Tokyo Toshima-ku Minami-Ikebukuro 3-16-12

Located about a seven-minute walk from Ikebukuro Station's East Exit, this a la carte style restaurant sits right on the street's eastern corner. The outside has an elegant, eye-catching appearance, and inside they offer tempura prepared with an amazing balance between moist ingredients and crispy fried batter. In addition to tempura they also have a selection of Western-style dishes, including a braised meat dish that is well-cooked for seven hours for maximum deliciousness. The restaurant's owner labors hard over this dish to craft its deep, rich flavor together with its extraordinary tenderness.

池袋の少し駅から離れたところにある天ぷら屋さんです。お店の外見がとても雰囲気があります。ランチはコスパも良く、天ぷらの質も高く、人通りの多いお店だったら相当列ができるかもしれません。

しっかり天ぷらが米の上に盛られています。チェーン店の天丼の「天」と「丼」の比率とは全く違います。主役の海老はなんと2本（しかもビッグ！）も乗っていて感動する事間違いなし！天ぷらはしっかり味付けがしてあり、タレを自分でかけることも出来ますがそんな事を考える前に食べ切ってしまうぐらいの美味しさです！私は友人と土曜の11時にお伺いしました。開店前なのに5組程度並んでおり、私達は30分程度待ち...
