Business type characteristics

One of the most famous Japanese dishes. It originated in Portugal and was introduced to Japan. Frying with thin layer of batter matched the culture of washoku, where the taste of raw ingredients are important. It has became a highly recognized dish from Japan.

How to make tempura varies between Eastern and Western Japan. In Kanto area, batter is made from eggs and flour, diluted with water, fried in sesame oil. On the other hand, in Kansai area, they don’t use eggs, batter is made from only flour and water, fried in low head in vegetable oil.

Because of its simple cooking direction, Japanese often make tempura at home. However, it would be significantly different from the one fried by washoku chef who is the master as they carefully pick raw ingredients and even oil to fry.
