Tempura Kondo, the distinguished Two Michelin-Starred restaurant in the heart of Tokyo, is celebrated as one of Japan’s most iconic culinary destinations.
At its helm is Chef Fumio Kondo, a true master whose career spans over five decades. Revered by gourmets, world-renowned chefs, and dignitaries alike, Chef Kondo has elevated tempura from a humble tradition to a globally admired art form.
Every detail reflects uncompromising dedication. Seasonal vegetables and pristine seafood are hand-selected and prepared with meticulous precision. The signature batter—delicate, airy, and subtly infused with umami—is crafted to highlight, never overshadow, the natural essence of each ingredient.
Chef Kondo’s philosophy of refined simplicity marries innovation with restraint, producing cuisine that is as sophisticated as it is pure. Each course becomes an exploration of balance, texture, and flavor — a testament to his lifelong pursuit of perfection.
With reservations highly coveted, dining at Tempura Kondo is not merely a meal, but a rare opportunity to experience Japanese culinary artistry at its highest expression.
