What I like most is the light, crisp, non-greasy tempura batter coating the ingredients. This retains its light crunch even after dipping in the tempura sauce.
.
The assorted medley of vegetables includes string beans, chili, brinjal / eggplant / aubergine, sweet potato, and pumpkin, all with a soft moist chew and bright vegetal earthy sweet flavours.
.
But the star is easily the large juicy kuruma ebi / king prawn / Japanese tiger prawn, which has a refreshing succulent bite and bold sweet savoury flavour.

Invited tasting.
