Tempura Katsumi

Only catering to up to 10 people at the counter, Kamiyacho's Tempura Katsumi sees a sizeable crowd of businessmen queued up around noon. Their tempura over rice (¥1,300) features a mountain of prawns, Japanese whiting, eel and vegetables including eggplant and okra, all placed around the kakiage. The freshly fried tempura is given a quick dip in sweet sauce in order for the batter to retain its crunchy texture. It comes with quite a serving of rice, so small eaters might want to make their case when ordering.
