www.altiramacau.com Honing the skills required to create deceptively simple Japanese tempura is an art that takes years. Tenmasa, a branch of the petite establishment in Tokyo, is an example of a venue that has perfected authentic tempura. Guests enter the zenthemed restaurant, through a wood-lined corridor to reveal individual dining areas, including an exclusive tempura bar with tatami seating. Start with cold salads and light snacks, or even a few warming hot dishes before you begin the series of tempura items. Ordered piece by piece, take your time to savour tempura of seasonal vegetables such as oyster mushrooms and lily bulbs, or the freshest harvest of conger eel, Japanese whiting, and sea urchin wrapped with dried seaweed; all are testament to Tenmasa’s expertise. Sashimi and sushi are available from the exclusive sushi bar, as well as an excellent selection of prized sakes available for pairing. Tenmasa offers an unforgettable tempura experience for even the most discerning palates.
