Translated from Japanese:
This is one of Japan's most famous restaurants where you can enjoy extremely rare tempura.
Although he was a strict owner typical of a tempura restaurant, he was also a friendly person who was willing to chat with me even during the tense cooking process.
Above all, this is probably the only place in Japan where you can get tempura of this quality at this price.
This is definitely the best place in Japan for its taste, atmosphere, and value for money, so be sure to invite your girlfriend who loves delicious food to try it.

I have visited several times before, but every time I go, I am impressed.
Shrimp, kiss, and conger eel, which are also standard tempura, are delicious every time you go.
You can also get other seasonal items, and it makes me want to come back in a different season.
The price may be high for some people, but I think it's cheap for this quality and service.
General, thank you very much for the store.

It was delicious!
The second shrimp was my favorite because it was medium-soft.
It was also fresh to sprinkle truffle salt on grated daikon radish for oyster tempura.
