大黑家

Akasaka is like a must go touristy place, i've been here several times when i came as a kid with my grandparents. However it is my first try at 大黑家. I did some research before going, and almost everyone gave this place a shiny five star. 

street view :) I went early so some stores weren't even open!

Menu; you can also ask for english menu!

one thing i noticed when i sat down was that almost everyone around me are tourists. I hear people speaking in spanish, english, mandarin, and oh man even taiwanese too!

and finally.. our 1500 yen tendon! My first impression was that it's sooo dark compared to 葵丸進～the other tempura place i've tried before at Asakusa. I was a bit disappointed because i feel like they used too much 粉 on the outside, so on my first bite i had nothing but 粉.. my shrimp was probably half the size of that tempura lol...

Don't like this place :(
i think it's only famous because it's "touristy", probably explains why i don't see much japanese people around me when i was dining.
