Originally Opened in 1930's- ten Ichi is not even mentioned in Michelin, but seems to be the best known tempura restaurant in Tokyo. We set around a small counter, but there are in fact many such rooms in this Ginza building.
The first thing to observe was the freshness of the ingredients arrayed next to the chef. The prawns were distinctly fresh, as evidenced by the fact that they were still alive; it does not get fresher than this. From live to in your mouth in under a minute.
We had a variety of pieces of tempura: prawns, prawn legs, mushroom, ginko root, asparagus and sea eel (anago). There was also a white fish, shilago. Finally we had a lovely scallop tempura and then excellent miso soup with rice and pickles.
im jp. i wish i would eat here.
