This standing bar, aptly named Tempura and Sushi, is located right in front of Nagano Station.
Though it's a standing bar, they do have seating along the wall for two people.
I actually discovered this place through a video from "Yuachube," a channel I subscribe to on YouTube, and I wouldn’t be exaggerating to say that it inspired me to come all the way to Nagano.
I tend to be easily influenced and whenever I see something intriguing on TV, I’m quick to check it out.
Thanks, Yuachube! I always find your recommendations helpful.
Instead of a platter, I ordered a la carte, and the freshly fried tempura was served one by one, placed on a wooden rack with a wire mesh for oil drainage, which felt quite authentic.
Both the sushi and tempura are prepared by specialized chefs, and even in the narrow space, resembling an eel's nest, the kitchens for each are separate—very professional.
If you can secure a counter seat, you can watch the chefs prepare sushi, and the tempura cooking station near the entrance is open, allowing you to see the vegetables and ingredients before they are fried.
I started with a beer poured expertly with frothy perfection.
I wondered if it's necessary to have two appetizers... It feels excessive to have too many, as it limits what else you can order.
When I looked at the receipt during payment, it showed JPY 380—definitely not needed.
Being in Nagano, I searched the menu for mountain vegetables and ordered two types of mushrooms to be fried.
One of them is "Reika," a local Nagano delicacy that is also known as Himalayan Hiratake.
In the photo, it looks similar to the other shiitake, but they are completely different in shape and taste.
You can enjoy them with salt or the recommended dipping sauce made from dashi.
The sushi is brushed with soy sauce, typical of the Kansai style.
Sushi is priced transparently, allowing you to order from just one piece at a reasonable price.
The staff consists of two skilled chefs and one relatively new young man who seems to be a part-timer.
There’s an odd atmosphere, almost like oil and water, as they seem to avoid interacting with each other.
Maybe it’s because everyone’s roles are clearly defined.
The stylish lighting and jazzy background music might be part of the shop’s concept, but I have no way of knowing.
However, the lack of energy and enthusiasm in the service was disappointing.
