Enjoy freshly fried tempura tendon in Akihabara! Less than 1,000 yen with miso soup and pickles! Tempura Tenpura Tenyo's special tempura rice bowl for 900 yen!

When you come to Akihabara, you may have a hard time deciding where to have lunch.

To help you decide, here are some Akiba eats that I, Shun Gori, who is a frequent visitor to Akihabara even when I have nothing else to do, recommend.

As an Akibaite who prefers to spend money on his hobbies, I will focus on those who can eat for less than 1,000 yen, assuming that you can spend less than 1,000 yen for lunch.

Akihabara is known for its ramen stores, curry shops, and recently, kebab shops, but Japanese food is also doing its best.

This time, we visited Tempura Tenpura Tenho, which claims to serve "freshly fried tempura.

Tempura Tenpo is located on the first floor of the FUJISOFT Building, which can be seen on the right when exiting the Electric Town Exit of JR Akihabara Station, about a four-minute walk from the station.

The restaurant has 16 seats, 8 at the counter and 2 at tables, and is decorated like a teishoku-ya (set meal restaurant) with a relaxed atmosphere.

There is no specific lunch menu, but customers can choose from "Negitoro-don (Negitoro rice bowl)" 900 yen (tax included), which is limited to 10 servings a day, "Ebi-ten Tamago-to-don (prawn tempura with egg)" 900 yen (tax included), and "Tempura Teishoku (tempura set meal)" 1,250 yen (tax included), all of which are served with miso soup and pickles.

The most popular item on the menu is the "Tokusai Tendon" (special tempura bowl). This tempura rice bowl is topped with two prawns, a kiss and three vegetables, and comes with miso soup and pickles for 900 yen.

This time, I ordered the "Tokusai Tendon" (special tempura bowl).

It was a bit of a wait because the tempura is deep-fried after the order is placed, but the wait is enjoyable when you can enjoy freshly deep-fried tempura.

Two large prawns were served. The three vegetable dishes of the day were green pepper, eggplant, and sweet potato. The kisses were a little small, perhaps because it was not the right time of year.

All the ingredients were freshly fried, so eat them before they get cold. The sauce was soy sauce-based, Tokyo-style.

The prawns were fried until crispy, even the tails, so even those who usually leave the tails out of prawn tempura could eat them.

The shun gori, of course, was delicious all the way to the tail.

With six tempura dishes, a bowl of rice, miso soup, and pickles, I was full enough to eat.

Above all, it is quite an experience to enjoy freshly fried tendon in Akihabara.

This time, I visited "Tempura Tenpura Tenho" where I could enjoy "freshly fried tempura".

It is quite rare to find a restaurant in Akihabara that serves authentic tendon for less than 1,000 yen.

In addition to the freshly fried tempura I had this time, the restaurant offers other reasonably priced dishes such as "Negitoro-don" (900 yen), which is limited to 10 servings, and "Ebi-ten Tamago-toji-don" (900 yen), which is tempura topped with an egg.

I left the restaurant vowing to try the "Negitoro-don," which is limited to 10 servings only, next time.
