table seats for entertaining and dining are also provided.
