As the second owner of Tenjaku, Ryo Nishioka never forgets the spirit of his grandfather, who always made customers smile with his cuisine. The menu begins with an appetiser plate that reflects the mood of the season and proceeds to soup, decoratively arranged sashimi, and finally to tempura. The simple, familiar flavour of the tempura tofu, deep-fried and dressed in dipping sauce, warms the soul. The eve-catching hinoki cypress counter, made from a single plank, transforms the interior into a place of quiet dignity.
