Why we recommend it
Ten-ichi has been serving tempura in Ginza since 1930, and its main restaurant on Namiki-dori is a classic place to understand why tempura is treated as a craft in Tokyo. At the counter, chefs fry each piece to order, from prawns and seasonal fish to vegetables, and pass it straight to your plate while the batter is at its crispest, with salt, lemon or a dipping sauce with grated daikon on the side.
A counter seat is the whole point, so request one when booking. Lunch is generally the more affordable way to try a Ginza tempura restaurant, while dinner courses run longer and include more seasonal pieces; confirm current menus and prices directly with the restaurant. It occupies the HULIC &New Ginza Namiki 6 building in Ginza 6-chome, a short walk from Ginza Station.
