Rank 1. Tempura Hattori
Tempura Japanese
A tempura counter in Nara where the chef came up through ryotei training before dedicating himself to the fry. The omakase moves in alternating seafood and vegetable courses, with cottonseed oil keeping the batter notably light. Sea bream fried with its scales pressed into pine-cone ridges is the kind of detail that makes you sit up. Eel and venison show up too, for a chef clearly not content with the standard repertoire. The meal closes with tencha, tempura over rice flooded with fresh-brewed dashi.
