Tempura that maximizes the potential of its ingredients. A renowned restaurant led by a young chef, hard to book a reservation.

In 2020, the restaurant moved from Tenjinbashi-suji 7-chome to Kitashinchi. It has risen to become one of Kansai's premier tempura specialty restaurants, earning two Michelin stars for three consecuti...ve years since 2022, showcasing its unstoppable momentum. Chef Numata, who manages multiple locations, personally stands at the kitchen to create tempura that maximizes the appeal of the ingredients. Each ingredient is carefully prepared without any unnecessary seasoning, and is lightly fried in exquisite sesame oil. The deliciousness of freshly fried tempura speaks for itself.

ChefKazuyа Numata - A Young Tempura Chef Who Crosses Oceans

Born in 1985 and from Kumamoto Prefecture, after graduating from Tsujicho Culinary School, he trained for seven years at the Japanese restaurant "Kita Suien" in Kitashinchi. With the desire to create a place where people can enjoy tempura more casually in Kansai, he taught himself how to make tempura. In 2011, he opened "Wa" (now closed), followed by the casual restaurant "Tensei" in 2014 and the high-end restaurant "Numata." Additionally, in January 2024, he opened a branch called "Numata Sou" in Nishitenma, and in June, he opened the first overseas location, "Numata Sou" in Shanghai.

Food "Alternating Different Flavors and Textures: A Varied Tempura Full Course"

The main focus of the course is tempura, featuring 13 seasonal vegetables and seafood. Starting with the surprisingly light texture of the heads of sweet shrimp, it includes vibrant broad beans and kiss fish that has been aged for three days, served alternately with seafood and vegetables. This creates a delightful rhythm that keeps the texture, flavor, and aroma interesting until the end. The oil is crisp, and it’s nice that it doesn’t weigh heavily on the stomach. For a palate cleanser, there is yam somen served in a gentle dashi broth, and for rice dishes, five varieties are offered: tempura tea, tempura donburi, tempura bara, tempura musubi, and tamago kake gohan.

Space"The BGM Gently Resonates with the Sound of Oil. A Luxurious Time Flows at the Japanese Counter."

The white wooden counter, cedar latticework, and earthen walls create an interior that embodies a sense of "Wa" (Japanese harmony), providing a tranquil atmosphere. The red cedar from Yoshino, prominently displayed like a signboard, exudes a remarkable presence with its deep growth rings. I've heard that it is an iconic element found in all the establishments managed by Mr. Numata. In the foreground, a large flower vase crafted by ceramic artist Tsujiura Yui is placed, beautifully showcasing seasonal flowers arranged dynamically, which complements the refined space. Additionally, the light sound of oil sizzling serves as a blissful background music.
