Now run by the second generation of owners, Tenshige is an Akasaka classic. There are two types of tempura bowls available at lunch time – the regular tendon and the kakiage (¥1,600 each), but almost everyone goes for the latter.
The simple mixture of prawns and shellfish is wrapped in a fluffy batter with a soft texture, while the yuzu peel on top adds accent to the rich sauce. Each order comes with a side of miso soup and pickles.
