My wife and I dined at Motoyoshi Tempura tonight, a delightful and unforgettable dining experience for both of us. The skill level of tempura presented by the chef at Motoyoshi was in my personal experience the best tempura I had tried in Japan. Each serving was beautifully presented and perfectly cooked at the right timing and temperature that preserved the taste of the ingredient. The chef had demonstarted his skills as a well deserved Michelin two stars chef. The tempura was covered with a thin layer of crispy tempura batter that was delicious and not oily. A new benchmark of how a great tempura should taste like for me. Thank you chef and your teams for the best tempura dining experience tonight.

Everything at Tempura Motoyoshi is absolutely top-tier from the food and service to the atmosphere. Chef Motoyoshi presented tempura with an paper-thin coating that perfectly stick to the ingredients. I was deeply impressed by the dedication and passion from chef's work and his smile.

Tempura Motoyoshi in Tokyo is a two-Michelin-star destination that has redefined the art of tempura. Chef Motoyoshi Kazuhito is a master of his craft, known for his relentless pursuit of innovation and his "free-thinking approach" to this traditional Japanese dish. The restaurant's excellence lies in its meticulous control of every variable, from the oil blend (a mix of rapeseed, corn, and a touch of sesame) to the innovative use of liquid nitrogen in the flour. This unique technique creates an exceptionally light and crisp batter that acts as a delicate veil, allowing the true flavor of each seasonal ingredient to shine. The dishes are a testament to his artistry, with standout pieces like the tempura prawns, which are cooked and rested to achieve a perfect firmness, and his unique vegetable tempura, which highlights the natural sweetness and texture of the produce. Dining at the eight-seat counter is an intimate and engaging experience. Guests have a front-row seat to the chef's precise work, as each piece is lovingly prepared and served one by one to ensure it is eaten at its absolute peak.

It was a wonderful time with continuous pleasant surprises!! Everything was very much thought out on how to let the customers to enjoy the happy dining moments. Not only the food but the way to set up the dining scene is wonderful! I would definitely want to come back next year!!

Never had such luxurious tempura! Each dish was crafted perfectly and the chef was very pleasant in explaining each dish and how to eat it. Space is very intimate and cosy with just 8 seats. There is even a take away rice ball that was presented to us before leaving. Photos don’t do justice to the food lol

A superb meal, we’ve been twice, will come back again. Exquisite food and pottery. Excellent sake selection. Sophisticated ambience.
