Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan｜天ぷら蛯天庵

Amazing food and service! All food was made fresh to order, and tempura was extremely delicious. Staff was very welcoming and was very patient with us when we couldn't decide what to eat. The place can be a little hard to find as it is in the basement of a hotel. You can go through the hotel lobby (the hotel staff will kindly lead you to the elevator/stairs) or access through the side entrance to the stairs leading to the basement. Really a hidden gem, highly highly recommend!

Very nice tempura with fresh prawns and crispy batter. Green pepper carefully prepared to avoid bitterness. On the expensive side at 1800 but excellent quality.

I used it for dinner. I went with a group of people who were not familiar with Japanese cuisine, but the mother-like person explained it to me in detail, and I was happy that I was able to eat whatever I wanted without making any compromises. The contents are often decided from the beginning, such as a tempura platter, but by being able to choose the tempura for each item, you can freely choose what you want to eat, such as sea urchin, king crab, shiso leaves, mitsuba leaves, and mushrooms. I was very satisfied. Although it had nothing to do with the taste, the cook was more handsome.
