Tempura Abe Honten

Located right by the metro station in Tokyo’s central Ginza district, this tempura shop provides some of the best value tempura dining in the city. You can get a real, quality tempura lunch here for the same price as a meal at a standard burger joint! That’s no small thing, which is why Tempura Abe Honten is listed in the Michelin Guide as Bib Gourmand, the prize awarded to great value restaurants. No matter your budget, a trip here is time well spent. Their tempura batter is perfectly crisp, without any excess oil. They also serve premium seafood such as abalone, and juicy prawns kept in tanks on the premises for maximum freshness. There are only 16 seats at this steal-deal Ginza restaurant. Make sure to book ahead to guarantee your spot!
