Known formichelin two-starcounter diningtempuralegendary
Chef Fumio Kondo is the undisputed master of vegetable tempura, elevating sweet potato and lotus root to the level of art alongside pristine seafood. The counter seats in this Ginza institution offer a front-row view of his technique, and the batter is legendarily light. Lunch courses offer better value; reservations are recommended but not as brutal as sushi counters of similar stature.
