市場の中で

The produce building of Toyosu Market, ground floor. Seven in the morning, and the oil starts to sing. Large prawn and anago. Tendon, nothing else. Thin batter, dropped straight from the fryer into the bowl. Eighteen seats, all tables. Sold out means done. Cash only. While the market moves, this is where the frying happens.

A close view of just-fried tempura — a piece of prawn tempura.

The Craft

ageru

ageru — to fry, to lift, to elevate

  1. Cold batter being drawn over a piece before frying (atmospheric image). Stage I

    衣付け

    Koromo-zuke

    The veil

    Cold batter, drawn thin. Flour barely woken by water — never enough to bury what it covers.

  2. Tempura bubbling in hot oil (atmospheric image). Stage II

    Abura

    The oil

    Bubbles rise in the oil, then quiet. The lift comes at the exact moment they settle.

  3. Tempura being arranged over rice in a bowl (atmospheric image). Stage III

    盛り付け

    Moritsuke

    The bowl

    Over hot rice, straight from the fryer. One brush of sweet-salty tare. Eat it at once.

A tendon bowl of large prawn and anago tempura over rice, glossed with tare.

The Oil

Fried, then into the bowl.

agetate — fresh from the oil

The moment it leaves the oil, it drops into the bowl. The tare goes on, the steam goes up. The scent of the oil holds to the last grain of rice.
