Minoh, Osaka, Japan｜Tempura no Yama - Minoh Main Shop

An exceptional tempura place that I randomly went after going to the nearby liquor store. You are greeted with two ticket vending machines with their menu. I suggest ordering their seasonal menu with a side extra of soba noodles for an extra 100 yen. The space inside can easily accommodate around 50 people. Water and green tea is self-service. You are greeted with a tray or two and they will in turn give you the menu items if you ordered a set meal. The best part is when they have finished frying the tempura and they go front of your seat, tongs in hand, and they hand to your tray your mountain of fried food, explaining each one by one. I find that gesture very fulfilling and hospitable. I wowed when the server actually made two trips for my tray of food (they gave me two LARGE shrimp tempura on the second trip). In the rare case that you want to order more, you can ask one of the waiters and you just need to pay to them in cash. I’d be their regular customer if it isn’t located in the literal outskirts. It seems like you have earned every bit that you paid for with their dishes.

Totally crispy, one of the best Tempura I've ever had! If you get Teishoku, the Miso soup that comes with it is also really good!

A clean and neat tempura restaurant. Delicious light and crispy tempura set menu.
