Tempura Shimomura Description
Tempura Shimomura, an award-winning tempura restaurant in Tokyo, offers a remarkable dining experience at its counter seating, complete with detailed explanations from the chef. The tempura served here is celebrated for its thin, elegant batter, delivering exceptional flavor and texture.

The restaurant takes pride in the careful preparation of ingredients, resulting in a refined taste and texture that makes each dish memorable. The chef uses outstanding techniques to create these delectable tempura dishes.
The Omakase course provides a delightful introduction to the restaurant's offerings, featuring crispy shrimp legs, perfectly cooked shrimp, sweet and tender vegetables, fragrant maitake mushrooms, and impressive oyster tempura.

The vegetable tempura, with bamboo shoots and tree buds, adds depth and a touch of spring to the dining experience. Making a reservation before visiting is highly recommended.
