Ginza is a Tokyo neighborhood where tradition blends seamlessly with cutting-edge trends.
“Tempura Ginza Onodera Higashi Ginza” is a restaurant that embodies the sophistication of Ginza’s refined atmosphere through its cuisine.
Luxurious tempura featuring Kuroge wagyū beef
We’d like to take some time to introduce Tempura Ginza Onodera Higashi Ginza’s “Japanese Harmony Course,” which allows you to enjoy both tempura and sushi.
This lavish 12-dish course, priced at 38,500 JPY (tax included) per person, incorporates seasonal, high-end ingredients. As ingredients in the course change based on seasonal availability, each visit offers new flavor experiences.
Uni used in tempura
Vegetables used in tempura
The course’s tempura selection features five varieties, mainly fresh vegetables and seafood. There’s also creative tempura using Kuroge wagyū (Japanese Black) beef, reflecting Ginza’s playful spirit of weaving trends into traditional Japanese cuisine.
Kuroge wagyu tempura
The Kuroge wagyu tempura is prepared rare with a light, crispy coating. At Tempura Ginza Onodera Higashi Ginza, the batter is kept particularly thin so that diners can fully appreciate the quality ingredients’ flavors.
The tempura is also topped with luxury ingredients: uni sea urchin, and truffle.
The uni melts in your mouth with its sweetness, while soy sauce and freshly grated wasabi add subtle accents.

Following this, the rich aroma and flavor of truffle spreads on your palate, and will have you closing your eyes in a moment of bliss! You’ll be able to savor multiple levels of umami in each bite.
Another innovative tempura dish is the “Deep-fried Horsehair Crab Shell.” This dish features horsehair crab fried in its shell, then topped with egg yolk tempura and caviar.
Toppings for the Deep-fried Hair Crab Shell depend on available ingredients
Both the crab and egg yolk are cooked to perfection, showcasing the chef’s expertise. This combination tempura allows you to savor two flavors in one dish.
First, taste the crab meat just on its own to appreciate its delicious sweetness. Then, break the egg yolk tempura with a spoon and mix it with the crab meat.
The creamy yolk adds pleasant textural contrast and enriches the overall flavor to perfection!
Champagne! The perfect pairing with tempura
Tempura Ginza Onodera Higashi Ginza promotes a concept they call “Champura” – enjoying champagne with tempura.
The restaurant offers about 20 different types of champagne
The subtle tartness and light taste of champagne perfectly complement the flavors and umami of the ingredients, and there’s an ideal balance where neither the tempura nor the champagne overpower the other.
This innovative pairing is made possible by the high quality of the ingredients used at the restaurant!
A five-piece sushi platter featuring topnotch ingredients
“鮨 銀座おのでら 握り五貫,” Sushi Ginza Onodera 5-nigiri Platter
The course concludes with a 5-nigiri sushi platter, featuring sushi such as medium-fatty tuna and kohada (Japanese gizzard shad).
The sushi is sourced from “Sushi Ginza Onodera,” an affiliated restaurant located within the same building.

The sushi ingredients change seasonally; at the time of coverage, they included medium-fatty tuna, lean tuna, Japanese gizzard shad, striped jack, and surf clam.
The tuna is sourced from Yamayuki, a world-renowned tuna wholesaler, ensuring high quality in freshness, quality, and taste.

The sushi pieces are generously cut to allow full appreciation of the ingredients’ flavors. The thick-cut gizzard shad is vinegar-cured, spreading umami and a subtle tartness across your palate.
All other sushi pieces are also exquisite, prepared with time and care.

The sushi rice used is Hitomebore from Akita Prefecture, selected by a certified Rice Meister, a specialist in quality rice.
To match the strong flavors of the fish, the rice is seasoned with red vinegar, which is based on sake lees and long-aged for intense umami.
Due to the generous size of the sushi pieces, even just five pieces provide great satisfaction and could be considered the course’s main attraction!
For those seeking an elevated dining experience, the Japanese Harmony Course at Tempura Ginza Onodera Higashi Ginza is a perfect way to indulge in the essence of Japanese culinary culture.
Every dish in the course conveys the restaurant’s strong passion for Japanese cuisine!
