The delicate, airy batter enhances the natural sweetness of the shrimp and the subtle flavors of the vegetables. The result is light, crisp tempura that never feels greasy\u2014so refined and gentle on the palate that you can enjoy it comfortably even first thing in the morning.<\/span><\/p>\n Tempura Chazuke<\/b> Ten-don Mabushi Set<\/b> Shrimp Tempura Bowl, Soft-Boiled Egg Tempura Bowl, and Tempura Rice Balls<\/b> The restaurant also serves beer chilled to approximately -55\u00b0F.
