Tempura — Tokyo

Ginza Tenichi (Main Store)

A tempura house founded in 1930 in Ningyocho and based in Ginza since 1932, which early on moved to counter service, with tempura fried in front of the guest. The main store now occupies the HULIC &New GINZA NAMIKI 6 building on Namiki-dori, with a large counter, rooms with their own private counters and a wine list chosen to match the frying.

Corporate use

A counter tempura dinner works well with international guests: the chef's work needs no translation. The rooms with private counters keep a group together around its own cook; their capacities are not published and are confirmed at booking. A few minutes' walk from the Ginza and Hibiya hotels, so no transfer is needed.

Private rooms & private hire

The house has private and semi-private rooms, including rooms with lacquered counters and a tatami room with its own frying station. Capacities are not published: we check them with the restaurant according to group size. Full buyouts are considered case by case.

The menu

In the evening, three omakase courses (Ume, Momo, Sakura) of seasonal tempura fried to order; at lunch, tendon in the dining room and counter courses. A wine selection, the 'Tenichi Selection', must be ordered five days ahead. Vegetarian, vegan and halal menus are possible with advance notice; gluten-free is not, and egg, wheat, soy or sesame allergies cannot be accommodated because one frying oil is used for everything.
