I have been there many times but I always go with a loyal customer of that restaurant, which might enhanced the dining experience somewhat(both food and service). So I am glad to hear positive reviews from other people. I guess translating the menu to English is difficult, especially the menu is changing all the time. Sanji>

When you look at the oil, you realize that it is always so clear... and this, indeed, makes the difference. And I just came from Aux Delices the Hongo, an address that was recommended here, too! A very good French restaurant, with large servings! Yes, indeed they change it after about 45 pieces were fried in it, which corresponds to about 3 customers!

I would definitely want to try their tempura course someday. I didn't know that they change the oil every 3 customers. That is exactly the difference between expensive and cheap tempura places other than taste - trans fat content!! Sanji>

I tried this place 3 days ago, and it was my first "expensive" tempura restaurant. For dinner, they have menus starting from 10500 yen. That cheapest menu includes a selection of tempura (2 shrimps, 4 fish, 4 vegetables), a tendon (tempura on rice) and a soup, as well as a dessert. It might look a little small, but it is really filling! The quality of the tempura was obviously high, they use only sesame oil which is changed every three customers. All dishes are prepared behind the counter, and sitting there is recommended (there are anyway only 2 small tables). Hello Seat,

Opened it now. Yeah amazing that "tendon" can be as cheap as 600~1000yen in chain restaurants but it can also cost as much as a French course. ^^;; Oops. Opened it now.
