Fodor's Expert Review Tenmatsu
$$
Shibuya
Japanese
Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.
The best seats in the house at Tenmatsu, as in any tempura-ya, are at the counter, where your selections are taken straight from the oil and served immediately. At this vantage point, you also get to watch the chef in action, and the good-natured, hospitable chefs and staff add to the experience. Here you can rely on a set menu or order à la carte tempura delicacies like lotus root, shrimp, unagi (eel), and kisu (smelt). There is also a branch in Nihonbashi.
