What’s the first food item that comes to your mind when someone asks you about your favorite Japanese dish? Well, for most Filipinos, tempura has long been a staple when it comes to Japanese food.
But what exactly is it? Tempura is a Japanese dish of battered and deep-fried seafood and vegetables. Tracing back the origin of tempura in Japan, the Portuguese first introduced its concept of deep-frying food in oil during the 16th century. Since then, Japanese restaurants all over the world are trying to make their different versions of tempura.
In the Philippines, Tokyo Tokyo is one of the go-to restaurants that can satisfy one’s tempura cravings. In fact, Tokyo Tokyo will be celebrating its fourth annual “National Tempura Day” today, January 11, by slashing by half the price of Classic Tempura and their newest variant, Nori Tempura. You can get as much tempura as you want for only P35 each!
