This meal was the highlight of our trip and easily one of the best meals we have ever had. Chef Miyazaki made us feel comfortable and prepared everything to perfection. The tiger prawns and scallops were amazing!

Nishiazabu Tempura Uoshin

Restaurant in Tokyo

Wonderful dinner experience, I always enjoy my meals at Tempura Fukamachi

Tempura Fukamachi was a fully immersive experience with total guidance from the master chefs combing 70+ years of Tempura experience. It was delightful and playful and truly memorable.

Wonderful experience for our honeymoon! Intimate and personalised, amazing chef and servers.

Simply incredible. The youthful looking 55 year old chef perfected the art of frying w light batter. It was an amazing experience which would make all past n future tempura pale in comparison. Not cheap but worth the lifetime of an experience.
