Tendon Tenya Introduces Winter Limited Menu

From November 13, 2025, Tendon Tenya, a renowned tempura and tendon specialty restaurant under the Royal Group, will roll out an exclusive winter menu that celebrates seasonal ingredients.

Indulgent Crab and Fugu Tendon

Tendon Tenya's standout offering this winter features a luxurious bowl of tendon showcasing both the flavors of snow crab and fugu (pufferfish). The tempura preparation enhances the inherent sweetness of the crab and the unique, bouncy texture of the fugu, delivering an exquisite dining experience. Accompanied by a vibrant garnish of Shungiku (garland chrysanthemum) and Benishin Daikon (red heart daikon), alongside classic shrimp and lotus root, this dish promises both visual appeal and delightful taste. Note that only processed and prepared fugu will be used to ensure safety.

Unique Soba with Sweet Leeks and Shellfish

For soba lovers, the Small Buka and Soft Leek Tempura Soba is a must-try. Featuring the tender and rich-flavored Yuawarato Neegi (soft leek) from Tochigi Prefecture along with flavorful Itaya shellfish, this dish is served over fragrant domestic seaweed tempura. Customers can select cold soba for a refreshing meal, with options to choose hot udon or soba based on preference. The side of grated daikon and yuzu adds a refreshing kick, perfectly complementing the tempura.

Traditional Sake Pairing Experience

Enhance your winter outing with Tendon Tenya's exclusive winter drinking set featuring a delightful range of seasonal tempuras paired with premium Junmai Ginjo sake. This combination showcases snow crab tempura, Shungiku and Benishin Daikon fritters, and lotus root, making for an exquisite indulgence alongside fresh, hot tempuras. Available only in-store, this offering presents a unique opportunity to savor the rich flavors of winter while enjoying freshly fried tempura.

Additional Seasonal Treats

Besides the featured menu items, patrons can also indulge in the Winter Gourmet Tendon, which combines natural prawns, live anago (conger eel), fugu, and shellfish fritters, as well as the beloved Tarezuke Ebi-zukushi Tendon which includes two shrimp and a selection of various tempura items drizzled in Tenya’s original sweet and savory sauce. Additionally, a limited takeaway item, Winter Tempura Assortment, will also be available during this winter season.
