A.K.A. Onion bomb. Their tempura is never a miss, always a hit. Crunchy/crispy batter with soft veggies inside. Goes very well with udon.

Very unusual veggie tempura, gobo(burdock root) is often cooked w/carrots and/or onions for flavors but this one, is burdock root only! But it was actually really good! By deep-fried in oil, the distinctive flavor is somehow mellowed out, yet maintains the crunchy texture w/natty aroma. I'd love this again!

From the top: Jalapeño, Japanese Sweet potato and zucchini.

Veggie tenpura, glad to find one at this okazuya!

Crunchy/crispy outside with nice flavor, can't get better than this👍🏽

Freshly made, piping hot tempura. Crunchy outside, soft & sweet inside, thinner tempura batter, no complaint👌🏽

Just like sweet potato, this too, is freshly made, crunchy thin tempura batter w/soft & sweet kabocha pumpkin. Almost dessert tempura👌🏽

Sweet & crunchy, almost dessert-like tempura🤙🏽

🇯🇵pumpkin tempura. Sweet & savory almost dessert tempura.

Crunchy-crispy batter with sweet soft potato. Almost dessert tempura!

Unusual to have both 🍠& pumpin tempura but this too, is a popular okazu/side dishes with udon noodle.

Ok, I shishito tempura, although rare, does exist, so does 🫑(🇯🇵one which is smaller & bitter). But I never imagined/expected they come up with this...Americanized version of shishito... Flavor & texture-wise, it's 🫑tempura w/a little spice, not badly spicy, the crunchy tempura batter definitely makes a difference✌🏽

Requested regular tempura sauce instead of spicy one. Regardless, I sprinkled spicy(yes) shichini pepper, can't eat tempira without it✌🏽
