Press Release:

Japanese restaurants have gone past being trendy to becoming fixtures in the local dining scene. For true Japanese food connoisseurs, however, only a few hit the spot. One such destination is Tempura Japanese Grill, the perfect place to indulge in the best of what the world-class cuisine has to offer.

Just take half-Filipino Japanese national and businessman Bin Ikeda’s word for it. Dividing his time between the Philippines and Japan, Bin initially found it a challenge to find restaurants offering Japanese cuisine that remind him of the food he grew up with. But after having discovered Tempura Japanese Grill sometime in 2003, Bin’s search was over.

“Tempura is my favorite dish so the restaurant’s name was already particularly catchy for me,” he says. “Having tried their signature dishes, I can say that Tempura Japanese Grill lives up to its name.”

At Tempura Japanese Grill, diners can enjoy a full offering of Japanese cuisine, from classic dishes done the traditional way and contemporary dishes made unique with a Filipino twist. “I like how Tempura Japanese Grill incorporates Filipino and Japanese cooking traditions, especially coming from two different cultural backgrounds,” he says. “The core ingredients and quality of taste is very much in line with the Japanese standard but still suited to the Pinoy palate.”

Tempura Japanese Grills’s impressive menu boasts of starters, sushi, seafood, chicken, pork, beef, ramen and dessert. Bestsellers include Ebi Tempura, Teppanyaki, Spareribs Sansho Yaki, and Karaage.

Varied selections and generous portions encourage sharing, making Tempura Japanese Grill ideal for those looking to have a fun family dining experience.

Now married with three kids, Bin treats his family to Tempura Japanese Grill every Sunday to savor their favorite dishes like tempura, salmon sashimi and karaage. He and his family are regulars at the Convergys branch, which is just a quick drive from where they live.

“There are a lot of dishes I enjoy here that aren’t commonly available in Japan so that keeps me coming back for more,” he says. “For the excellent quality, it’s really good value for money.”

Like loyal patron Bin Ikeda, food-loving Pinoys can head to Tempura Japanese Grill to experience a variety of Japanese specialties without having to go over budget. Tempura Japanese Grill has 11 branches: Shopwise Araneta Center, Tomas Morato, Alabang Town Center, UN Avenue and Robinsons Midtown in Manila, Convergys Makati, SM Mall of Asia, Banawe in Quezon City, SM Pampanga, SM Cebu, and Trinoma.
