Tempura
One Star: High quality cooking
The chef learned his tempura skills at Rakutei, a now-closed Akasaka restaurant. Oil is replaced frequently, paying careful attention to its temperature, the humidity and the nature of the ingredients used. The chef recalls how the series of movements by which tempura pieces are coated in batter and deep-fried was seared into his memory as he watched his mentor, a true craftsman, at work. The flow of the meal is distinctly old-school Tokyo, yet the chef knows how to make his tempura unique with a few novelties, such as mochi rice cake with dried mullet roe.
