A
Ten-Ichi
Since 1930 Ten-Ichi has rightfully earned its reputation as Tokyo’s go-to spot for tempura, which is supernaturally light and nongreasy here. The dignified dining area at the flagship Ginza restaurant has hosted royalty and corporate titans; if the set menus seem pricey, know that a single à la carte tempura prawn costs ¥1000. Book ahead. The entrance is on Namiki-dōri. Other locations include Akasaka.

Daikokuya
Near Nakamise-dōri, this is the place to get down-home tempura, an Asakusa speciality. The line out the door usually snakes around the corner at lunchtime, but if it looks unbearably long, try your luck at the branch on the next block. If there's no queue, look for the bench in front of this small, traditional building.
