I don't even think about going, but when I pass by, I can't help but be drawn in and my mind is taken over by the irresistible charm of this place. Of course, I find myself inside the cozy restaurant... My go-to order is always the "Tenbara Don" without a doubt. I've never tried any other menu items, but once I sit down, it just comes out reflexively. I always believe it's the best choice and it never fails to impress. I can't drink alcohol during work hours, but one day I'd like to try adding a "Chaser" and enjoy it with a beer. As I think about these things, I'm on the verge of being drawn in again today.

I visited on Tuesday at 12:10 pm, walked in without waiting, and the restaurant was about 90% full. I ordered the "tenbara-don" which came with black seven spice and pickles on the table. The bowl was filled with eel, shiitake mushrooms, green peppers, small shrimp, scallops, squid, and a soft-boiled egg, making it a very satisfying tempura rice bowl. The portion was quite large, especially when combined with the rice, so if you have a small appetite, be cautious.

I visited "Tendon Kanekoya Akasaka" on a holiday in August 2023 around 7:00 PM. It is located about a 1-minute walk from Tameike-Sanno Station. The cozy restaurant had 3 other customers when I entered. I sat alone at a table, looked at the menu for a while, and then ordered the "Tendon Bara Don (with miso soup)" for ¥1,500. The food was served after about 10 minutes. The Tendon Bara Don, with a generous amount of small tempura pieces on rice, and miso soup with plenty of chopped trefoil, was visually impressive. Along with the tempura rice bowl, they served a combination of burdock and pickled ginger, as well as two types of pickles, which was a nice touch for those who enjoy condiments. I started by trying the Tendon Bara Don as it is. The tempura rice bowl was topped with bite-sized shrimp, squid, small fish, shiitake mushrooms, green peppers, and a soft-boiled egg. The sauce was not too strong, but had a pleasant sweetness. Breaking the egg tempura and enjoying its mild flavor was also delightful. Eating the bite-sized tempura pieces of shrimp, squid, and small fish with the rice was exceptionally delicious. The quality of the ingredients, the frying technique, and the sauce were all superb. The balance between the rice and tempura was just right. The tempura of shiitake mushrooms and green peppers allowed me to savor the deliciousness of the vegetables. Eating the pickled ginger, burdock, and pickles with the tempura enhanced the overall flavor. The miso soup with plenty of chopped trefoil was also delicious. The refreshing taste of the trefoil in the soup complemented the tempura bowl perfectly. Sprinkling black seven-spice powder on top added aroma and a kick to the dish. I thoroughly enjoyed the Tendon Bara Don and miso soup in perfect harmony. This set exceeded my expectations for the price of ¥1,500. I would definitely visit "Kanekoya" again when I am in Tamachi-Sanno.

Located in Akasaka, Tokyo, Tendon Kanekoya offers delicious tempura rice bowls. I visited the branch in Akasaka and tried their special "Tenbara-don" which includes bite-sized tempura with shrimp, squid, and small fish. The bowl also comes with mushrooms, onsen tamago (hot spring egg), and shishito peppers, making it a hearty meal. The rice is soaked in a sweet and salty sauce typical of tempura bowls, which pairs perfectly with the crispy tempura. Lunchtime can get crowded, so consider going a bit later for a more relaxed dining experience. #TendonKanekoyaAkasaka #TendonKanekoya #NihonbashiTendonKanekoya #Kanekoya #TempuraRiceBowl #Tempura #JapaneseFoodLunch #AkasakaLunch #AkasakaGourmet #Akasaka #TameikeSanoo #TameikeSanooLunch #TameikeSanooGourmet

When it comes to tempura rice bowls, they often have shrimp or vegetable tempura piled on top. However, this place serves tempura rice bowls with large scallops, each individually fried, along with plenty of shrimp. Additionally, there is tempura-fried egg which turns into egg rice when mixed. The portion size is not too big, making it a tempura rice bowl restaurant worth visiting again.

I visited the Hiyoshi Shrine at Tameike-Sanno and had no trouble getting in on a Saturday morning. I ordered the Tempura Bowl and Miso Soup set. The bowl was filled with small tempura pieces, and the taste and portion were satisfying. There was also a delicious side dish of pickled ginger and burdock root on each table. It was refreshing to eat in between bites of tempura, allowing me to enjoy the meal until the end.

I wasn't very hungry, but I stopped by for lunch. I ordered the Ume Tendon for 1200 yen. The shrimp was small, but the freshly fried tempura was delicious. I usually order the one with one eel on top, but eating that makes me feel like my stomach is going to burst, so maybe this amount is just right. The ginger-flavored burdock pickles were free, so I took some in a small dish and ate them as usual.

Arrived at 1:00 pm. The interior of the restaurant was bright and did not have a chain store feel, seeming to have various unique touches. Perfect for lunch! The portion of the tempura seemed quite large, so I asked for half the rice portion, but I was very satisfied, including the free side dishes.

I heard rumors that the Tendon (tempura rice bowl) at Tenbara Don is delicious, so I decided to stop by after a few months. The bite-sized squid and shrimp were easy to eat, and I was happy to see large tempura pieces like maitake mushrooms on top. It wasn't as heavy as other famous shops, so I could easily finish it all in one go! I will definitely go back again.

The tempura rice bowl here is delicious! A famous restaurant in Nihonbashi, Mr. Kaneko Hanzosuke. I used to frequent this place a lot because I love their tempura rice bowl. It used to be crowded, but after trying the tempura rice bowl here at Kanekoya, I started coming here more often than Hanzosuke. It's that good. It can get busy during lunchtime with people buying bento boxes, but if you avoid those hours, you can usually get in without waiting. Unlike a typical tempura rice bowl, the tempura pieces here are bite-sized, making it easy to eat. The subtle aroma of sesame oil whets your appetite, just like at Hanzosuke. Personally, I think this place is a superior alternative to Hanzosuke. I recommend it for both lunch and dinner. Thank you for the meal! (人´▽`)

This restaurant is famous for its Tempura Bara Don. It has a fragrant yuzu aroma and a soft-boiled egg at the bottom, making it enjoyable and delicious. The pickled ginger and burdock root offered as all-you-can-eat are also delicious. However, the portion size is a bit small, and the prices have become quite high. Paying 1400 yen for just the Tempura Bara dish feels quite expensive.

While exploring Tameike-Sanno Station, I came across a striking sign where anago (conger eel) was flying out of a bowl. I immediately entered the restaurant. Their specialty is the "Tenbara Don" which is a unique dish featuring anago, shiitake mushrooms, green peppers, onsen tamago (hot spring egg), bite-sized shrimp and squid, and small fish. They also offer unlimited servings of miso soup, ginger, and pickles in a large bowl, which is a nice touch. Additional tempura can be added starting from 200 yen, which is quite reasonable considering the local area. I feel like I have become a regular at this restaurant.

I arrived a little early for lunch and decided to visit this restaurant after a long time. Since it was 11:30, there were only about 3 customers ahead of me, so I could enter without any stress. By the time I left the restaurant after 12, there was already a line waiting to get in, so I think this time is the best. I couldn't decide between the tempura bowl and the tempura platter, but I ended up choosing the tempura platter based on the strong recommendation from the staff. Considering the price, taste, and portion size, I would say I am satisfied. They also offer take-out bento at a reasonable price, so I am thinking of getting one to go next time.

It has been several years since my last visit. First, let me list the good points here. ◎ Open for business all day ◎ Two types of pickles all-you-can-eat ◎ Surprisingly not too crowded ◎ Looks heavy but not as heavy as it seems ◎ Tastes better than Tenya ◎ Only 1-2 minutes walk from the station. The downside is that the white fish has a slight odor and the shrimp has little meat. The taste is solid for a chain restaurant.

I visited on a regular night. The place is located on the first floor of a building on the left side after turning right at the first intersection from exit 10 of Tameike-Sanno Station towards Ark Hills. It's on a slightly calm street. Today I attended a concert at Suntory Hall by the NHK Symphony Orchestra. Conducted by J. Noseda, with violin by Sayaka Shoji. The pieces performed were Bach (arr. Respighi) / Three Chorales Respighi / Gregorian Chant Concerto Rachmaninoff / Symphony No. 1 All were first-time listens for me. Rachmaninoff's piece was quite earthy (rough?). However, themes of the Day of Wrath were subtly present throughout, and hints of symphonic dance were also present, showcasing Rachmaninoff's style. Was it interesting? That's debatable, but the orchestra's performance was fantastic. Respighi, on the other hand, had its own style but was a bit boring. Now, before the concert, I decided to grab a bite to eat. I wondered if this was a sister store of Kaneko Hanzo, and entered with that thought in mind. The store was empty when I arrived (2 groups came in later), and I took a seat at the counter. The staff (the owner?) placed two jars on the counter. I ordered the Tempura Bowl with Miso Soup Set for 1,700 yen after looking at the menu on the counter. The jars contained pickles - radish pickles in the red jar and ginger and burdock pickles in the black jar. I tried both, and while I preferred the latter, the mild taste of the former was also appealing. It took about 8 minutes for the food to be served, handed to me directly from the kitchen. First, I tried the miso soup. The finely chopped green onions were beautiful, and the tofu miso soup had a rich flavor. It was delicious. Now, onto the tempura bowl. The ingredients included conger eel, 2 shrimp, seaweed, green pepper, sweet potato, and egg. Unlike other tempura bowls, this one had egg in all pieces. Personally, I'm not sure about egg tempura. I believe tempura is about savoring the texture of the ingredients, but is egg suitable for tempura? I'm not a fan of the runny yolk dripping onto the rice. Why were the sweet potatoes sliced so thin? The shrimp provided a nice crunch and firmness, while the conger eel could have had more texture. Overall, the slightly sweet and light tempura sauce didn't quite complement the batter well (didn't quite match). The miso soup and pickles, on the other hand, were enjoyable. I was impressed by the tempura bowl at Kaneko Hanzo in Lazona Kawasaki, but this one was just okay. Still, I'm grateful that you can have a tempura bowl in the heart of Tokyo for around a thousand yen. With its small eatery vibe, it seems like a place where you can enjoy tempura with some drinks. Thank you for the meal.

Kinoshita Hanzo series. There were only two customers when I arrived at around 6 pm on a weekday, so I could easily get a seat. I ordered the bara tempura bowl with conger eel, shiitake mushrooms, green pepper, soft-boiled egg, and shrimp and squid tempura. The difference between this and a regular tempura bowl is the presence of conger eel. The tempura was fried perfectly, with a light and crispy batter. The tempura in the bara bowl was not like typical mixed tempura, so there was no risk of the ingredients becoming tough or the batter not being fully cooked. The shrimp and squid tempura were both tender and delicious. The sauce for the bowl was flavorful and complemented the rice well. However, I noticed that this time there was grated ginger sprinkled on top of the rice, which felt a bit out of place. While I understand it may be to add a refreshing touch, the fibrous texture and spiciness of the ginger disrupted the balance of the bowl for me. Personally, I think it would be better without it. I would prefer if they provided something like sudachi citrus for me to add myself for a hint of fragrance and freshness during the meal. It may be more work, but I would appreciate the option.

In Akasaka, if you're looking for a great tempura bowl, look no further than Kanekoya. Their tempura bowl is filled with fresh shrimp, squid, and small fish, topped with mushrooms, green peppers, and a hot spring egg, all drizzled with a special sweet and savory sauce. The key to its popularity is the ability to enjoy three different flavors in one bowl. 1. Start by eating the mushrooms at 12 o'clock, moving towards 6 o'clock. 2. Once you've eaten about half, break the hot spring egg in the middle and mix it in. 3. The top half is garnished with sliced ginger in a crescent moon shape, so be sure to eat it with the ginger. Give it a try. Today's order: Tempura bowl with miso soup set for 1,500 yen. Thank you for the meal! Have a wonderful day!

Today's Poteranchi → [First] Tempura in bite-sized pieces in a Tempura Bowl, the concept is interesting but personally I wanted a bit more punch and excitement from the bite-sized pieces. No repeat ☔️. I ordered the "Tenbara Don" which is said to have bite-sized tempura pieces instead of a regular Tempura Bowl. Before it was served, I had some pickled burdock and ginger, but I'm not a fan of ginger... Visually, there are indeed bite-sized tempura pieces scattered throughout, including shrimp, squid, and small fish. While they are easy to eat, there wasn't much excitement otherwise. In the center, there is a tempura egg hidden, which adds a creamy texture when smashed and spread over the whole dish. The enoki mushrooms in the back have a nice balance of crispy outside and crunchy inside. The shishito pepper didn't leave much of an impression. What caught my attention was that there was ginger inside the tempura, but I'm not a fan of ginger... I always wonder why there is ginger in dishes like sushi or seafood bowls. Is it for palate cleansing? Personally, I felt that the sauce could use a bit more punch. I tried adding black seven spice, but unfortunately, the result remained the same. The concept of making it bite-sized is interesting, but I wanted more excitement beyond just ease of eating. With this, it doesn't seem necessary for it to be called a "Tenbara Don."

The tempura restaurant is open during the day and at night, even on weekends. They have both counter and table seating, and also offer takeout service, so Uber delivery drivers come in and out frequently. I ordered the tempura with shiitake mushrooms and it was served freshly fried. While waiting, I enjoyed some black bean tea and complimentary burdock root. The tempura was delicious, with a half-cooked egg that I mixed in, and a hint of yuzu zest for flavor. I also sprinkled some shichimi spice for extra kick. The shiitake mushrooms were juicy, and the tempura included shrimp, pumpkin, sweet potato, and green peppers, making it a filling and satisfying meal. I left feeling full and satisfied.

I had the tempura rice bowl for lunch. You can add miso soup for an extra 100 yen. It came with 2 shrimp. It was delicious, but towards the end, it started to feel a bit heavy with oil. It was a bit tough for me in my 40s. The cost performance was average. The service was good!
