Kawasaki, Kanagawa, Japan｜Mikasa

Definitely one of the top tempura I've been to in Japan especially for the price. The breading is a traditional "fluffy" style yet remains quite light. A number of items are non-traditional (sake kasu, tomato, yuba-uni...) and unique to this place.

Some tempura dishes were very creative and tasty. Reasonable price for the quality and taste.

Almost every foodie knows this. As expected, this tempura is among the top in the world and has received high praise from various sites. It is difficult to get a reservation, and it is famous as a restaurant where reservations cannot be made. The chef is said to be a living national treasure, and in order to take tempura seriously, he never talks to the customers and continues frying in silence, so as not to miss the sound or timing of frying. When he has time, he talks to me with a cute smile. Despite its high reputation, the dinner course costs 15,000 to 18,000 yen, which is reasonable in the tempura world. The ingredients range from high-class to simple and common, and the chef's cooking methods are creative and entertaining. This time, I visited with 4 men. The staff was very attentive and hospitable, and I felt that the reason why it is so difficult to make reservations was other than the taste. You'll be pretty full, but you can choose between the tempura bowl and the tempachazuke at the end, so if you're hungry, you can eat both. please! ! ○Exterior/Interior 6 seats at the counter 1 set of tables ○Payment method Card accepted [Memo] nozuway best ■Shiitake mushroom A popular shiitake mushroom. However, when you eat it, it has a luxurious flavor. Tempura made with shiitake mushrooms and mentaiko. The moment you bite into just a shiitake mushroom, the shiitake mushroom juice overflows and the exquisite aroma wafts through the air. The rich, grainy texture of mentaiko is delicious. ■Shrimp (with miso) The moment you bite into the shrimp tempura, which is about 50 times more than the shrimp tempura served at regular restaurants, the shrimp flavor covers your whole face. This surprised me. It was a masterpiece that made me wonder what kind of shrimp tempura I had eaten before. ■Soba brat The moment I saw it, I thought, oh no, it's too pickled in wasabi. I want to punish myself for thinking that. It's not enough without this much wasabi. At first, you will feel a little strong wasabi coming through your nose, but gradually the scent of wasabi will penetrate your nose and you can enjoy the taste of soba noodles gradually. I can no longer eat soba brats other than mika. ■Figs The figs were so delicious that they touched my heart. I want to eat it as many times as I want. Personally, I used to eat figs a lot when I was a child, and I love them, but to be able to eat them again in the form of tempura is an overwhelming feeling. It's sunny with the deep-fried general! ! Thank you for the meal. *Posted at 4.30
