Ikoma, Nara, Japan｜天麩羅 べに江

Loved the tempura and matcha soba. Really delicious. Highly recommended.

Excellent tempura restaurant

The freshly fried tempura was excellent. I visited when the store opened at 11:30 on weekdays. At this time, all five parking spaces next to the store were empty. I was given a seat at the counter. The owner is frying the tempura right in front of the counter, and you can hear the pleasant crackling sound. From there, you can place the freshly fried food directly onto your plate, allowing you to enjoy it just as it is freshly fried. The shrimp, kisses, squid, pumpkin, eggplant, maitake mushrooms, lotus root, and kogomi were all extremely delicious. And the tea soba noodles are visually beautiful. It had a firm texture and went down smoothly, and I could feel the flavor of matcha and it was very delicious. There is no ceiling above the seats, so the ceiling height is high and it is very open. By the time I left the store, the parking lot was full. This was my first time coming from Osaka, and it was a restaurant that I would definitely like to come back to again.
