tempura suzuki

We've been wanting to check out Tempura Suzuki for some time now and we finally got to go yesterday, since Satoshi had the day off.

We tried their hirunomi set (lunch drink set)...1000 yen (tax included) each,

It comes with one drink, if you want beer it is an extra 200 yen (tax included).

I chose the shiso chuhai, Satoshi had the ume chuhai.

Choice of one otsumami (pupu) from the list of about 8 on the wall.

I chose sweet potato salad, Satoshi chose their miso cream cheese.

Sweet potato mixed with grainy mustard, a little mayo & pepper, gonna try to recreate this.

Satoshi’s cream cheese was marinated with some white miso.

I was surprised he chose this, I thought he would choose the anago (salt water eel) or the pupu with wasabi…and when his choice came out he was disappointed…

The set also comes with 4 pieces of tempura (shrimp, eggplant, megochi (big eyed flat head) and broccoli)

There are also tsukemono (pickles) on the counter that you can snack on too.

The tempura is not served with tsuyu (tempura sauce), just salt or black shichimi

Everything was fried perfectly and is served right out of the oil.

I wish they had tendon (tempura bowl) on their menu but they only have teishoku (set menu), so we’ll be back to try, especially the set that has a tempura soft boiled egg.

These kind of lunch specials are just amazing. I remember we went to some empty kushikatsu joint in Osaka and had an omakase nine-piece set WITH drink for Y980. How do these places do it?!!

Saburo, I think a lot of places make their money at night when the drinkers come out in full force, They probably do not make money during lunch with these specials but at least they get people to come in to eat.

Take care.
