The Tempura God of Tokyo - Kondo

It's so interesting to talk directly with a living legend and hear him casually mention things and events that are recorded history. What a personable man, and so generous with his time. This is the chef who turned down a visiting US President and the Prime Minster of Japan, because it would mean taking away seats reserved by regular guests who made reservations months before!

Sugoi Aloha

なぜか志村けんさんを思い出しました

私みたいな下々のものは天つゆに大根おろし全投入

残念ながらこの程度は素人の私でも作れそう。今はネットで知識が手に入るし、油の温度も非接触でも接触式でも一瞬で測れる温度計がある。てんぷら職人の技など昔ほど価値がない。
それから、てんぷら粉の温度が低く保たれているのかが疑問。氷を入れないとダメだろう。

Tempura, from the latin “tempore”, it’s just a fancy name for the portuguese’s cooking technic of deep frying food coated with batter.

10年間見るだけの修行してる弟子がいるお店

レモンかけ過ぎw レモンの味しかしないでしょうww

every restaurant owner who can't cook nightmares: when your head chef leaves to run their own

こんな名店の塩に添えてるのがレモンなんだ。。。

C'est très heureux de faire connaissance avec le Dieu Tempura de Tokyo -Kondo .

一品ごとに敷紙変えるんですね😅

無造作にみえる所作に秘密があるようで、ないんだろうな。無造作こそ真髄

弟子の動きが素晴らしい!見てると親方の動きがみんなわかってやってる!親方がみんなに慕われてる証拠!後、職人として素晴らしい人!食べて見たい

……こうゆうお店で食事が出来る人になりたい。。

Look up the autobiography Within Heaven's Gates by Rebecca Springer.😇

近藤さん、かっこ良すぎっ。

ここは名店中の名店

高い=うまいとはちがうな

Was that uni tempura on the leaf? If so, I must try it!

ピーマンほとんど衣ついてなくね？

こうした真剣勝負の調理してる店主に気楽に話しかける客、気が知れない。

Where is the tempura? First it goes into a bowl of regular flour and then into an egg wash but at the end there is termpura. How?

Umazing ❤

見るだけで10年かかるのに

GOD IS EVERYTHING AND THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD FOREVER THE ONE AND ONLY GOD 🙏

is it recommended to always use salt prior eating the tempura? or it's a personal choice?

Of all the places you've posted, this is the one I would most love to visit.

ここのお店でしたか・・池波正太郎さんが　揚げたてを間髪入れずに食べていたお店
なるほどと思いました

man i wish they had not fried living shrimp, that is super unnessecarily cruel. The myth they taste better then is not even wrong but it is actually even the opposite, bc stress hormones will be released...

A Japanese chef once told me that tempura is a steamed dish. At first glance, this may seem like a contradiction, but he explained that tempura is a technique of creating a state of "steaming" with the moisture of the ingredients in the batter. I would like everyone overseas to try "real tempura" at a real tempura restaurant when you come to Japan. Sushi has already become a popular dish in the world, but there are still many great dishes in Japan!

His friend carefully uses some wasabi, some daikon, and dips the whole thing in soy sauce, and he says, nah, just some salt for me. But lots of saki, I approve. :)

Use rice flour as he does.

Bell pepper tempura? 🤯

What is the No2 d I p ..???

Tempura God of Japan 😋

Ничего не хочу сказать насчёт его божественности, но он же просто берёт продукты, обваливает их в муке и кляре и кидает в масло)))

石川県にミシュラン☆☆の天ぷら屋　小泉　　があります。
席数が少ないから、予約取りにくくなってるかもだけど、ミシュラン取る前に、何度も言ってる自分のおすすめのお店です。

あと、冬の石川県は海鮮が美味しいよ！😋

Customers say the batter al tastes the same, as well as the salt and soya sauce 😉

That shitake tempura looks good.

indeed he is tempura God

I have eaten here. An incredible experience.

Yummy

Tempura is a pretty solved science. Not sure how anyone can be a god of it compared to most other forms of cooking.

This is REAL tempura, not the thick donut like tempura you find in US (Chinese/Vietnamese-owned) "Japanese" restaurants.

👍
