Welcome the New Year with Tenya's New Year's Tai-don!

As the New Year approaches, Tenya, renowned for its delicious tempura and donburi, is set to launch a limited-time menu item: the New Year's Tai-don. Starting from January 3, 2026, and continuing through mid-January, this dish will feature a luxurious assortment of tai, known as auspicious fish, symbolizing fortune and prosperity.

The New Year's Tai-don is a feast for the senses! It features three decadent types of tai:

• - Aomori Prefecture's Kinmedai: This type of sea bream is known for its vibrant color and refined flavor, making it ideal for celebrating the start of a new year.
• - Domestic Mad Tai: Renowned for its firm texture and rich flavor, it's sure to satisfy even the most discerning palate.
• - Yamaguchi Prefecture's Renkodai: This softer variety has a delicate flavor, adding yet another dimension to the dish.

Accompanying these tantalizing fish are the impressive natural large shrimp and lotus root, often regarded as a symbol of foresight and fortune. To complete this delightful plate, a touch of hadakami (spicy ginger) is included, allowing diners to enjoy a festive culinary experience perfect for welcoming the New Year.

In addition to the New Year's Tai-don, Tenya will also offer:

• - New Year's Tai-don with Yakusoba Set: A smaller portion of the Tai-don alongside Tenya's specialty soba, perfect for those looking to indulge in their delicious tempura alongside.
• - New Year's Tai-jyu Bento Box: An exquisite option for those who prefer taking their celebration home or enjoying a delicious meal on the go.
