Tempura

Today, I am going to share about tempura!!

Tempura are pieces of lightly battered, deep fried seafood and vegetables.

Tempura can be found in many types of restaurants across Japan, where it is commonly served as a main dish, side dish or as a topping for tendon rice bowls, or udon and soba noodle dishes.

The following are some of the most popular varieties of tempura pieces:

Shrimp 

Fish 

Eggplant 

Mushrooms 

Pumpkin 

The best place to try tempura are restaurants specialized in the dish, known as tempura-ya. 

Tempura-ya have the reputation of being high-class restaurants, where customers often sit at the counter and watch as the chef prepares one tempura piece after the other. 

A meal at upmarket establishments typically costs $50 or more.

However, cheaper tempura-ya are also popular, with set meals and tendon rice bowls typically available for $8 to $30.
