Tenkane
With its traditional atmosphere and fresh tempura, this Shinjuku tempura restaurant transports diners back to Meiji-era Japan with every crispy bite.
Restaurant Details
Tenkane is an edible time capsule in Shinjuku, whisking guests back to the Meiji era since its opening in 1903. The tatami room murmurs with bygone laughter while the modern sizzle of the fryer connects the counter seats to Tokyo's ever-evolving spirit. The open kitchen offers an intimate peek into the frying process, and the restaurant, adorned with historic painter Sotaro Yasui's art, radiates nostalgia.
Each piece of tempura is carefully crafted from the freshest ingredients sourced daily from the legendary Toyosu Market. The prawn tempura, a timeless favorite, tells a tale of a chef's enduring relationship with Toyosu fish wholesalers, ensuring crispy, juicy delights with every bite.
While tempura remains the highlight of the restaurant’s menu, Tenkane's repertoire also features a rotating selection of sashimi and desserts. All these come together to form an experience that's light on the stomach but heavy on flavor, giving guests some insight into Japanese culinary heritage.
Tenkane Access Info
Tenkane can be accessed via a 1-minute walk from Shinjuku Station's Exit B17.
