Tempura Ono Tokyo

A very special French/Tempura collaboration dinner at @tempura_ono. What a delight! Anyone that sticks a huge chunk of truffle into a perfect scallop, fries it, and puts caviar on top, is a hero.

One thing I’ve really been missing is proper tempura. It just can’t survive takeout or delivery. Tonight I tried the new-to-me Tempura Ono in Hatchobori. I was super pleased with my meal. Excellent ingredients, with the kind of light and crispy batter I prefer. A good balance of vegetables and seafood, and many salads and sides between fried courses. The chef was extremely gregarious, and speaks perfect English as well. Highly recommended.

Solid tempura place. Interesting dishes and combinations.
