MUST TO EAT #3: TEMPURA

Tempura is a popular element of Japanese cuisine, and consists of a selection of fresh prawns and vegetables deep-fried in a thin layer of light and crispy batter. It is served with a traditional dipping sauce made from dashi (soup stock), soya sauce and mirin (a sweet cooking sake).

On the other hand, Tempura is also served with salt in Japan instead of the dipping sauce.

Tempura is distinguished from many other battered and deep fried foods by being much lighter and tending to carry less grease.

Tempura is served at many Japanese-style restaurants.
