Rare creative tempura dishes were served and the atmosphere was really nice at Ten Inu-san. Hibiya Midtown is not only very convenient with direct access to the station, but also has a food court on the lower floors with many delicious dining options. This time, I tried the "Creative Tempura Course" on the 2nd floor! There is also an a la carte menu available, but starting with a course is a great deal and fun. And, there is a wide selection of drinks that go well with tempura, from sparkling wine to wine to single cup sake. I have listed the menu items so be sure to check it out! First, seasonal appetizers, ikura with grated daikon, and a sashimi platter. The appetizers were beautifully presented with rose petals and the freshly shaved cheese melted in the mouth, perfect with the ham! The sashimi was also included. The marinated seasonal vegetables with anchovy sauce were a hit, and the crispy anchovies were like a snack. The simmered beef tendon and tofu were light and easy to eat, with yuzu pepper for flavor variation. And then, the main event, tempura! The daikon tempura with grated yam was a new sensation, crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, with a perfect balance of sweetness and saltiness. Highly recommended! The asparagus tempura, salmon tempura, and Cajun chicken tempura were all flavorful, with the chicken being soft and the flavors well balanced. The avocado tempura was a fun experience, not your typical tempura. And finally, the giant prawn tempura, with scissors included! After that, soba with grated yam came as the true finish, followed by ice cream. The satisfying portion and volume were amazing. It's a great deal, with good service and a stylish, spacious interior with counter seats, making it easy for solo diners to enjoy. I think it's a hidden gem! A great find!
