At a glance
On the sixth floor of a multi-tenant building in Akasaka, long-established tempura restaurant Tenshige serves just two lunch dishes: its signature kakiage rice bowl and tendon. A secret sauce replenished for 62 years soaks into the tempura, drawing lines before opening even on weekdays.
