I visited the restaurant on a holiday night. It was fully booked with reservations. I chose this place because I wanted to go to a fancy tempura restaurant to celebrate, and the location is convenient. I ordered the 20,000 yen course, and also added the appetizer namero and the famous sweet potato tempura. They told me to order the sweet potato first because it takes time. I usually don't like namero, but this one had a good amount of ginger and wasn't smelly. It came with seaweed, which I rolled up and ate. It was delicious. The tempura was all perfect. I dipped them in grated radish and enjoyed the light taste. And then the famous sweet potato. You pour alcohol over it before eating. It was sweet and fluffy, very delicious. It was quite filling, so we split one among three people and it was enough. I added more to the course, so I ended up very full. All the tempura was delicious, and you can't go wrong here. They have a wide variety of alcohol, and the service is solid. I will definitely come back here for tempura. Thank you very much.

Located on the 3rd floor of Tokyo Midtown, this time we were seated at the counter where we could enjoy our meal while watching the tempura being cooked right in front of us. We ordered the Camellia course, which included 2 prawns, lotus root, butterbur sprouts, sand borer fish, shiitake mushrooms, eggplant, and other seasonal vegetables and fish, all perfectly balanced. I heard that their sweet potato tempura is famous, so we decided to order it as an additional dish. It was mentioned that it would take 1 hour to fry the sweet potato tempura, so it's necessary to order it in advance. When it arrived, it was a huge piece of sweet potato tempura! It was well worth the 1-hour wait. We enjoyed it both plain and with salt or brandy, and it was truly delicious! The prices were a bit on the higher side, but the location, service, and overall experience made it a luxurious and memorable meal. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

Lunch omakase set for 10,000 yen. My first time at a tempura restaurant. Sat at the counter and watched them fry the tempura right in front of me. The location overlooking Roppongi's Midtown Garden was amazing. Had shrimp, eggplant, lotus root, sandfish, snow peas, scallop, asparagus, conger eel rice bowl, red miso soup, and cherry blossom ice cream. Everything was delicious. The tempura batter was just the right thickness, allowing the flavors of the ingredients to shine through. The vegetables were tasty, and the eggplant was particularly good. The portion size was just right for the course.

Roppongi, Tokyo, Tempura Hyakumeiten, located on the top of the mountain, is a fantastic tempura restaurant. The tempura is made by a famous tempura restaurant from Yamanoue Hotel, so it's incredibly delicious. The frying method is gentle and the tempura is flavorful even without any sauce. The ingredients are fried rare, allowing you to taste the umami flavors. I finished with an anago tempura bowl, which was also delicious. The sauce had a perfect balance of sweetness. Good tempura is gentle on the stomach, and this tempura was no exception. It was a wonderful dining experience. Thank you.

Renowned Tempura Restaurant in 2022: "Yamanoue Hotel" has been loved by many literary figures, not just for its hotel but also for its traditional and historical "Tempura and Japanese cuisine Yamanoue" branch. Located on the 3rd floor of Roppongi Hills, this restaurant is one of the many in the series. With chefs from Michelin-starred restaurants like "Tempura Kondo" and "Tempura Fukamachi" who are also alumni of "Yamanoue Hotel". Their Tempura Donburi (with red miso soup and pickles) priced at ¥4800 uses a unique blend of 100% sesame oil, one raw and one lightly roasted, each with distinct flavors. The seasonal tempura includes 3 prawns, tilefish, chili pepper, and vegetable tempura, all with a light and crispy batter that perfectly complements the fresh ingredients. The tempura sauce can be chosen between rich or light, with the light sauce providing a refreshing finish to the meal. Enjoy your meal!

Tempura on top of Tempura Mountain in Roppongi. Accessible location inside Midtown with a large underground parking lot. The counter seating with a view outside creates an elegant atmosphere. They show you the ingredients of the day, building anticipation. We tried a variety of tempura, with the standout being the carrot - sweet and perfectly cooked. Although the drinks are a bit pricey, the service is decent. Sitting at the counter allows for casual conversation with the chef, making it a fun dining experience. If you're in the mood for tempura in Roppongi, this place is worth a visit. Thank you for the meal.

I finally visited a tempura restaurant that I had been curious about. It is located inside Midtown and has a very nice atmosphere. From the first sashimi dish to the tempura rice bowl at the end, I was quite satisfied with the generous portions and delicious taste. It was a set course, but you could also add extra tempura, which made me very happy. ☺️

Thank you for viewing. I visited "Tempura Sannoujo Roppongi Tokyo Midtown Store," one of the top 100 tempura restaurants on Tabelog. Congratulations on winning the top 100 award. The location is very convenient, directly connected to Roppongi Station in Midtown. However, it may take about 10 minutes to walk there due to the size of the building and it being on the 3rd floor. On this day, I was seated at the counter, which has a glass window offering a view of the outside. Dining while enjoying the view is very relaxing. The customer service was very polite and pleasant, although I had to request daikon radish and tempura dipping sauce multiple times. As for the tempura, it was similar to other "Sannoujo" restaurants. The batter was neither too thick nor too thin, and the cooking was neither rare nor well-done, just average. Therefore, it is a tempura that can be enjoyed by everyone. The Sannoujo group is relatively easy to make reservations with even at the last minute, so it is convenient when you want to eat tempura. The items I had on this day were as follows: "Shrimp legs x2," "Shrimp x2," "Lotus root," "Sandfish," "Onion," "Niigata black maikake mushroom," "Belt fish," "Ginkgo nuts," "Myoga," "Aori squid," "Kumamoto red eggplant," "Asparagus," "Yamagata shiitake mushroom," "Conger eel," "Tempura rice bowl," "Corn tempura rice bowl," "Clam red miso soup," "Pickles," "Chestnut ice cream," "Matcha ice cream." I was able to dine in a stylish atmosphere. I would like to visit again when I have the chance. Thank you for the meal.

We visited "Tempura Yamanoue Roppongi Tokyo Midtown Store," which won the "Tabelog Tempura Top 100 2022" award. The restaurant is conveniently located directly connected to Roppongi Station on the Oedo Line, on the 3rd floor of Tokyo Midtown Galleria Garden Terrace. It is a branch of "Yamanoue," established in 1954 in Kanda Surugadai, located inside Yamanoue Hotel. The interior is modern with a lot of wood elements, creating a warm atmosphere. The lunch we had was luxurious and exquisite. The menu we enjoyed today included shrimp head, 2 shrimp, green bean and shiso roll, lotus root kisu, Kumamoto red eggplant, rockfish, Yamagata green asparagus, and conger eel tempura rice bowl with matcha ice cream. A few personal impressions... The "Green Bean and Shiso Roll" had a great texture and the flavor of the green beans was prominent with each bite. The "Rockfish" was crispy on the outside but tender and flavorful inside. The "Conger Eel Tempura Rice Bowl" was consistently delicious and surprisingly light, making it easy to finish. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

I enjoyed tempura at Roppongi Midtown. Sitting at the counter, I could enjoy freshly fried tempura one by one. The batter was really light, and I ended up trying 12 different kinds. The large oyster tempura was delicious. For the finale, I tried tempura rice bowl for the first time, and it was amazingly delicious. Unfortunately, the sea urchin tempura was sold out, so I will definitely come back whenever I crave tempura.

After the war, the post-war military headquarters was established, and in 1954, it opened as a hotel called Yamano-ue Hotel, where the tempura restaurant there swept the tempura culture. Half of Tokyo's famous tempura shops are from here. The batter that doesn't interfere with the ingredients, tempura gave birth to the word "steamed food." The main store on the hill has also been rebuilt and no longer has its old appearance. After thinking it was quietly operating, it actually opened various branches, and now has 5 stores. This is one of them, located next to Roppongi Midtown and The Ritz-Carlton. I ordered the seasonal tempura omakase for 20,000 yen, slightly cheaper than the special selection for 24,000 yen. The dishes included mushroom and walnut white miso, shrimp head, 2 prawns, eggplant, conger eel, asparagus, horse mackerel, lotus root, green bean shiso roll, conger eel, brown mushroom, tempura rice bowl, and mango ice cream. True to Yamano-ue's style, the tempura was light and didn't feel greasy, made with high-quality oil, and had no distinct taste. It felt like the ingredients were steamed, and they were vibrant. Each of Yamano-ue's apprentices' shops has different textures of batter and oil. Among them, this one is probably the most standard. The portion was a bit small, so I felt I should have opted for the most expensive course. The location is good, and the interior exudes luxury, so the prices are slightly higher. But that's probably unavoidable.

Tempura Yamano-ue at Tokyo Midtown, a hangover cure meal. This restaurant is well-known for its tempura dishes and since it's conveniently located near my usual area, I often visit. This time, I decided to try something different for lunch. The atmosphere is as calming as always. Menu: Tempura Set A: 10,000 yen Tempura Set B: 14,500 yen Tempura Set C: 20,000 yen Seasonal Kakiage Tendon: 4,600 yen Vegetable Tendon: 4,300 yen Tendon: 4,800 yen Special Tendon: 8,000 yen I opted for the regular Tendon this time, along with a glass of black oolong tea. The tempura looked delicious with prawns, kisu fish, chili, and kakiage. The taste was excellent, especially the crispy tempura. The portion size was generous, and the prawns were juicy. The kisu fish was tender and delicious. Overall, it was a satisfying meal. I look forward to trying the evening tempura set next time.

I visited for lunch on a weekday. When entering, there is a counter seat right in front. We sat at a table and ordered the shrimp tempura rice bowl. It came with 3 shrimp (they were smaller than expected) and small shrimp tempura, so it was definitely a shrimp tempura rice bowl! We enjoyed it thoroughly. The miso soup had clams in it, and the pickles were delicious. I thought it would be nice to also sit at the counter seats.

If you want to have a perfect date with wine, tempura, and a night view, this is the best place! The crispiness of the tempura batter determines the quality of the tempura, and this place gets a perfect score of 5. The tempura here is delicious, but definitely on the harder side. I really want them to fry it a bit lighter. I would love to go back to this restaurant for lunch or dinner.

Tempura Yamano-ue @ Roppongi Midtown is a restaurant located on a hill. It was full even on a weekday! The high-backed chairs and high ceilings create a very calming atmosphere. I opted for the course menu. The sound of the tempura being fried is delightful. I enjoyed the tempura with salt, tempura dipping sauce, and grated daikon radish. Starting with the prawn, the flesh was firm and delicious, and you can eat it without removing the shell. The shiitake mushroom was very meaty. The Fushimi chili pepper was long and paired well with the tempura dipping sauce. The mizunasu was juicy, and the kisu had a crispy batter and tender meat. The hirame was thick and crunchy, while the asparagus had a sweet tip that went well with salt, and a thick root part that was dipped in tempura sauce. Finally, the anago was served either as is or in a bowl of rice topped with a rich sauce. I chose the rice bowl option, and the well-coated anago was delicious and satisfying. The meal ended with clam soup and authentic pickles. For dessert, I chose matcha ice cream, which had a very authentic flavor. It was a very relaxing and enjoyable dining experience.

Located in Kanda Surugadai, "Tempura YamanoUe" was established in 1954. At this branch, you can enjoy authentic Edomae tempura while looking at the seasonal scenery through the counter. The tempura, fried crispy in high-quality sesame oil, is made with fresh ingredients sourced that morning, and has been a legendary taste loved by many literary figures. The taste has been passed down without change, along with the dedication of the chefs. Please savor the fresh ingredients and the craftsmanship to your heart's content.

【Roppongi Dinner】I wanted to eat delicious tempura after a long time, so I decided to visit Tempura Yamanoue, a famous tempura restaurant in Roppongi Midtown. Click here for more details ⇒ https://ameblo.jp/kaukau-hawaii/entry-12708741815.html Tempura Yamanoue is one of Japan's representative restaurants. Ever since I visited Tempura Kondo and Yamanoue Honten in the past, my concept of tempura has changed! This time, I went for dinner and sat at the counter. The dinner menu has 4 options: Hana for 9,900 yen, Mai for 13,200 yen, Midori for 15,400 yen, and the Seasonal Special Tempura Set for 19,800 yen. I chose Mai for 13,200 yen this time. The portion was generous, so even the Hana for 9,900 yen would have been satisfying! The person I went with was visiting Tempura Yamanoue for the first time, so we chose Mai. We were seated at the counter and served with tempura sauce, grated daikon radish, and salt. The dishes included shrimp, ginnan (ginkgo nuts), eggplant, kiss (Japanese whiting), lotus root, fish, carrot, shiitake mushroom, sea bream, asparagus, and conger eel. For dessert, we had a delicious treat. The fresh tempura and excellent service allowed us to enjoy the excitement of eating freshly fried tempura. Tempura truly is a wonderful Japanese dish, and I definitely want to visit this restaurant again. =========== Tempura and Japanese cuisine Yamanoue https://tabelog.com/tokyo/A1307/A130701/13037326/ https://www.yamanoue-hotel.co.jp/tempurayamanoue/roppongi/

The rice in the tempura was too moist, causing it to stick and have a bad texture. The batter was also soggy, not satisfying when eaten alone. The sauce had a slight taste of cooking sake. The scallop was tough and chewy, unpleasant to eat. This quality is unacceptable for the price of almost 5000 yen, hence this review.

When I feel like eating tempura, I come here. I was able to enjoy seasonal vegetables like butterbur sprouts and bracken, which are perfect for spring. The counter seats offer a beautiful night view, and I was completely satisfied! Thank you for the meal.

Lunch was my first time here. The interior of the restaurant was divided, and the staff took a while to come to our table, but we managed to place our order. The tempura rice bowl was served smoothly and, as always, it was delicious! If you have time, definitely try the specialty sweet potato dish on its own. I always have it at night (^｡^)
