Tempura Sakuma
A tempura specialty restaurant in Tomita-Higashi, Koriyama. Selected for Tabelog Tempura Top 100 Restaurants consecutively in 2025, 2023, and 2022. Farm-direct seasonal seafood, vegetables, and mountain greens fried in pure sesame oil—served piping hot at the counter. The lunch tendon rice bowl (1,430 yen), featuring two large shrimp, five vegetables, red miso soup, and pickles, offers extraordinary value. On weekends, only the monthly course (from 2,090 yen) is available by reservation; weekdays are walk-in. Passed from father to daughter, this dedication to seasonal ingredients and careful technique makes it the only standalone tempura specialist in Koriyama.
'No other tempura in Koriyama offers this quality at this price.' 'Every ingredient is top-tier—the kakiage fritter is exceptional.' 'Weekend lunch reservations are often hard to get—that says it all.' 'Been coming since my father's generation. The daughter kept the quality exactly the same.'
