This is a renowned tempura restaurant opened by Nakamura, who hails from the famous Narumi area, located near Yaizu Station. It quickly gained popularity, making reservations quite difficult. I had the chance to visit for lunch for the first time, despite only having four hours of sleep due to his daily sourcing and preparation efforts.The tempura is made with fresh, high-quality ingredients from local suppliers like Sasae Maeda Fish Shop, and is cooked with delicate techniques to maximize flavor and texture. There are unique items on the menu that you won't find elsewhere, and the variety is impressive, ensuring a high level of satisfaction.The selection of Japanese sake includes many options from Shizuoka.Here’s what I enjoyed:- Clam and fish dashi- Sashimi, Spanish mackerel, and bluefin tuna- Barley squid rice- Horse mackerel- Fresh shirasu with perilla- Asparagus tips- Burdock- Sweetfish with scales- Asparagus stems- Aori squid- Horse mackerel- Vinegared dishes (mustard greens, komatsuna, and more)- Baby horse mackerel and baby sardines- New shoots of green beans- Red snapper- Jindo squid- Spanish mackerel- Ribbonfish- Beni Haruka sweet potato- Tempura rice bowl- Sweets
