Freshly fried tempura comes with all-you-can-eat rice, miso soup, homemade kimchi, and more! We set up multiple cameras at this cost-effective restaurant. We observed the kitchen during lunch hours on one day! All-you-can-eat rice, miso soup, and more! A tempura restaurant with excellent value for money. Our setting for this episode is Tempura Tokuya, located in Nishino, Nishi Ward, and established in 2007. This popular restaurant sees many customers every day at lunchtime! To discover the reason for its popularity, we began observing the kitchen an hour before opening! Staff: "We're sorting the shungiku (garland chrysanthemum) to be used in the set meal." The shungiku is divided into two types: "for the set meal" and "for kakiage (tempura tempura)." Manager Nishiho: "Today's six types. These will be on the Tokuya set meal menu." Manager Nishiho, with 30 years of experience as a tempura chef, is in charge of everything from purchasing ingredients to preparing seafood. On this day alone, they grated about 20 daikon radishes. They were grated using a special machine. Manager Nishiho: "Good morning, welcome." The restaurant opens at 11:00 AM. Once an order is placed, the tempura is fried right in front of you. Manager Nishiho: "Sorry for the wait. We'll be preparing the Tokuya set meal. This is cod from Hokkaido. Shiso leaves. Hokkaido garland chrysanthemum." The most popular item, the Tokuya set meal, features six different tempura dishes each day. The tempura is freshly fried and served in batches. And when you order the set meal, you also get all-you-can-eat rice, miso soup, kimchi, and grated daikon radish. Staff: "Yes, you can have seconds." Customer: "May I have seconds?" Customer: "It's great to be able to eat freshly cooked food. I always get seconds of rice, which is really helpful." Manager Nishiho: "Rice and miso soup, you can have seconds! Please help yourself! Please help yourself. We've got it ready for you! ... Staff: "Next up, we have the fish—conger eel. And then there are crab legs." Manager Nishiho: "The tempura itself absorbs oil, so the key is to fry it with a thin batter while maintaining a crispy texture." Customer: "The portion is huge, so the tempura is really delicious. I was blown away when I tried it." Approximately 40 types of tempura! Our recommendation this time of year is "tachiten." Manager: "Order more! ♪ We have "mochiten" available today. ♪" Customer: "I love mochi snacks, so even though I know I shouldn't eat too much, I always end up overeating." Another great feature is that when you order over 870 yen, you'll receive a coupon for your next purchase. Manager Nishiho: "Even though prices are rising, we want to continue offering the same complimentary rice, miso soup, grated daikon radish, and kimchi. Thank you for your continued support."
