Sticking out like a brick thumb at the southern end of Ginza’s shopping district is the multi-floor shrine to tempura, Tenkuni. From its humble beginnings in 1885 as a simple yatai stall, it is now a destination for tempura fans. G and I decided to try Tenkuni based on the recommendation of our Japanophile and tempura-fanatic friend. While neither of us are particularly crazy over tempura (too doughy and oily), the way Tenkuni served up deep fried cuisine has certainly has made me reconsider my stance on this battered tastiness.
