- Avoiding the ultraviolet rays in the city warfare, on the way back after encountering "Kyuba Bridge River Alliance", next to it is a Japanese restaurant "Takao", which has a disappearing traditional Japanese restaurant feel. Despite feeling like they had control over everything near the base, there are still unidentified lunch spots out there. The feeling of nostalgia for the old Showa-style Japanese restaurants that have recently become scarce... Remembering and feeling revitalized, it was a day filled with energy = Southward deployment to avoid the sunlight from the south, choosing the east-west route for sun exposure. Here we are. "Tenpura and Skewered Takao" with "Takao Shokusai-ya Honpo" written below the store name. I have no idea what that means... Lunch menu: - Tenpura set meal A - Ten don - Large special shrimp don 1100 - Ten don - Anago don 1100 - Shrimp and anago don 1100 - Upper tenpura set meal 1400 - Grilled fish and tenpura 1450 Other set meals - Seasonal grilled fish set meal 1100 - Menchi katsu set meal 1100 - Crab cream croquette 1000 - Mix set meal 1000 All lunch items come with free rice and miso soup refills. The "Megaphone Salaryman" feels like you can be full with just one bill. "Upper Tenpura Set Meal" and "Mixed Fry Set Meal" come with ten-tsuyu sauce for the tenpura. Some restaurants have started skipping this. The sauce comes with plenty of grated daikon radish. There was a mention of "large shrimp", but in these times, it's better not to take it at face value. The shrimp in the tenpura is of a decent size. I love shrimp tenpura, but if they are too small, it feels a bit lonely, doesn't it? People who eat less seem to prefer the lower part these days. They eat the tail part. They seem to be considerate of the payers, but they insist on eating the tail part. I'll gladly eat the vegetables if there are leftovers, that's my style. The rice here is the usual white rice, but my partner doesn't eat it at all. So, it's automatically rice for me. Even though the rice is free for refills, I can't have more than 1.5 servings if there isn't enough side dishes. The fish didn't leave much of an impression, it was just average. The person who eats less gave some feedback... - Cream Croquette: It's so smooth and creamy, hot and crispy on the outside, and soft on the inside. When you pick it up with chopsticks and take a bite, the cream inside melts and it's delicious. It goes well with rice. - Menchi Katsu: It's easy to eat with lots of onions and a slightly sweet flavor. You can't really taste the meat, but it's easy to eat with two large pieces. - Tenpura: The shrimp had too much batter, so the taste of the shrimp was lost. The squid was tender, the horse mackerel was large and fluffy, and the eggplant, green pepper, and pumpkin were delicious. The daikon radish in the dessert glass was served separately. The glass was well-chilled, showing attention to detail. - Miso Soup: It was slightly less salty and easy to drink. You could taste the miso, and there were some tofu and seaweed. - Tea: When they brought it, they kept emphasizing how hot it was. I finally understood why - it was so hot that you couldn't hold the tea cup with your bare hands. The lady who brought it was amazing. - Rice: It wasn't too soft, which was nice. I ordered a small portion, but it was still quite a lot. The service was good. This was my first visit to the restaurant, and it was a safe entry into the unknown. For me, the highlight was being able to enjoy both tempura and fry at the same time. Thank you for the meal.

Is this the last one? The menu is the same, but the "tempura set meal" is consistently delicious, so I always order it!! The vegetables here are also delicious! The green peppers and eggplants are tasty! The fish today was also thick and delicious!! I wonder if I can come back here again someday? Kuwacchi Sabitan.

I visited here, "Takao", to have various conversations with my cute junior. We talked about work, life, and various other things. It made me feel a little lonely... I wish we had more opportunities to talk like this. Today, the tempura tasted good. I hope my juniors will do their best for themselves and their families! Kwatci Sabitan.

I went to "Takao" to eat tempura. My usual seat was taken, so I sat at the counter in the back. I had shrimp, sweet potato, squid, horse mackerel, and a bonus daikon tempura. The daikon tempura had a rich flavor. Everything was delicious.

I visit Koko Takao-san about 3 or 4 times a month. I saw their post yesterday and decided to go today. I had the usual tempura set meal. The restaurant was a bit crowded, but that's a good sign. My usual seat was taken, so I sat at the far end of the counter. The sea bream and bell peppers were delicious today! The pumpkin was also very sweet. I enjoyed my meal a lot. I will definitely come back again.

After several years, I visited a tempura restaurant. The portions were still generous as ever. - Order: - Tempura Rice Bowl (with mixed tempura of shrimp, vegetables) for 1100 yen The vegetables were eggplant. The tempura included small shrimp, squid, and onions. The squid had a nice chewy texture. There were plenty of small shrimp, making it a good deal. The slightly burnt parts of the tempura batter were fragrant. The portion size was large, but the oil might be a bit heavy for some. If you don't like greasy food, be aware. - Miscellaneous notes: Lunch sets around 1000 yen are common and a good deal due to the generous portions. Next time, I want to try the tempura set meal instead of the tempura rice bowl.

Once every 10 years, there is a big cold wave!! Even on the way to Takao, I can feel the cold wave... It's so cold!! The usual tempura set... Today it's relatively empty... Tempura keeps coming one after another... Delicious! The eggplant today is particularly fresh and delicious!! The sea bream is so fluffy and delicious again!! Thank you for the complimentary shrimp (as always) - delicious! The bell pepper is thick and delicious!! You can enjoy delicious vegetables here too! I will visit again!

There were various reasons and it's been a while since I last visited Takao-san!! Every time I see tempura on TV at the end of the year, I think about going there. So today, I finally went! Wow, there were quite a few customers!! That's a good thing. I ordered the tempura set and waited. One group after another came in, and a few had to be turned away. One group had to wait outside! It was so crowded that the tempura service was a bit slow. I received a complimentary shrimp and probably an extra eggplant. (I couldn't say they made a mistake after they were placed in front of me, so I'll just accept them.) It was a satisfying lunch. I will visit again.

At night, Takao-san offers a 3,800 yen course meal with all-you-can-drink option, which is a great deal. The all-you-can-drink menu includes bottled beer, assorted sashimi, and assorted grilled skewers. I enjoyed drinking beer for a while and then switched to all-you-can-drink oolong highballs. The grilled mackerel was a pleasant surprise, served individually. The alcohol was served after the salad, followed by tempura and a reservation-only soba soup. Both the food and drinks were delicious. Thank you for the feast! (Sorry, I forgot to take photos of the drinks and soba)

I arrived at Tempura Takao for lunch around 12:20pm and was able to enter immediately. I was seated at a table and ordered the Mix Set Meal for 900 yen, which included 2 menchi and 2 kanikoro. First, I was served tea and pickles. The Mix Set Meal arrived after about 10 minutes. I started with the menchi, pouring sauce over it. It was thin but hot and delicious. The kanikoro was also tasty. The portion of rice was generous, and I left feeling satisfied. Thank you for the meal!

On a regular day, I headed to Takao-san for lunch and arrived around 12:15. I was seated at the counter right away as I was dining alone. I ordered the tempura rice bowl for 1,000 yen. Green tea and pickles were served first, followed shortly by the tempura rice bowl and miso soup. The food came out quickly, within 5 minutes. When I opened the lid, I found shrimp, squid, and whiting fish with 3 types of vegetables - bell peppers, eggplant, and pumpkin. The tempura was piled high on top, almost hiding the rice underneath due to its generous portion. I enjoyed the hot tempura and rice, alternating between the two. It was delicious, and I finished every last bite. Oh, it was so tasty! Thank you for the meal!

On payday weekend, I decided to treat myself to a delicious lunch at Takao-san for some tempura. I ordered my usual tempura set meal, which is always best enjoyed at the counter where you can have it freshly fried. Due to the impact of COVID-19, it seems like making reservations for year-end parties is still uncertain. I can't wait to be able to drink without any worries! Today, I also had some kiss fish and an extra shrimp. Thank you very much. The kind owner always serves delicious food. Thank you as always. I will definitely visit again.

Lately, it's all about cashless payments instead of cash! It's great when places accept PayPay! Takao-san is convenient because they accept PayPay. The tempura is delicious too! No complaints! I enjoyed it today as well. The eggplant was so fresh today. I will definitely visit again.

I think tempura would be good for lunch in Kuramae. Takao's tempura is light and not heavy, so you won't feel stuffed!! The portion of rice is generous and satisfying!! It will be a fulfilling lunch!! Today's kisu (fish) was also fluffy and very delicious. I saw someone ordering the conger eel bowl, and I think that was the right choice! I will definitely visit again.

I visited again, Takao-san! The taste that I always crave for at lunchtime! Light yet satisfying deliciousness! Today, I had the tempura set meal again! Pumpkin, shrimp... delicious! Squid, and a complimentary daikon radish! Daikon radish! I tried it right away... tempura-fried daikon radish soaked in broth! It was my first time trying it, and it was delicious! Kiss?? No, it's conger eel! It's big! This was also a complimentary dish! Thank you for the service many times. Eggplant, bell pepper, squid! I enjoyed it very much today as well. Thank you for the meal. I will visit again.

I visited this tempura restaurant after a long time. It's a reliable place near my office that always serves delicious tempura. I ordered the usual tempura set meal. Sitting at the counter, they served the freshly fried tempura one by one. It's great to be able to eat it while it's still hot! Shrimp, squid, pumpkin, eggplant, and eel (they even gave me a free upgrade from kisu!) - it's amazing to be able to enjoy such delicious eel in a lunch set meal! Thank you as always. The sweet and fluffy eel was delicious. Lastly, I had a green pepper - it was also tasty! I will definitely visit again.

A tempura restaurant near my company that I sometimes visit! Takao-san!! They serve delicious tempura with good cost performance and are kind to salarymen. I ordered the usual tempura set! I sat at the counter so I could enjoy freshly fried tempura!! Squid, pumpkin, shrimp, eggplant, sand borer, green pepper!! I added shrimp as a service! I'm always sorry for the trouble. They are all delicious, but today the sand borer was especially tasty! The moment I bit into it, a delicious aroma spread! Seasonal sand borer is delicious! The thick eggplant is also delicious! I will visit again.

Summer is perfect for refreshing tempura! I decided to visit Takao-san right away. Is tempura not popular in the summer? Tempura is light and perfect for summer! I ordered the tempura set meal. First up, the shrimp! It's undeniably delicious! The pumpkin is very sweet! As a bonus, I got some conger eel tempura!! Thank you as always. The conger eel is delicious!! It has a firm texture and sweetness!! This is amazing!! Be careful with the hot eggplant! It's juicy and delicious. Next up is the bell pepper! So tasty~ Finally, I finished with the squid and rice. Thank you for the meal as always.

I sometimes crave tempura for lunch. This place serves a generous amount of rice, which would satisfy even young people. I like to eat the tempura with plenty of tempura dipping sauce and grated daikon radish mixed in. The tempura includes shrimp, lotus root, pumpkin, eggplant, smelt fish, and green pepper, and I finish with squid. It's a satisfying meal.

I visited for lunch and ordered the tempura set meal. First, a large amount of grated radish and tempura dipping sauce arrived! Exciting, right? After a while, the rice, miso soup, and pickles arrived! The rice portion was generous, and so were the pickles. Then, the tempura arrived! The tempura had a light batter and was delicious, a great Tokyo-style tempura. The squid tempura was thick and amazing. It was a satisfying and delicious meal. The tempura bowl also looked delicious with plenty of dark sauce on top. I'll try the tempura bowl next time!
