Hakone, Kanagawa, Japan｜Toriten Ichiya

A very cute and cozy restaurant that specialises in Tempura. I have had tempura from many places before but this was my all time favorite. The chicken was cooked perfectly - it was tender, delicious and juicy and the tempura batter was light and had a great flavour. The tartare sauce served as a condiment was just great! I can't rate the meal highly enough. The set comes with pickled vegetables and miso soup. Staff were very friendly and welcoming and the restaurant is welcoming of foreigners. To note the restaurant accepts cash only.

This was my first time ever trying Chicken Tempura and it blew me away. The tempura gave a crispy exterior and the chicken was juicy and tender on the inside. I had the Chicken Tempura Bowl with Tartare sauce. Oh it was superb! The interior of the restaurant was cozy and the staff were extremely friendly. They also have English Menu available when asked. 10/10 would recommend!

Good place for chicken tempura. Can view the mountain Fuji
