Special Tempura Course

We introduce a tempura course where you can enjoy a clean taste and light fried food that brings out the original flavor of the ingredients using naturally pressed flower oil.

The tempura course is a great deal because it consists of counter seating with the chef at the center, so you can directly learn about the ingredients and how to eat them, and communicate with him.
