Tendon Tenya, a renowned tempura and tendon specialty restaurant in Japan, has launched its 5th edition of the 'My Tempura Donburi Contest.' This exciting event invites staff members across all店舗 to create unique tempura donburi that captures their culinary imagination and customer preferences.

Gold Award Winning: Tuna Mayo Chikuwa no Magokoro Tendon

A Heartfelt Creation

The 'Tuna Mayo Chikuwa no Magokoro Tendon' is an in-house special, inspired by frequent requests from customers who voiced their desire for chikuwa tempura. The skilled staff at Tendon Tenya Ooyama Store has crafted this dish with care, featuring chikuwa filled with flavorful tuna mayo, deep-fried to crispy perfection. The harmonious blending of the creamy tuna mayo and the savory chikuwa is enhanced by a refreshing shiso leaf-wrapped chicken tempura.
