4 reviews of Tempura Tsunahachi

Shinjuku

If you travel to Tokyo and want to eat premium Tsunahachi tempura, I recommend this restaurant. There are several in Tokyo but I usually go in Shinjuku whch is about five minutes from the east exit. There is another on the top floor of the department store Takashimaya Shinjuku (exit South terrace). In case you are not aware exactly what it is, tempura is a Japanese food which originated in Portugal. It was first discovered by Portuguese Jesuits missionaries during the fifteenth century. It was a meal of vegetables and battered fish. Normally, on holidays or in evenings of public holidays, there is a big queue so it's best to go another day.

Once inside, you can eat at the bar or on tatami. Although eating in Japanese tatami seems like a good idea, perhaps it is best to choose the bar because the idea is to eat the tempura as soon as it comes out of the oil, and you cannot do this in the tatami area. Also, if you eat at the bar you can watch them preparing the cooked food. In Tsunahachi there are several menus but the cheapest is called Tempura Zen and has a good range of things to try. It includes: 1) miso soup, rice and pickles. 2) A first batch of shrimp tempura two large and one type of fish, a mollusc and two green spears of asparagus 3) Anago. This is a small type of eel. 4) A mixed tempura with some vegetables and a lot of small shrimp.
