Served then presented us with the special tempura sauce already loaded with turnip. Tried a little- tasted nice, with a twinge of acidity.

2 shrimps- one was half-cooked (to be taken with salt); the other one was well done (to be dipped in sauce).
Half-cooked squid. Quite a big piece; cut sashimi style.

The most disappointing dish of the night: 太刀魚. Tasted very fishy; texture was not good. PickyEater noted that 太刀魚 normally tasted very fresh and repeated the same to server. Server explained that the eel was not in a good condition. Server also relayed our observations to the chef. Who did not respond.

In summary: 太刀魚 aside, high quality tempura. Batter was light and crispy.
