Nagoya, Aichi, Japan｜Yajima

A restaurant where you can enjoy tempura and tempura at reasonable prices. Tempura Yajima. Tendon and Sushi Yajima are located on the corner lot. There are two stores, so be careful not to make a mistake. By the end of December 2022, prices are rising everywhere these days, Eating out seems very expensive, but here it's really reasonable. A tempura bowl with 7 toppings in 6 types: 2 shrimp, white fish wrapped in shiso (squid this time), Japanese yam, eggplant, pumpkin, and maitake mushrooms. The set price of 800 yen excluding tax for a set of red soup stock and a bite of dessert is quite a bargain. Adding soft-boiled egg tempura (150 yen) to this makes it even better. At first, I enjoyed the freshly fried tempura, and halfway through I cracked the egg tempura. There's no need to eat it with the melty and spilled yolk. I think it's pretty rare to find a delicious restaurant that still does its best at this price. I don't have many opportunities to come to this area, I always have lunch here when I can. Added: 2023.8.10 When I stopped by for the first time in a while, the price had gone up. Tendon is 950 yen. Added menu photos. It can't be helped that the prices are going up, but it seems like the a la carte menu is no longer available. Soft-boiled egg tempura was also no longer on the menu. Tempura Yajima seems to have a la carte menu, but on the other hand, it doesn't seem to have a tempura bowl, which is a shame.

I visited during lunch time. I was able to enjoy freshly fried tempura at a good price. A very relaxing interior How to fry it so you won't get tired even if you eat a lot! It was very delicious. I feel that the thoughtfulness of the staff was reflected in the food. Thank you for the meal.

It's a small kappo restaurant run by a young chef by himself, but he used to run it at a restaurant in the center of Nagoya, and the restaurant was head-hunted, so the taste is very good. There are two tables that seat four people and a counter that seats seven people, but if you want to enjoy conversation with the chef about the food, we recommend the counter, even if it's only at night. Even the desserts are handmade, using seasonal ingredients and adjusting the ingredients according to the customer's preferences, which is the best part. The price is a little high, but considering the materials, it might be worth it. They also serve lunch during the day, so I'd like to go there during the day. The inside of the store has been recently renovated and is very clean, and of course, non-smoking.
