EBISU: Tendon Tenya... for a quick 500 yen Tempura bowl! Cheap Japanese eats franchise style...

Japan has so many of these little quick in and out restaurants.

Super filling if you are on a budget.

English Menus!

Reason why I entered was this big 500 yen sign outside.

And here we go Ten-Don with shrimp tempura and a few other pieces plus miso shiru.

Don't see these very often anymore but a huge Hummer parked near by.

ROPPONGI: Komoro Soba for some huge Shrimp Tendon on Sale!

Its very rare that I hit up a soba noodle place instead of ramen before heading home but occasionally I should stick to some seafood vs carbs. 3 Pieces for 490yen... thats all me!

But wait! 680yen super high ranked jumbo shrimp for 490yen! And 4 giant pieces instead of 3!

It didn't come with any sides like Miso soup but oh well... there is a ceramic bowl with free umeboshi's that were rather hard.

Overall it hit the spot and easy in easy out. If you are craving Tempura on a budget then check it out... but you will have to walk past a few ramen shops to get there... good luck!

JINBOCHO: Tendon Imoya for a bowl of Tempura-Tendon... but regular 550yen Tendon a must!

Its been a while since I last visited Tendon Imoya but I actually found my way here after finding out that my favorite Jinbocho Ramen Jiro is closed on Wednesdays~...

Only 2 items on the Menu. Tendon 550yen (1 piece of shrimp, white fish, squid, seaweed and something else) and the Shrimp Tendon 800yen (4 pieces of shrimp and 2 small green veggies).

There it is... my "Ebi Tendon" that includes green tea and a bowl of miso soup (with tiny clams that are famous for curing hangovers... Shijimi clams!). I believe you can order seconds on the soup for free.

"L" shaped counters eating and perfect view of the chef cooking... these guys usually have quite a few scars due to all the hot oil popping out of the pot thing.

In Jimbocho there are several Imoya's scattered about with each specializing in their own dish... Tonkatsu-Imoya (home of the mean unfriendly Tonkatsu chef) and Tempura Imoya.

JIMBOCHO: "TENDON Imoya" Ten-don (rice bowl) for 550yen

Authenti Japanese Ten-Don by chef's for only 550yen. You'll sit shoulder to shoulder with salarymen and university students (lots of universities in this area).

Menu is limited but most customers ordered the 550yen Ten-Don that consists of one piece of shrimp, fish, seaweed and ika (squid?). There is also a Tempura-Don with only Shrimp for 800yen.

2 chefs behind the counter will ask you "Tendon deskuka?" Just say "Hai" or say "Tempura Don kudasai" for the shrimp only rice bowl. Cup of hot tea will arrive first.
