Absolutely love it when restaurants choose one item and do it well, which is evidently the case here with all the ASMR crunch going on throughout the meal. 👍🏻👍🏻 Thanks to Tenjin and Burpple for hosting this amazing feast that really showcased their simple but fantastic menu! Shoutout to the tempura here - crispy batter that isn’t overly oily nor cloying, and generous in portions with a good variety of ingredients (anago/eel, crab leg, ebi/prawn, white fish, vegetables (love love love the pumpkin and mushroom), free range eggs with an ozzy yolk), covered in spicy/non-spicy tare (would have liked more sauce but maybe that’s just a personal preference; also non-spicy eaters can totally opt for the spicy sauce too which is more flavourful but will not kill you with spice). 😋😋 My favourite of the lot has got to be the Inaniwa Udon ($24.80++), where the star of the dish was definitely the cold Inaniwa udon that was thin (unlike the typical thick ones) and chewy with a really smooth silky finish, and really appreciated the alternative of noodles apart from the usual rice at most tendon restaurants. 🤤🤤 But if you’re a diehard rice fanatic, the Tempura Moriwase ($24.80++) and Premium Toku-Jo ($22.80++) are definitely equally satisfying, with the difference being in their method of preparation and (duh) presentation. Less extravagant options like the Special Jo ($14.80++) without the fish and crab legs, as well as the Vegetable Yassin ($12.80++) are also available. All sets come without bowl of miso soup and kyabetsu salad with sesame dressing to make it a perfect wholesome meal. Sides like the Truffle Chawanmushi ($3.80++) deserve a special mention with their innovative take on the usual boring chawanmushi, by adding truffle kombu to really amp it up! Their Hojicha ($2.50++) here is also really fragrant and pairs perfectly with the tendon. Definitely a very versatile dining spot - be it family, friends or date night, the cosy restaurant is spacious unlike typical tendon restaurants for a comfortable meal with sufficient personal space to enjoy a good meal over good conversations 😌😌
