Behind the Counter at a Local Japanese Tempura Restaurant

This Japanese food restaurant has been in business since 1931. Originally opened in Nihonbashi, it later relocated to Roppongi which is only a 3 minutes walk from exit 3 of Roppongi station. This hidden gem tempura restaurant also has a unique way of firing their tempura, with drumsticks. The owner and head chef, a former jazz drummer, is the one who started this. Apparently, regular chopsticks are much thinner and eventually break after so many washings, while drumsticks are made out of a hickory which is very strong and hard so it lasts much longer over time. This is a behind the counter view of what really happens at a Japanese cuisine tempura restaurant as they setup and prepare the meals.
