Ippoh, Osaka’s oldest tempura specialist, has just arrived in Singapore. Its new casual dining concept, Ippoh Tempura Bar by Ginza Ippoh, takes over 1,200 sq ft at its 18-seater COMO Dempsey space. That includes a 12-seat tempura bar where you can settle in and watch the tempura action unfold right in front of you.
Chef Masaru Seki, a fifth generation member of the restaurant’s founding family, will bring Ippoh’s light and crispy Osaka-style tempura to our shores from his Tokyo Ginza eatery. Made with fresh and premium ingredients, each tempura piece is individually fried in safflower oil for maximum flavour.
If you’re heading over for lunch, expect to fork out anywhere from $60 to $100 for the set menus, which include tempura and kakiage (tempura of chopped veggies and seafood) with rice and miso soup. For the dinner set, price tags go from $140 to $200, and include appetisers, sashimi and tempura.
Ippoh Tempura Bar by Ginza Ippoh is at Blk 17B Dempsey Rd. Lunch: daily noon-2.30pm; Dinner: Sun-Thurs 6pm-9.30pm, Fri, Sat, PH & PH eve 6pm-10.30pm.
