Background
About Tempura-Ya
The Story
Tempura-Ya is a Japanese restaurant in L'Antiga Esquerra de l'Eixample, in Barcelona's Eixample district. It's a cozy space with Japanese motifs, open for both lunch and dinner, with daily lunch sets on the menu.
The Cuisine
The kitchen covers a few corners of Japanese cooking at once: nigiri sushi, tempura, and udon noodles. Tempura is the lightly battered, deep-fried style of vegetables and seafood; udon are thick wheat noodles usually served in broth; and nigiri is hand-pressed rice topped with fish. There are daily lunch sets too, plus vegetarian options.
The Team
The kitchen runs across sushi, the fryer, and the noodle station rather than specialising in just one. Daily lunch sets keep the midday menu turning over.
