Gotemba, Shizuoka, Japan｜てんぷら士才

A gem of a find. They have only one sitting each evening at 18:30 and the main dining room seats 7. Watch tempura prepared and cooked right in front of you. Friendly atmosphere. Omakase menu and one of the items took me by surprise. The chef opened, battered and tempura'ed live clams! Will definitely return.

I asked at lunch. Locals. This is a wonderful tempura restaurant. Not to mention the taste of tempura that is carefully fried one by one. The personality of the general and landlady, the service, the atmosphere of the shop, the price, everything is the best. Even the dessert, homemade ice cream, was delicious! The location is close to the Otome Exit of Gotemba Station. There are 2 parking lots in front of the store, 1 parking lot a little away, and there seems to be another affiliated parking lot, so please visit the store. I think it's a must-go shop in Gotemba. I'm worried that it won't be too popular (laughs) It's a small shop with only a counter, so reservations are essential.

No matter what you eat, you won't be disappointed, and the skewers have the perfect amount of salt. It's so carefully made that you end up eating way too much. There was a private room so I could relax.
