Updated: Every Friday (restaurant / travel)
This time, I’d like to introduce a tempura bowl specialty restaurant located in the Tenjinbashisuji Rokuchome area of Osaka:
“Ebinoya Tenjinbashisuji Rokuchome.”
Tenjinbashisuji Shopping Street is known as a foodie paradise, and this is one of the popular spots where you can casually enjoy authentic tempura.
Today, I’ll focus on the Ebinoya Set Meal and the Two-Shrimp Tempura Bowl.
What Is Ebinoya?
Ebinoya is a tempura bowl specialty restaurant known for its freshly fried tempura and flavorful sauce.
The interior is bright and clean, with plenty of counter seating, making it easy to visit even alone.
All tempura is fried after you order, so you can always enjoy it hot and crispy.
Another highlight is the all-you-can-eat spicy cod roe (mentaiko), which adds to the restaurant’s great value.
Ebinoya Set Meal
First, the Ebinoya Set Meal.
This set allows you to enjoy tempura separately from the rice, and includes:
Shrimp tempura
Vegetable tempura
Several other types of tempura
The freshly fried tempura has a light, crispy batter that isn’t greasy, allowing the natural flavors of the ingredients to shine.
You can dip it in tempura sauce or place it on top of rice—
being able to enjoy it your own way is one of the best parts of this set meal.
Two-Shrimp Tempura Bowl
Next is the Two-Shrimp Tempura Bowl.
This classic tempura bowl features two large shrimp tempura placed generously over rice.
The sweet and savory special sauce soaks into the rice,
and when combined with the crispy tempura, it creates an irresistible combination.
The shrimp are plump and satisfying, delivering exactly what you’d expect from a great tempura bowl.
Highly recommended for those looking for a hearty meal.
All-You-Can-Eat Mentaiko
One thing you absolutely can’t miss at Ebinoya is the all-you-can-eat mentaiko.
With its spicy and savory flavor, it pairs perfectly with rice.
It also provides a nice contrast between bites of tempura, adding variety to the meal.
Be careful—it’s so good that you might end up eating way more rice than planned! (laughs)
