A day after Naruse, I visited another tempura restaurant, Numata, in Osaka. It was another outstanding experience with a perfect balance between seafood and vegetables. The batter was still extremely light but maybe just a bit heavier than Naruse (not a bad thing for me). Quality of ingredients was excellent but I think Naruse’s just seemed top of the top. Standouts were the clam appetizer, ayu tempura, baby corn, potato, zucchini stuffed with shrimp and the rice dishes. They also had special white asparagus from France that they made a great soup out of as a starter. Definitely recommend if in Osaka
