Tempura
Tempura reimagined—an extraordinary interpretation shaped by the unique perspective of a kushikatsu chef.
- Counter Seating
- Solo Diner Accepted
The Michelin-listed Osaka kushikatsu institution Kushikatsu Bon has embarked on a new challenge: creating a tempura restaurant that redefines the genre.
This vision gave rise to Tempura Bonji, located in Osaka’s lively Kitashinchi district. Its ten-seat L-shaped counter faces an open kitchen, with night views and a miniature stone garden offering a calm, refined atmosphere.
Tempura Bonji uses a custom oil blend centered on premium cottonseed oil, known as the “king of oils”.
The result is tempura that is remarkably light on the outside while allowing the ingredient’s natural flavor to bloom within. The restaurant tempura-fries ingredients typically found in high-end kaiseki—such as Japanese Kuroge Wagyu beef Chateaubriand, pristine seafood, and exceptional tuna sourced from top purveyors.
Guided by the principles of ingredient, oil, temperature, and heart, Tempura Bonji aims to share authentic Japanese culinary culture with the world.
A destination for those who value quality over quantity, it continues to captivate tempura lovers every day.
