"I went to this popular tempura restaurant that's notoriously hard to get a reservation at. I had read reviews that described the tempura as having a 'crispy batter,' so I was worried it might be heavy, but it wasn't at all. While the batter was definitely thicker than other places I've been to, it was still surprisingly light and delicious. I especially loved the eggplant, maitake mushrooms, and anago (sea eel). I ordered matsutake mushrooms as an extra, but I got too full towards the end and had to order a half portion of my favorite anago, which was a bummer. The portions are quite generous, so women with smaller appetites might be fine without ordering anything extra. It would be nice if they had a lunch course with slightly smaller portions. "
