Tempura Miyashiro

Well executed with the finest of batter. The timing was precise. Eg, two pieces of prawns cooked medium rare and well done that brought out two distinct flavour profiles. The ingredients undoubtedly world class. Friendly chefs and everything was well described. I appreciated the suggested method of eating each piece - dipping into the radish sauce, homemade salt, lime and/or on its on. JPY17,500+ for lunch. Excellent meal.

one of the truly phenomenal dining experiences I’ve had. The restaurant was lowkey and unassuming from the outside - adding more charm to the experience.

I really did not know what to expect from a tempura omakase, and debated a long while if I should pick the most expensive option. Boy was I glad I did!!! Would highly suggest it.

The chef artfully works in tempura into every dish. The creativity, and authenticity of the meal was truly mind blowing.

Highlights of the meal:
1) Watching the chef prepare the batter and fry the food in front of us
2) the seaweed tempura plate topped with chopped tuna, urchin, and caviar. The seaweed was the perfect crunch
3) Abalone mini hotpot. First you cook the abalone into the Abalone Soup, then you drop in the fried rice ball that is topped with uni. I have NEVER had anything like it and I can’t stop thinking about it
4)Wagyu Wrap
5) Tomato Rice with Tempura - this was such a nice surprise. Even better are the Onigiri takeaways

Had a very good time and enjoyed very much of the course that was presented! The service was amazing and always kept your needs in check. The chef and his assistants were very on top of serving their courses to the people. The course set itself were amazing and loved how intricate some dishes were such as biting into peppercorn first and eat it with the tempura beef. One of my favorite surprisingly was the tempura shrimp shell! Nevertheless I enjoyed every single dishes and was very filling in the end! I hope to revisit one day and do recommend this place! Reservation is needed.

Overall it was a nice omakase tempura dinner with a variety of textures, flavours and presentations. The chef certainly added value to the menu by carefully executing each dish. I particularly enjoyed the abalone soup / crispy rice ball dish, the wagyu roll and the tempura rice. I was impressed that they made the leftover rice into onigiri so I could take them back to the hotel as brunch the next day (and they remained delicious in room temperature)!!

I was happy with everything. The reason, however, in which I rated this place a 4 instead of 5 stars is because I was annoyed with the big party of Cantonese speaking customers sitting next to me. The restaurant was very small and cosy with around 10 seats only, and they took up 8 seats. They spoke in very loud and non-stop Cantonese, a language which I understood every single thing they said. I was embarrassed to hear their naivety in their words (not that I had a choice given they spoke the same language as I do). I just wished that the restaurant could, in some way, avoid serving a large group of people together with another small party (like my situation), particularly if they were tourists and their poor manner might affect the rest of the customers who paid a high price to fine dine at this restaurant!!

This is our first Michelin star tempura experience in Tokyo. Went during lunch and Chef was super friendly and spoke fluent English! Everything was super tasty - like how you’d imagine a good tempura place to be!

A few things that I thought could elevate the dining experience, from my view, the tempura frying was blocked - I could not see him frying the tempura although he was right in front of me. The place was small, quaint and cozy - atmosphere is a plus point.

However, Perhaps it’s my inability to appreciate variety of fish, and the art that goes into the perfect tempura - I reckon I will be happier paying a fraction less for any walk in tempura shops in Japan and have an equally tasty and satisfied meal.
