Remarks:
1)
The first Tenya was started in Tokyo Station, Yaesu Underground
Shopping Centre, in 1989. It has about 120 branches in 2008. It will
celebrate its 20th anniversary in 2009.
2) They said they would taste the miso soup every 30 minutes in order to maintain its taste and quality.
3) The temperature of frying oil is kept at 180+-5 degree Celsius.
4) Seasonal menu is served.
In
Kinshicho Station (錦糸町駅), we decide to have our lunch in Tempura Bowl
Tenya (TBT). TBT is a chain store in Japan, with about 120 branches. We
know it serves tempura in not bad quality, or in a quite high quality.
We order two different tempura sets, both with udon. Each meal set
serves with pickles and miso soup.
After
10 minutes and within our expectation, tempura sets are served in hot.
The rice is hot and each piece of rice is in very good condition. The
tempuras are not greasy. Together with the soya sauce, it becomes a
tasty tempura meal at very reasonable price.
