About this spot
In the quiet Fukushima neighborhood, Wataru delivers crisp, light tempura that relies entirely on the purity of its dashi stock rather than heavy sauces. The menu features delicate shrimp and seasonal vegetables fried to a golden perfection that highlights the natural sweetness of the seafood.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order the 'Kakiage' (tempura fritter) as an appetizer to experience how the chef balances multiple ingredients in one bite.
- Ask for the dashi broth on the side if you prefer to dip your tempura rather than eating it plain.
- Save room for the rice served with a simple soy-dashi glaze, which is essential for balancing the richness of the fried items.
