Located about a 5-minute walk north of JR Temma Station in a market, there is a restaurant called Tsubo-Ten Temma-ten. It is a kushikatsu restaurant run by the head chef who used to work at Kushikatsu no Bo, a branch of Kushikatsu restaurant in Esaka. The prices for kushikatsu range from 80 yen to 400 yen per skewer. The kushikatsu here is known for its large size and light, crispy texture, allowing you to enjoy the deliciousness of the ingredients. There are also creative kushikatsu dishes that show attention to detail. The atmosphere of the restaurant is different from what you would expect in a market, which adds to the charm of the place. It's a great spot to relax and enjoy a meal in Temma.Visited in November 2020: On this day, I decided to have a drink in Temma. A kushikatsu restaurant that's not your typical casual spot? Let's check it out. So, I headed to Tsubo-Ten. Despite being located in Temma Market, the restaurant has a more sophisticated atmosphere compared to other places in the area. Since I'm not a big fan of Temma, this was a pleasant surprise. I started with a draft beer and some crunchy vegetable sticks. Then, I went all out and ordered the Tsubo-Ten Course for 3200 yen, which includes 15 skewers. The course included various skewers such as shrimp with shiso, beef fillet, shiitake mushroom, oyster, watercress, asparagus, tofu wrapped in yuba, palate cleanser (dried young sardines with grated daikon), crab with kisu fish roll, ginkgo nut, kisu fish, lotus root, chicken breast with spicy cod roe, marinated sea bream, pumpkin cream, and an additional shrimp skewer. I also added ox tongue stew for 180 yen and chicken wings for 180 yen. I ate a lot as usual, but the kushikatsu here is so good. The crispy texture and light oiliness make it easy to keep eating. The way they fry the skewers to lock in the flavor of the ingredients is excellent. The larger skewers like the shrimp with shiso and beef fillet provide a satisfying bite. There are also creative dishes like the tofu and yuba skewer, which combines tofu, enoki mushrooms, pork, yuba, and miso butter for a fun texture. The ox tongue stew with demi-glace sauce and the chicken wings wrapped in shiso were unexpectedly elaborate. The marinated sea bream with kombu showcased the natural flavor of the ingredients. I had about five drinks, kept it modest, and the total bill came to around 6000 yen, which is quite reasonable considering the quality and portion size of the kushikatsu. The restaurant's unique atmosphere and convenience make it a great choice in Temma. Thank you for the meal.
