Underwhelming Tempura — expected more

I was looking forward to Tempura here based on the reputation. The reality was disappointing. The subtly sweet and salty character that makes this dish special was muted — either from shortcuts with dashi stock or from scaling up production at the expense of quality.

seasonal ingredients guide the menu in traditional settings. The a conveyor belt sushi bar setting I was hoping for wasn't quite there either. cold Sapporo beer was available but not suggested appropriately. I've had much better versions elsewhere. Two stars because the dish concept is sound; the execution let it down.
