Tempura Yamaya A Japanese tempura restaurant ready to bring the culinary culture of Kyushu to the heart of Bangkok. The secret behind the flavor that has captivated many for years is Karashi Mentaiko, meticulously crafted in-house at Yamaya. Using premium-grade fish roe, it is carefully fermented in a secret recipe soy sauce for an impressive 168 hours. The sauce is simmered for hours until it deeply penetrates the meat, imparting a well-balanced flavor with a mild spiciness and a refreshing aroma of yuzu peel from Kyushu. The restaurant intentionally reduces the saltiness to pair perfectly with rice, making it enjoyable with every meal. This is a premium delicacy that Japanese people typically purchase as a gift, but at this restaurant, you can savor it to your heart's content without hesitation.
The restaurant serves Hakata-style tempura, which is freshly fried and emphasizes lightness, thinness, and crispiness. This is achieved by using a special batter that is thinner than typical tempura batter, which brings out the true flavors of the ingredients. The tempura is fried until it is crispy yet tender. The light, non-greasy texture is perfect for continuous consumption. Enjoy it with our rich tempura sauce, made from six premium Japanese ingredients and carefully selected salt. This sauce offers a perfect umami flavor in every bite.
In addition, the restaurant carefully selects ingredients that can be called the king of tempura for you to savor. From large, succulent tiger prawns with a firm, satisfying bite to dishes designed to elevate your dining experience to the highest level, such as tender Japanese scallops with a sweet, juicy texture and crispy, fluffy uni wrapped in ooba leaves, every element is meticulously crafted. Starting with fresh, high-quality ingredients, precise cooking techniques, and unlimited side dishes, every aspect is carefully curated to ensure that every customer experiences the joy and satisfaction of authentic Japanese cuisine.✨
