Excellent Tempura restaurant, that also serves a variety of fresh fishes and other Japanese cuisine dishes . Can be very crowdy on lunch time and reservation is preferable. Offers smoking and nonsmoking sections. Nice hospitality. A former Japanese \Minka\ style house.
The best Tempura experience ever even as a Japanese. Though the prices are not shown on the menus, they are very fairly priced, even cheaper given such a quality food not limited to Tempura but also Sashimi and many others.
The kind of dining experience you would love if you like traditional establishments where locals frequent and grew up with. Tempura and sashimi being the main items on the handwritten menu (updated daily), we also ordered the tsumire soup which was a comforting fish broth perfect for a chilly autumn evening. Service was a tad hesitant at first, perhaps because we were tourists with a toddler seated at the counter in the smoking section, but after learning that we could communicate, the staff visibly relaxed and everyone was smiling by the end of the meal. Toraya is obviously a local favourite, judging by how happily the neighbouring salaryman started describing the restaurant's history, that he had grown up eating the tempura and that the menu hadn't changed much in 30 years! The batter was not as flaky as most other tempura, but just as crispy and fresh. Even though the fragrance of sesame oil hits your nostrils as you approach the restaurant, the tempura itself hardly bore any traces of it. Prices were reasonable as well - 5616 for a hearty meal for 3. Would recommend to anyone with a liking for traditional establishments that exude a real \feel\ and local atmosphere.
Best Tempura I've ever had!
