All 5 Sweet Potato Dishes
#1Score 99/100
Kondo Signature Sweet Potato Tempura
Tempura KondoGinza·$$$$
¥500.00
A whole, thick-cut sweet potato fried slowly for 30 minutes until caramelized and meltingly tender.
Tip: This is non-negotiable! You must order it as an add-on to your course menu at the start of the meal, as it takes 30 minutes to prepare. The skin is remarkably crisp and savory—don't leave a single bit behind.
#2Score 99/100
Uchitsu Signature Sweet Potato Tempura
Tempura UchitsuHiroo·$$$$
¥25000.00
A whole, thick-cut sweet potato fried slowly until caramelized and meltingly tender.
Tip: This is non-negotiable! The skin is remarkably crisp and savory. It's the most comforting thing on the menu—don't share it if you can help it. The chef's timing is so precise that the inside is almost liquid.
#3Score 97/100

Tempura MotoyoshiDaikanyama·$$$$
¥25000.00
A whole seasonal sweet potato fried slowly until caramelized and meltingly tender.
