During the Kyoto trip, I found myself along the shops in the Nishiki market. The shops had treats like spicy ice cream and wagyu sticks. Needless to say, walking through that street hungry was a bad idea. But alas, that is in fact what I did. So as I scanned the array of options for a snack, something caught my eye. It was crab tempura. I’ve never seen anything other than vegetables as tempura so I thought “hmm I wonder if this will be good” but I decided not to get it because what if something better was just around the corner?

There were many options around the corner, but that crab tempura was stuck in my head. I guess that meant I had to try it! So I did, and it was amazing. The best tempura I’ve ever had 🙂
