TEMPURA

From domestic to international fame

An episode from the series THE FOOD THAT BUILT ASIA

Synopsis

Tempura, Japan’s most famous fried dish, is a delicate work of art. Its scent and taste are unlike anything else when cooked to perfection.

Beyond its simple appearance, tempura is a dish that not only requires finely honed techniques, but also an encyclopedic knowledge of ingredients, oils, and condiments.
