Tempura

Experience the art of traditional Japanese Tempura
A signature creation featured on the esteemed Chef’s Special Omakase menu at ISHIDAYA

What may appear as a simply elegant dish, the Tempura on our Chef’s Special Menu, encapsulates a profound artistry that we are honored to share with you.

The hallmark of exceptional Tempura is the exquisite synergy between the highest quality seasonal ingredients and the delicate, time-honored batter known as Koromo (衣). This ethereal, golden veil delicately embraces the inherent perfection of each carefully chosen element, resulting in a captivatingly light and crispy texture with an explosion of natural flavors. Behind this seemingly understated preparation is a process of meticulous precision. The critical ratio of chilled water, superior flour, and fresh eggs achieves a nuanced mastery that is often unseen but always tasted.

Moreover, the true essence of our Tempura lies within the selection of the freshest seasonal treasures from the ocean’s finest offerings to the most vibrant vegetables, each hand-selected by our head chef. These elements unite to form a quintessential Japanese Tempura, served immediately at our omakase counter, offering an unexpected and elevated gastronomic encounter for the discerning palate.
