Ginza Hageten (2010-04-26)
Where did time go? Said I would check out Ginza (
)
Hageten in Tokyo and before you know it, a full year has passed
before we actually did it!The branch in Shinjuku (
) is closer for us than their head restaurant
in Ginza. Arriving at 1130 am, we were their first
customers. Our smiling waitress was extremely courteous and tried
to speak English with us the whole time even though we spoke Japanese
to her.
At Hageten, you can order set meals but the chef who does all the
frying in his station brings the tempura, one piece at a time, to your
table the moment it's finished frying. In this way, the tempura
is guaranteed fresh, piping hot and very crispy.
You can also get the same service in fancy tempura restaurants where
you sit at the counter and the chef places the tempura right in front
of you as soon as it leaves the big frying cauldron, but then they
often charge you a hundred bucks or more for a course meal. To be
frank, Hageten will totally suffice for us.
