"Inspired by a calligrapher’s rendition of the character ‘ten’ (heaven), which is also used for ‘ten’ in tempura, the chef aspires to reach heavenly heights with his tempura. Takahisa Uchitsu fries unusual items because many classic tempura ingredients have grown harder to find. Rather than chase dwindling stocks, he focuses his passion on seeking out new ingredients. Crabs’ legs are partially cooked; the cherry salmon is fragrant and served whole. Friendly service welcomes you and draws you in." - Michelin Inspector

One of the best tempura in Tokyo. A restaurant w 8 seats. The background setting behind the chef was beautiful and tasteful. The two chefs was friendly and tried to communicate about the dishes in English. Food was very good and the wine list was sufficient. Overall, I enjoyed it very much and would recommend it strongly

Wow. Simply just wow. Entering the restaurant is like stepping into a new world of complete zen. From the second you step foot inside you’re swept off your feet and taken care of entirely. The attention to detail and the way you’re attended to it exceptional. The Tempura is absolutely delicious. Light, crisp and tender inside. It was interesting the way they served their dishes differently and creatively. They were also very accommodating to my preferences/allergy. The sweet potato 🍠 was divine and my absolute favourite. The sake was paired with meticulously. You leave feeling soooo much happier than just a few hours before. It’s a whole experience, and somewhat reminds me of Sanzen-in Temple. Thank you and we will most definitely be back!

Absolutely amazing and chef was incredibly welcoming. Tempura isn’t as popular a style of cuisine anymore but chef Uchitsu is the best and heck, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was there right before I visited. Don’t be scared, eat everything the chef offers, (including any whole fish), and enjoy the delicious sensations dancing on your tastebuds.

Very good. Not a traditional tempura progression - lots of non-fried items and even Western ingredients like gorgonzola. Interesting dinner overall, although I would rather have had straight tempura. Chef is very friendly too. For foreigners, the restaurant is bookable via your hotel concierge or the Tableall service.
