A restaurant located in Takatsuki City, Osaka Prefecture, about a 20-minute walk from Kamimaki Station. Despite its disadvantageous location, the restaurant has a rating of 3.60 at the time of visit. However, it is only open three days a week during lunch hours, making it quite challenging to visit. The current price for their tempura bowl is 1500 yen, but considering the generous portion of tempura served, it seems reasonable. The tempura is not greasy, with a variety of ingredients like enoki mushrooms, shrimp, potatoes, onions, and eggplant. It is recommended to eat the tempura with salt, although extra sauce can be added for free. The side dishes and cold soup served are also delicious, showcasing the chef's skill. One downside is the slow turnover rate, resulting in a long wait outside without shade, especially during hot weather. Overall, the tempura is tasty, but consuming such a large portion with just salt may be heavy on the stomach.

It has been a while since I visited a "tempura bowl specialty shop". While many shops serve the tempura and rice separately, this shop insists on serving only "tempura bowl". The reason for this is something you have to experience yourself, but eating tempura while enjoying the rice underneath, along with the flavorful broth, makes the dining experience unique. The dishes at this shop are a must-try, as they are truly delicious. I ordered the "Autumn Special Tempura Bowl" which consisted of shrimp, matsutake mushrooms, white fish, eel, and three kinds of vegetables on a bed of rice. The tempura was crispy and fresh, with large delicious shrimp and a nice combination of ingredients. The quality of the ingredients is high, and the vegetables taste fresh. Even though the shop has limited opening days and hours, and there is often a wait, I will definitely visit again. I will try my luck and hope to enjoy another wonderful dining experience.

Osaka Takatsuki "Heiemon" is a popular tempura bowl restaurant in Takatsuki! It's located in a remote area that you wouldn't pass by if you didn't know about it. When I arrived before noon, it was full with a waiting list of 2 groups. I waited in the car and they called me when a table was ready, which was convenient! The tempura bowl in large size costs 1700 yen including tax, which had been raised in price. It used to be 1200 yen for a large size tempura bowl. However, the enoki mushrooms that look like fans or blooming flowers are always amazing! The skill of frying lightly is incredible! There are two shrimp tails, pumpkin, eggplant, shiso leaves, onions hidden under the enoki mushrooms. The rice with a little sauce and sprinkled seaweed is also delicious! You can choose to pour sauce over the tempura. The base is usually sprinkled with salt. #Large parking lot for 6 cars #Expect a wait, go when you have extra time! #Open on Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri from 11:00 to 14:30 #The interior is clean #There are tatami mat seating #Takatsuki gourmet #Takatsuki lunch #Osaka gourmet #Osaka lunch #Tempura bowl #Tempura lovers

Hidden in an unexpected location, there is a delicious yet elusive tempura bowl restaurant. To overcome the hurdles of visiting this place, you will need good timing and luck, as it is quite a distance away despite being nearby. The restaurant is not easy to find, so you'll need to check the map. Despite its remote location, the restaurant has a decent number of customers, which speaks to its quality. The menu is simple, offering tempura bowls, egg and rice bowls, and seasonal limited-time dishes. This time, I opted for the egg and rice bowl since I had the tempura bowl last time. The tempura bowl was generously topped with salt, giving it a satisfying crunch. I savored each bite of the Enoki mushroom tempura and dug into the egg and rice bowl. The shrimp tempura was richly flavored and complemented by the egg. The tempura was crispy, allowing the natural flavors of the ingredients to shine through. I highly recommend this restaurant if you can overcome the hurdles and try the seasonal matsutake mushroom dish in the fall.

I was guided to the visit counter at 11:40 on Tuesday. Several customers were guided to the back tatami room. I ordered the large size tendon for 1,700 yen, the regular size is 1,500 yen. It seems like the price went up as it was written as 1,100 yen on Tabelog. When it came out, I was surprised! The enoki tempura spread out like a peacock! It has a great texture and is lightly seasoned with salt, so you can enjoy it refreshing. If you want to change the flavor, you can also pour the sauce from the small cup. All the tempura pieces were large and fried in high-quality oil, so they were all delicious.

⭐Tendon (large serving) @ Tempura restaurant Heimon in Takatsuki, Osaka Address: 2-18-5 Michiucho, Takatsuki, Osaka Nearest Station: Kamimaki Station - 30 minutes on foot Closed: Saturdays, Sundays, Mondays, and Public Holidays Contact: 072-669-1267 Visited for the first time on a weekday afternoon in June 2023. This tendon restaurant is located in a residential area away from the station, and it only operates during weekday afternoons, making it quite popular. Arrived at 11:55 and was informed of a 4-group wait. After indicating that I was willing to wait, I parked my car and waited inside for 20 minutes until I was called in at 12:15. I sat at the end of the L-shaped counter where I could witness the tempura-making process up close. The specialty enoki mushroom tempura was a sight to behold, made in batches of 4 servings each. After observing two batches, my tendon dish was finally ready at 12:45. ⭐Tendon (large serving) - ¥1700 The tendon arrived with vegetable and shrimp tempura, with the signature enoki mushroom tempura placed on top. The enoki mushroom tempura was impressively large, resembling a peacock with spread wings. It was so big that I couldn't eat it without a separate plate for the tempura pieces. The tempura included enoki mushroom, 2 shrimp, 2 onion rings, 2 shiso leaves, a long sweet potato tempura, and a long eggplant tempura. The tempura was lightly salted, a unique twist that allowed the freshness of the vegetables to shine through. The enoki mushroom tempura was a standout, with its delicate texture and flavor enhancing the rice and other tempura pieces. For those who prefer, there was also a side of dipping sauce available. The tempura pieces were generously sized, making them satisfying to eat. The vegetables were particularly delicious, and the enoki mushroom tempura was a standout. As I progressed through the meal, I tried drizzling some sauce over the tempura, which added another layer of flavor. In addition to the tendon dish, the meal also included pickles, a small side dish, and a clear soup. The pickles had a delightful kombu flavor, and the unexpected "tomato tofu" side dish at the end was surprisingly delicious. Overall, every aspect of the meal was exceptional, and I left feeling satisfied and impressed.

I had been interested in this place for a while, but I knew they only open for lunch on weekdays. I had been thinking of taking a day off to visit, and then I realized, "Oh, today is a weekday!" and decided to go. I arrived just 6 minutes before opening and was able to get a table right away. After that, there was a line of over 10 groups waiting. This year's Golden Week holiday was a continuous break, so I went with my mother. We ordered the tempura bowl and tempura and egg bowl. The tempura in each bowl was slightly different: Tempura Bowl - Shiso leaf tempura, enoki mushroom tempura, onion tempura x2, eggplant tempura, sweet potato tempura, shrimp tempura x2. Tempura and Egg Bowl - Shiso leaf tempura, enoki mushroom tempura, shiitake mushroom tempura, onion tempura x2, eggplant tempura, chicken tempura, shrimp tempura x2. Both were delicious, but personally I preferred the Tempura and Egg Bowl. The miso soup with bamboo shoots and junsai was a nice touch. The tempura wasn't greasy, and my mother was very satisfied with the delicious tempura bowl. Just a small note... despite the busyness and challenges, the service staff seemed a bit uncoordinated, and the head chef's frustration was palpable. It was a bit off-putting to see them visibly frustrated in front of customers, which dampened the mood a bit while waiting for our food. It would be appreciated if they could avoid this when customers are present. I understand that it's a busy and tough job, but we are rooting for them.

I visited the restaurant after 11 o'clock, and there were already three customers inside. The menu only had two options: tendon and tentoji don. I ordered tendon for 1100 yen, and for an additional 100 yen, I could have a large portion of rice. The tempura was made right in front of me, and I could enjoy it freshly fried. There was no background music in the restaurant, only the sound of tempura frying, which added to the anticipation of the meal. The tempura was seasoned with salt and could be eaten without any sauce. A small amount of sauce was provided in a small cup. Personally, I thought the flavor was a bit light, and I would have preferred more sauce. Maybe it would have been even better with tempura dipping sauce? However, the amount of tempura was quite generous, with enoki mushrooms, eggplant, sweet potato, two pieces of onion, and two shrimp. The rice was piled so high that it was a bit difficult to eat (laughs). In addition to the tendon, the meal also came with red miso soup with nameko mushrooms and pickles, which was very nice. I enjoyed it until the end. It was also great to have condiments like sansho pepper and shichimi for flavor variation. I heard that the prices will increase from April of Reiwa 5 (2023). The tendon will go from 1100 yen to 1500 yen, and the tentoji don will go from 1300 yen to 1800 yen. It was delicious, and I would like to go back before the price increase to try the tentoji don. Thank you for the meal.

Today I visited the popular tempura rice bowl restaurant, Hirouemon, in Takatsuki City. I arrived around 2 pm and had to wait for over 30 minutes to order, as it is a popular spot. The tempura is freshly fried, so it takes some time to prepare, but it's worth the wait. I was torn on what to order, but ended up choosing the tempura rice bowl. The bowl arrived beautifully garnished with enoki mushrooms. It had a light sprinkling of salt, but you can add sauce to your liking. I personally prefer tempura with salt, but I felt it was a bit lacking in flavor. Additionally, there were a lot of vegetables in the bowl, including onions, eggplant, sweet potatoes, enoki mushrooms, and shrimp. The vegetables seemed to have absorbed a lot of oil, which was a bit disappointing.

The tempura was crispy and delicious, especially towards the end. It was seasoned with salt, allowing you to enjoy the true flavor of tempura while eating. The tempura bowl, which comes with a small amount of sauce, allows for flavor variation. Once you start using the sauce, you'll want to add more, so you can request additional sauce. It's definitely worth a repeat visit.

Osaka Takatsuki "Heiemon" is a restaurant known for its delicious and fragrant enoki mushroom tempura on its tempting tendon dish. I arrived at 11:10 AM and the restaurant was empty, but soon after, customers started coming in. This was my second visit, and I was impressed by how clean everything was, from the pots and oil to the counter and ventilation system. The staff were friendly and welcoming. The tendon dish, priced at 1100 yen including tax, was served after a 15-minute wait. The dish was beautifully presented with enoki mushrooms resembling a samurai helmet, along with shiso leaves, eggplant, pumpkin, two slices of onion, two shrimp, and a deliciously seasoned salt. The dipping sauce served in a small cup was also tasty. Additionally, the miso soup with vegetables was excellent. The regular portion was filling and satisfying. The restaurant has parking space for 6 cars, is closed on Sundays, Mondays, and public holidays, and operates from 11 AM to 2:30 PM. Reservations are accepted from 2 PM to 4 PM. Takeout and delivery services are not available. #OsakaGourmet #TakatsukiGourmet #TakatsukiLunch #LunchSpecialtyStore #TempuraRestaurant #Heiemon #EnokiMushroomTempura #ShrimpTempura #MenuConsistsOnlyofTempuraBowls

I was curious after seeing a friend post photos on social media, so I decided to go to the store nearby by bike. I arrived around 11:30 and was seated at the counter right away. More customers kept coming in. The menu was very simple - just tempura rice bowl or tempura rice bowl with egg. I ordered the tempura rice bowl. I watched as the vegetables were fried in a large pot right in front of me over the counter, especially the enoki mushrooms that spread out like a large fan. There were even two shrimp! The freshly fried tempura had a crispy and crunchy texture. It was seasoned with salt, so I enjoyed eating it as is at first, then with the dipping sauce to taste the difference. It was still delicious even after it cooled down. The miso soup had water shield in it! It had been a long time since I last ate water shield. The broth was also delicious. The small side dish looked like sesame tofu, but the color was different. Could it be tomato-flavored? Despite eating such a large portion of tempura, I didn't feel heavy in my stomach at all. It was truly delicious.

Arrived at 10:57, nobody was there. The shutters were completely closed... Oh no, seriously? Please spare me... Could it be closed today? I parked my car and stood in front of the store for 2-3 minutes in a daze, then I heard voices from inside the store. When I checked the time, it was exactly 11 o'clock! The shutters opened up~ Phew~ I was relieved~ They really made me anxious, normally they would have opened the shutters halfway... Why were they completely closed, and right until 11 o'clock... I was so relieved that I unintentionally said, "Phew, I thought you were closed and got worried~" haha. Anyway, I sat at the counter and said, "I'll have the tempura bowl, please♪" Of course, no other guests, and no background music in the store. I could only hear the sound of tempura being fried. After 8 minutes, it arrived~ It was a huge portion, amazing! I came all the way to Takatsuki just to eat this♪ First, I had the boiled vegetables and soup, so delicious~ The gentle taste of the broth was wonderful~ The main dish, the bowl, had plenty of tempura, with 2 shrimp and lots of vegetable tempura. The tempura was crispy and not greasy at all, very light! And what's great is that this tempura bowl is lightly seasoned with salt, so if you like more flavor, you can pour the broth over it. This is the best, no complaints, it's totally my style~♬ Even after eating the side dishes and soup, I could tell that they can make various dishes here, but they intentionally focus on tempura bowls. The place is extremely clean and seems like they trained in a traditional and disciplined environment. I would love to eat this again and again! But it's so far away! Too far! There's nothing around here! Why did they choose this location? Even people from Takatsuki would find it inconvenient, right? But 100% I'll definitely come back!! haha

This restaurant only has two menu options: "tendon" and "tendon with egg." It seems like driving there would be the best option for access. I ordered the tendon that caught my eye in the photos. They fry the tempura after you order, so you can enjoy it hot and fresh! Thank you for the meal!

First time at this restaurant. I had the tempura bowl for ¥1,100. The enoki mushrooms were a pleasant surprise, so crispy! The shrimp was delicious and had a nice texture. Personally, I loved the sweet flavor of the eggplant and onion the most. I definitely want to try the tempura with egg on top next time.

Located in Michi-cho, Takatsuki City, Osaka Prefecture, the popular tempura rice bowl restaurant "Tendon Heemon" offers a simple menu consisting of basic tempura rice bowls and tempura and egg rice bowls. The restaurant is closed on Saturdays, Sundays, Mondays, and public holidays, and only open on weekdays from 11:00 to 14:30. The restaurant is situated off the main road, with no other dining options nearby, surrounded by residential areas and rice fields, making it quite a unique location. As a regular office worker, it was quite challenging for me to visit this restaurant, but I finally managed to make my first visit on a day when I could take a day off. The restaurant is about a 30-minute walk from the nearest station, Kanmaki Station, which is a bit far from the station. There is a parking lot in front of the restaurant. I visited the restaurant on a Thursday, shortly after it opened at 11:00. At that time, there were only two other customers inside, and the restaurant was quite empty. I was curious about the tempura and egg rice bowl, but since it was my first visit, I decided to order the basic tempura rice bowl. The tempura rice bowl costs 1100 yen (tax included). The most striking feature of the dish was the huge tempura made of enoki mushrooms, which opened up like a peacock or a fan. In addition to the large enoki mushrooms, there was one slice each of large sweet potato and eggplant, two pieces each of large shrimp and shishito peppers, and two slightly thick slices of onion, making it a luxurious dish. The tempura is seasoned with salt, and if it is too light, you can dip it in a separate dish of sweet and rich sashimi soy sauce-like sauce. The rice is topped with a sauce similar to tempura dipping sauce, and sprinkled with chopped seaweed on top. The tempura had a crispy texture, with a perfect balance of saltiness that enhances the flavor of the ingredients, making it very delicious. Each piece of tempura was delicious, but the enoki mushrooms were particularly unique. They had a crunchy texture and a fragrant taste, despite being fried in plenty of oil, they did not feel heavy. The onion was also tender and sweet, and I dipped it slightly in the sauce before eating. I finished everything, including the slightly slimy junsai in the miso soup and the well-seasoned pickles, which were all delicious and made me wish I had ordered a larger portion. I definitely want to revisit the restaurant to try the tempura and egg rice bowl. They also have seasonal limited-time menu items such as tempura rice bowls with kakiage (mixed vegetable and seafood tempura) and cold tempura tea set in the summer, and autumn special tempura rice bowls and tempura and egg rice bowls made with matsutake mushrooms in the fall. Thank you for the meal!

I had been wanting to go to this restaurant for a long time, and about 2 months ago, I went there once, but it was closed, maybe due to the influence of the coronavirus. Towards the end of October, on a weekday around lunchtime, I thought it should be open by now, right? And indeed, it was open today! I parked my car in the parking lot in front of the restaurant, and as soon as I stepped out of the car, there was a pleasant aroma of matsutake mushrooms in the air. When you smell such a fragrance, you just have to order the special tempura rice bowl. I sat at the counter, checked the menu, and it said "Tempura rice bowl with matsutake mushroom and egg topping." I usually don't order tempura rice bowls, but when it's written with matsutake mushrooms, it's a must! The autumn special tempura rice bowl was brought to me, and the strong aroma of matsutake mushrooms filled the air. Just looking at it made me crave it even more. The tempura had a crispy texture, and despite its appearance, it was easy to finish. The shrimp was plump, the eel and white fish were light and delicious, and the vegetable tempura was so tasty that even those who don't like vegetables would enjoy it. The tempura with matsutake mushrooms had a surprisingly strong aroma of matsutake. The egg and matsutake topping was so delicious that I almost felt guilty eating it with rice. I definitely want to come back to eat this again... no, I mean, I will definitely come back. That's the determination I made at this restaurant.

Today, I was finally able to visit the tempura bowl restaurant I had been wanting to go to. It was empty, which was super lucky. The opening days are stated as Tuesday to Friday, but it seemed like they might have other days off because whenever I passed by, it was usually closed. As for the taste, it was so crispy and delicious. I was a bit worried about being able to finish all the rice since I was feeling a bit hungover, but the tasty flavor and just the right amount of rice made it easy to eat. The shrimp and vegetables were of high quality, especially the sweet potato which had a nice crunch but was still easy to eat. I think it's a great restaurant where you can think, "If you're going to eat tempura bowl, go to this place." There are multiple parking spaces available, so you can go by car or it's near the last bus stop, so it's a bit inconvenient but still accessible.

Today, I stayed at home as a COVID-19 precaution, well, not really at home though (laughs). Avoiding crowds, I set off to get a new manhole card in Shimamoto Town. Drove on local roads, safely got the new manhole card. Satisfied. Came to Takatsuki area. Should I have ramen? Oh, they also have tempura bowls. Checked their business hours on the phone, and decided to go without waiting in line. Oh, the parking lot is empty, got a seat at the counter without waiting. I was planning on getting a tempura bowl, but ended up choosing the autumn special tempura bowl. Shrimp, shrimp and matsutake mushroom tempura, white fish, conger eel, and 3 types of vegetables for 1500 yen. There were 4 customers in the tatami room, 2 groups of 2 at the counter, and then me. Waited a bit, and the tempura arrived. The enoki tempura was as big as ever, and the shrimp tempura with matsutake mushroom was great. Wrapped the white fish in shiso leaf, and the green pepper and pumpkin were delicious too. Could have gone for seconds of rice? Started eating, but got full by the end. Worth it. Oh, by the time I finished eating, there was a line. Thank you for the meal.

Visited a tempura rice bowl restaurant in Takatsuki after about 2 years. The counter was as clean as always. I usually only had their tempura rice bowls, so I planned to try the tempura and egg rice bowl this time. But then, they had a "limited autumn menu"! I don't remember seeing this 2 years ago, they only had tempura rice bowls and tempura and egg rice bowls, I think... So, I postponed the tempura and egg rice bowl for next time and went for the special autumn tempura rice bowl. It was different from the regular tempura rice bowl, with shrimp, shrimp and matsutake mushroom tempura, white fish wrapped in shiso leaves, thick anago, pumpkin about 2cm thick, shishito pepper, and enoki mushrooms spread out like a fan. The tempura rice bowl was served with a little sauce on the rice and salt sprinkled on the tempura. The shrimp wrapped in matsutake was delicious, but I particularly liked the enoki mushroom tempura.

In Takatsuki, there is a famous tempura rice bowl specialty restaurant called "Tendon Heiemon." The menu includes tempura rice bowls, tempura and egg rice bowls, and seasonal special selections. This time, I ordered the large serving of tempura and egg rice bowl and was surprised when it arrived. Just this dish alone filled me up completely. The tempura included a thick eggplant tempura as the centerpiece, with enoki mushrooms spread out like a peacock on both sides. Beneath them were shiitake mushrooms, onions, and two shrimp each. After carefully transferring all the tempura to a prepared plate to prevent them from falling, a large serving of egg and rice with egg topping peeked out from the bottom. This came with soup and pickles. I ordered the large serving without knowing the default portion size, so I need to stop this habit. I couldn't finish the enoki mushroom, so I had my junior colleague eat it... Tempura and Egg Rice Bowl, Large Serving, 1,300 yen (Add 100 yen for a large serving)
