New review on Tempura Naruse, the best Tempura restaurant in Japan, up on my blog πΌ Link in profile πΌ
I shouldnβt be surprised though. Naruse gets their ingredients from the volcanic foothills of Mount Fuji, and Suruga Bay via Sasue Maeda (a highly sought after seafood supplier) with first dibs on everything before theyβre sent to the Toyosu Market in Tokyo.
Timing is essential when frying great tempura but taisho Shimura-san takes it to a whole other level, timing even the harvesting and delivery of produce, most of which are harvested by taisho Shimura-san or his team in the morning, just in time for each sitting.
