Okayama, Japan｜Takahashi

I was in Okayama on a business trip and had some time until the evening meeting, so I went to a slightly rich tempura restaurant before 12:00. They said it would be OK until 12:30, so of course I said OK. The order starts with a 3,000 yen tempura course and draft beer. Unfortunately, it's not a counter, so it's a little disappointing, but is it a consideration for regular customers because there are few seats? The quality of tempura is high, and if it's this level of tempura, I'd like you to enjoy it with Okayama's local sake at night.

Okayama City, where the highest temperature is 5°C. . . It's rare to be this cold in December, so let's take care of our bodies with something warm! We came to Kyomachi's "Tempura Takahashi", a tempura specialty restaurant that is rare in Okayama. Visit at the start time with advance reservation and get a table seat by the window. There is also a counter seat, so it seems that you can see the deep-fried food carefully. The first is Okinawa Nago live tiger prawn first fried, the head and body are separated and fried. The body is very sweet, the head has a fragrant taste, and you can enjoy the taste of miso. Otaru, Hokkaido Deep-fried North Sea scallops. . . It is also naturally sweet. Wakayama Takanoguchi Fried sesame tofu was served, and the clam soup had an elegant taste, and the sesame tofu was sticky. Okayama Tsurajima lotus root deep-fried tofu, large size divided into 3 parts, thick enough. It's the season when it gets cold, so it's the time when it's going to be delicious. Okayama Kasaoka chrysanthemum yam deep-fried with isobe, this is also a seasonal vegetable. Chiba Kujukurihama Clam wrapper, as the name suggests, is wrapped in batter, including the shell, and fried. You can fully enjoy the unique umami taste because the clam flavor is contained. Hyogo Awaji Island Deep-fried ground conger eel is a large size. The steamed meat is plump, and the meat is light, but the curry powder accentuates it. Okayama Yoshii-cho Meikatsu Burdock Fragrant Deep-fried, the unique taste of burdock is quite strong, and the compatibility with conger eel was outstanding! . The meal was a tempura bowl, 3 half-sized shrimp with a rich sauce, and a large roasted white sesame that combined with a fragrant taste. After the meal, relax for a while while having sherbet. . . The freshly fried tempura made with seasonal ingredients at a specialty store has a special taste. I was able to enjoy the taste of winter (*^^*)

It was delicious. Each dish was served with great care, and even though we weren't seated at the counter, it was just the right amount of warmth, and each dish was served in a way that suited each ingredient (grated radish, salt, curry salt, tempura sauce, etc.). Since it was tempura, I was worried that it might be heavy on my stomach, but that wasn't the case at all. I want to go again.
