Fumio Kondo's tempura reaches levels of lightness that defy physics. The sweet potato alone takes 30 minutes to cook. This is tempura as high art.
Intimate counter where Kondo-san works in silence, each piece fried to ethereal crispness. Vegetables are the stars here.
The carrot and sweet potato are as essential as any prawn. Lunch is easier to book than dinner.
Tempura purists, Japanese food obsessives, patient diners
