浅草の老舗 大黒家 天麩羅 Tempura Daikokuya の紹介。明治20年創業の浅草を代表する天ぷら屋さんのひとつ。天ぷらが黒っぽく見えるのは、創業以来守ってきた、江戸前天ぷら特有のごま油と、甘辛く濃厚な独特なタレのため。この味に関しては好き嫌いが別れると思う。
It’s one of Asakusa’s most representative tempurarestaurants, founded in 1887. The tempura looks dark, which is because of the sesame oil typical for Edomae tempura and rich, flavorful, and salty-sweet. This sauce is made with the same recipe since the restaurant’s opening, a well-guarded secret. This is not to everybody's taste, I guess. People tend to love or hate it.
