What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

A historic tempura rice bowl restaurant founded in Meiji 22 (1889) with over 130 years of tradition. The wooden building constructed in 1927 is a nationally registered tangible cultural property. Located near Minowabashi tram stop in Taito-ku, their signature tendon made with generations-old secret sauce continues to attract devoted local regulars.

Often described as a must-try tendon before claiming to know tendon. The glossy black sauce-coated shrimp and conger eel tempura bowl is extraordinary. Dining inside a designated cultural property building is a one-of-a-kind experience. 1,275 Tabelog reviews, score 3.69. Lunch only - early arrival recommended as it sells out.
