京都 Kyoto : 天ぷら:天周 / Tempura "Tenshu"

On the second day in Kyoto, I had a dish called "ten-don (天丼)", a bowl of plain steamed rice topped with various tempura such as prawns, sea eels called "anago" in Japanese, and "kakiage", tempura with mixed small pieces of ingredients. I chose the last one, "kakiage (かき揚げ)". The ingredients of kakiage slightly differ in each shop. But it should contain shrimps and seasonal vegetables.
As you can see in the pictures below. The topping is huge. This is one of the best aspects of this shop. The other is that tempura is fried in "sesame oil" instead of "vegetable oil". The sesame oil gives a distinctive aroma and taste to fried ingredients.
