Receta [TOKYO] Day 13: First tempura lunch at Tempura Hisago

Dear Food Diary:

After reading reviews about 7chome Kyoboshi, the 3 michelin star tempura temple, I was infatuated. But shedding $400 of my hard earned dollars for tempura, as divine as it may be, just couldn’t be justified. Maybe if I won the lotto? Or money suddenly feel from above as I walked the streets of Tokyo. As you see, chances at this point are slim.

My knowledge and appreciation for tempura doesn’t reach michelin star level anyways, so I figured I’d start local and eventually work my way up. Slowly shedding out extra dough for fancier versions and taste what the fuss is really about.

For lunch today, I stopped by Tempura Hisago and had their Edo-style tempura lunch.

The lunch set was about $27. Sashimi…
