M Tempura
About Tempura
Traditional tempura is about letting the natural flavors shine. The batter is very thin for a delicate crunch. Because of this, we do not season any of the tempura ingredients following the traditional method. The salt is provided for you to sprinkle on your ingredients. There is also tempura sauce that is very light so that it doesn't mask the flavors of the ingredients. You are encouraged to dip heavily in this sauce as you wish. Enjoy!
To provide the best possible dining experience, all members of each party must participate in the same tasting menu.
Kaiseki Menu must be requested 24 hours in advance. No Exceptions Available.
