Visit "Tempura Kitagawa" in Ebisu, also selected in the Michelin Guide Tokyo 2026✨️ Different from any tempura I've had before... | Gurutto Tokyo Reporter

The Michelin Guide Tokyo 2026 has selected "Tempura Kitagawa" in Ebisu ✨️.

This place made me think, "It's a little different from the tempura I've had until now." 97a

Their tempura involves more than just frying. They adjust methods like dehydration, steaming, frying, and baking according to the ingredient, using a gentle heat to cook.

Despite the incredibly thin and light coating, you can still savor the aroma and moisture of the ingredients, enjoying the natural taste itself, which is impressive✨️.

Focusing on ingredients from Shizuoka, we had:

Cutlassfish
Asparagus
Horse mackerel
Shizuoka potatoes
Red beef sirloin
Shizuoka mushrooms
Jindou squid
Kuzu noodles
Spanish mackerel
Shizuoka burdock
Red sea bream
Black eggplant

And more.

The cutlassfish has a crisp light batter with a fluffy inside♡

The asparagus, with its fragrance, offers a lovely sweetness as you chew 97a.

Horse mackerel is soft and fluffy, even has a chewy texture, exceeding my expectations!

As for the Shizuoka mushrooms 344, their size alone is impressive, but the juiciness once bitten is overwhelming...! I've never had such a juicy mushroom before 633.

Jindou squid, which is only available a few days a month, is tender and sweet 991.

Red sea bream has crispy aromatic skin and a juicy interior✨️.

Black eggplant was so melt-in-your-mouth...! Surprising how much moisture you can feel from a vegetable 602.

Though the number of dishes is almost overwhelming, you feel surprisingly light after finishing. 44f 3fb

Ending with a choice of tempura bowl or tea-rice is a delight~!

I chose tea-rice 375, served with prawn and lotus root tempura drizzled with gentle broth, providing a comforting last bite♡

Dessert is milk ice cream made using milk from Shizuoka 368, served with Kakegawa green tea, allowing you to enjoy Shizuoka's flavor to the end✨️.

The counter inside has 8 seats and features a clean, stylish space without large visible ventilation systems, offering an atmosphere that doesn't quite resemble typical tempura shops.

It was an enjoyable experience watching each dish being prepared in front of us, making me want to savor it slowly☺️.

By the time you finish, you might have a slightly changed perception of tempura…!✨️
