Concept
Cherish every moment of your trip. The meal begins with a toast with everyone. We invite you to make a toast with your neighbors as well.
We also offer beverage pairings to accompany your tempura.
Tempura is the best of each season.
We will prepare the beverages to match the meal. Let us help.
Characteristics of our restaurant
Our commitment to tempura.
We use vegetable oil made from a proprietary blend of aromatic white sesame oil and rapeseed oil.
Tempura Asakusa SAKURA’s tempura is completely gluten-free, using no wheat flour at all. By using rice flour instead of wheat, our tempura is crispy and light.
Also, a special frying method allows the batter to absorb only about half of the normal amount of oil. It is a very healthy tempura. *1
And although we do not take halal recognition, we do not use pork and we use vegetable oil.
Attention to ingredients.
We purchase live prawns every day and cook them in the restaurant to provide you with the freshest prawns.
The squid is smoked with cherry chips and the charcoal is kneaded into the batter to make it aromatic.
Smoked squid tempura, which can only be found here.
For the green onions, we use Senju green onions, a traditional vegetable that is associated with the Asakusa area and offers sweetness and the original aroma of green onions.
The thick-sliced sweet potatoes are made from Beni Azuma, a sweet potato, and are deep-fried 10 minutes before the customer’s arrival time, taking 40 minutes to bring out the sweetness.
The shiitake mushrooms are served with truffle salt, and the pecoros with green tea salt.
Of course, we are particular about the beverages we serve.
If you are going to enjoy delicious tempura, be sure to pair it with sake.
Sake pairings will be served with tempura, including the famous Otters, super dry sake, sweet cloudy sake, sparkling champagne-like sake, and an original blend of sour sake and fruity enzymes.
For those who want to drink alcohol but are not that strong on alcohol, we also recommend the half-pairing, in which half the amount of sake is used.
And for those who can’t drink alcohol, we also offer unique non-alcoholic pairings such as homemade enzyme drinks, Japanese tea, ginger ale with lots of ginger, and craft cola.
The pleasure of eating freshly fried seasonal tempura.
Enjoy Tempura Asakusa SAKURA’s tempura that is different from the rest.
*1) Tempura sauce contains a very small amount of flour. For those with allergies, please enjoy tempura with salt.
Philosophy
In Japan, there is a culture of “Hanami” (cherry blossom viewing) where people gather under cherry trees in spring to eat rice and drink alcohol.
Tempura Asakusa SAKURA wants to be a restaurant that provides a fun hanami culture all year round.
Delicious tempura and conversation with the waiters and neighboring travelers.
It is not just about enjoying a meal, but an emotional moment.
Here is a little memory.
When I was in elementary school, my mother took me on a trip to Europe. The most memorable restaurant from this trip was a small, very ordinary restaurant in the Spanish countryside.
When we didn’t have smart phones and couldn’t read Spanish, the chef told us whether the dish was pork or chicken by morphological imitation.
We enjoyed our meal with the locals who were in the restaurant, laughing with our stomachs through their communion.
I would like to share with you some moments of “deliciousness” and “fun.
We hope to provide everyone who visits Tempura Asakusa SAKURA with a memorable and enjoyable time. That is our highest wish.
CEO Takehiro Iida

Maki2024-04-06As a first-timer at this charming tempura haven in Asakusa, I was swept away by the freshly fried delights of their vegetable course; each bite was a crispy, delicious revelation, perfectly accompanied by a superb selection of Japanese sake. The place radiates friendliness, and the staff's willingness to engage in warm conversation added a personal touch to the fun experience. The gluten-free and vegetarian options ensured everyone's satisfaction. The fresh seafood is not to be missed, and the unique enzyme drinks were a cheery bonus. With the cherry blossoms in bloom and the clinks of "cheers" amidst the no smoke ambiance, this spot is an absolute must-visit for any tempura enthusiast.
