Its quiet alleys are home to long-standing restaurants that cater to discerning palates, and among them is Tempura Tenko, a culinary gem with over 45 years of history.

Located on the picturesque Kakurenbo Yokocho, Tempura Tenko is led by second-generation owner Chef Hitoshi Arai, a master of tempura who has showcased his craft in New York, Paris, and Milan.

Chef Arai’s dedication to preserving and sharing Japanese cuisine has earned him a devoted following, including many international guests who return to savor his creations time and time again. With expertise that extends beyond sake to a deep knowledge of wine, Chef Arai ensures that every guest is treated to a harmonious dining experience.

Chef Arai’s pride and joy is his approach to shrimp tempura. While many prize larger shrimp, he carefully selects smaller ones for their perfect sweetness and flavor when fried. His meticulous technique transforms these shrimp into delicate bites of perfection. Alongside the shrimp, Tempura Tenko offers Edo-style seafood from Tokyo Bay and seasonal vegetables, creating a dining experience that celebrates the best ingredients each season has to offer.

With its rich history, attention to detail, and seasonal delights, Tempura Tenko is a must-visit for those seeking the finest in Japanese tempura.
