Tempura

天ぷら・ 天麩羅 (Tempura)

It is a Japanese dish fried in oil with wrapped flour and food materials such as seafood and vegetables.

Tempura is one of "Sanmi of Edo", it is a regional dish of Edo.

It was around the end of the Tokugawa period that it began to set up a store as a tempura store rather than a stall. In the Meiji era, tempura was transmitted to Osaka as more restaurants and tempura specialty shops were added. Craftsmen who lost their jobs in the Great Kanto Earthquake of Taisho era moved to various places and spread tempura of Edo.

In addition, customs of Kansai craftmen going to Tokyo to eat vegetables with salted salt spread to Tokyo. After that, tempura stalls of stalls disappeared, and the number of specialty tempura stores increased. Also, in a downtown there is a tempura shop for ordinary people as a type of dishes (or for children and students), and such a tempura also appears in Oda Sakunosuke's novel "Meotozenzai" and its movie work doing.
