Tenya Unveils Its Early Spring Tempura Specials

Tenya, a part of the Royal Group, is excited to announce the launch of its limited-time 'Early Spring Tempura Bowls' starting on January 15, 2026, through early March. This collection captures the essence of spring with a feast of flavors, textures, and colors that showcase the best seasonal ingredients.

New Early Spring Tempura Bowls

Among the star dishes is the 'Early Spring Shrimp Tempura Bowl,' which combines the delectable Kagoshima Prefecture's 'Hime Amaebi' (sweet shrimp) with 'Wasabi Greens' in a crispy tempura style. Accompanied by the fresh taste of 'Madai' (sea bream) from Miyagi Prefecture and the delightful texture of 'Brussels Sprouts' from Shizuoka, this bowl offers a unique and aromatic experience. Patrons can expect a medley of flavors featuring both traditional shrimp and squid, all presented with a beautiful and colorful touch.

A New Noodle Dish to Relish

Complementing the tempura bowls is the brand new 'Hime Amaebi and Wasabi Greens Tempura Soba.' This new noodle offering features a crunchy tempura of Kagoshima’s sweet shrimp combined with 'Wasabi Greens,' served with Tenya's special soba noodles. Recently revamped, the noodle sauce enhances the rich flavors, perfect for warming up during chilly winter days.

Introducing the 'Squid Tempura Bowl'

In addition to the shrimp and soba innovations, Tenya presents its first 'Squid Tempura Bowl' under the popular “Tarezuke” series. Featuring two large pieces of squid and squid tentacles, this hearty dish is complemented with 'Shishito Peppers' and 'Lotus Root' for a delightful crunch. Each bite is designed to remain enjoyable until the very last morsel, ensuring a satisfying dining experience.

More Seasonal Highlights

Alongside these offerings, Tenya will also feature the luxurious 'Early Spring Deluxe Tempura Bowl' crafted with 'Natural Large Prawns,' 'Live Eels,' and 'Kinmedai' (golden eye snapper) sourced from Aomori Prefecture. For those looking for takeaway options, the 'Early Spring Tempura Platter' will also be available, showcasing seasonal delights perfect for sharing or enjoying at home.

With a mission to bring joy through its dishes, Tenya continues to strive for a meaningful dining experience that reflects the beauty of seasonal ingredients. The brand's new concept emphasizes enriching the hearts and minds of its customers by blending flavor and value in every meal.
