All of it's branded with the Supreme logo, because heaven forbid you invite your crew over for yakitori chicken and shrimp tempura rolls without them getting the message that you went to a lot of trouble for this, dudes.

|
In Tokyo, there's the tempura at the Mandarin Oriental, Tokyo, fried in a dedicated gluten-free fryer, and on her trans-Atlantic journey on Cunard's Queen Mary 2, pancakes for breakfast and pastries midafternoon — all without wheat — were staples.
|
|
Apart from a fried pork rind the size of a dish towel, the items on the evening menu are generally wispy: a single, wonderful tempura shrimp with slices of yuzu-scented pear; an octopus croquette under streamers of bonito.
|
|

Gohei Kishi, Gordon Ramsey's Head of Asian Concepts at Maze and Maze Grill uses shiso—otherwise known as ooba, he informs me—for sushi because the intense cross between basil, fresh mint, and coriander goes really well with raw fish and tempura.
|
|
Beautiful, hulking tempura shrimp, battered in blue masa and jazzed up with chili and kaffir-lime powder, is even better, and a lettuce-leaf doily between shrimp and tortilla prevents sogginess, a problem with the overloaded chicken al pastor and pork-cheek carnitas.

|
While the others lounged on a blue tarp, guzzling beer and feasting on store-bought trays of sushi, tempura and onigiri, I spent the break huddled in a remote corner, convinced the next few hours were going to take years off my life.

|
|
A bowl of super-salty fries, jazzed up with kombu, is a questionable prelude to such a starchy main course, but you might want two orders of the sliced avocado, drizzled with tsuyu, a soy-mirin-dashi sauce, and finished with crunchy tempura flakes.

The Israeli-born chef Yotam Ottolenghi, of Nopi and the Ottolenghi delis in London, deep-fries sage to intensify its flavor, then sprinkles it on dishes for a staccato of crunch — or turns whole leaves of basil and chervil into tempura, to be dipped in vinegar.

Meat, however, makes up only a portion of the menu — more space is dedicated to small plates like you might find at an izakaya, such as a grilled avocado topped with a slow-cooked egg and a garlic and almond chimichurri, or tako tempura, tasty battered and fried chunks of octopus.
|
|
The kitchen makes only five Wokuni-dons a day, though, so chances are you will have to content yourself with the kaisen-don, and chances are that even though it doesn't include tempura, the $18 you pay will still seem like one of the best raw-fish deals in town.
|
|
So get cracking on all those delicious snacks and apps for your guests — jalapeno poppers, pizza rolls, gourmet mac 'n cheese balls (the ones with the fancy cheese, because it's a party), or those veggie tempura sticks — because no New Year's resolution is going to hold you back from fun.

People in Austin are still kind of yokels when it comes to spots like Uchi, so you'll want to make a reservation so you're not waiting around for a table with a bunch of goofballs in Longhorns ball caps, cargo shorts, and flip-flops, but the tempura alone will make it worth it.

One afternoon toward the end of our vacation, settling into our seats at a tempura restaurant in Shibuya, I looked across the table at Amy, who was wearing a varsity sweater from Kapital that looked to have bloodstains and bits of brain on it, and at Gretchen, with her toilet-brush hat on.

Purists might dispute the idiosyncratic unfolding of kaiseki at the haute Odo, half-hidden like a speakeasy at the back of a cocktail bar in the Flatiron district of Manhattan, where Hiroki Odo has been known to forsake tempura in the agemono (fried) course in favor of a French croquette heavy with béchamel.

The couple sitting next to me, from Trondheim, in the middle of Norway's long coastline, insisted I try the tempura cod tongue with cod roe fried in butter and celeriac shavings — a rich Nordic comfort-food home run of a dish that paired perfectly with a glass of Côtes du Jura Les Gaudrettes chardonnay.
|
|
There is also a fritto misto with a thin, light, frilly crust that a Japanese tempura specialist would admire; a hamachi crudo whose curls of raw, pink fish look like waves breaking over bits of oranges and pools of avocado-and-basil purée; and a kale-and-quinoa salad that sounds like penance but ends up being totally charming.
|
|

As he picks up his knife "("Sugimoto—they're the only ones I use") and finely chops spring onion and shiso leaves before mixing into the seasoned minced chicken, Lee-Joe tells me: "We wanted to bring a sense of an izakaya to East London, but if you look at their menus, it can be quite scattered—tempura, sushi, yakitori.
|

At the Japanese place where he dines on Thursdays, he sits at the same seat, on the far edge of the bar, to await what the bartender calls Newman's usual: a teriyaki chicken bowl (sauce on the side) and a lava roll (shrimp tempura and avocado topped with yellowfin tuna and sauce) complemented by a healthy pour of pinot noir.

Heads Up On a recent weeknight at Ahiru Store, a gastro wine bar in the Tomigaya neighborhood of Tokyo, the seven guests lucky enough to grab a spot at the counter noshed on dishes like freshly made pâté, French-style onion pie, avocado and octopus salad, and what might be best described as a pan-fried take on shrimp tempura.
|
|
And, of course, I'm using the occasion to bring forth a couple of great old Red Cat recipes The Times has picked up over the years, including one for Bradley's tempura-fried green beans with spicy-sweet mustard sauce and another for his hepcat stoner-food melty-cheese salad extravaganza, essentially fondue topped with a bacon-flecked potato salad and topped again with endive and arugula.

Our server, an elegant Japanese woman in a sharp black blazer, told us to think of the second course, a multitude of two-bite dishes arranged on an oblong tray, as the table of contents for the rest of the meal: ankimo (monkfish liver) pâté; a skewer of lobster sashimi daubed with salty-tart preserved plum; a tiny porcelain cup of chawanmushi (savory custard); enoki-mushroom tempura, like a lacy fan of coral, with a cube of fresh persimmon.
