MK Guide Recommends
Tempura Meshi Kaneko Hannosuke is a staple of Nihombashi’s lunch scene, known for its crispy, golden tempura served over rice in tall bowls of tendon. The main store is located just off the main street, often with lines forming before it opens. Inside, the vibe is quick yet attentive — tempura is fried fresh behind the counter, featuring seasonal seafood, vegetables, and a signature soft-boiled egg. There’s no pretense, just skill and timing. No reservations are taken, but the turnover stays steady. It’s a popular spot for office workers, travelers, and anyone willing to wait for quality tempura.
