Looking for seafood? Need a Lenten treat? Trying to get more crunch into your life? Tenya has you covered! With their staple Asakusa Special Tendon and tasty vegetarian options like Yasai Tendon, there\u2019s something for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tempura is perfect for this season. Did you know? \u2018tempura\u2019 actually comes from the Latin word \u2018tempora\u2019 which was the word for the Lenten season. Portuguese missionaries introduced the practice of deep-frying seafood and vegetables to delight converts during Lent. After a while, locals associated the name \u201ctempora\u201d with the dish, and \u2018tempura\u2019 was born! Next time you order tempura at Tenya, you have the Portuguese missionaries to thank for every delicious bite!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Asakusa Special Tendon, the classic tempura, is named after the historical district in Tokyo. It\u2019s crunchy and tasty with a kick of Tenya\u2019s special don tare sauce!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you love ramen, there\u2019s also Hokkaido Butter Ramen<\/strong>. In Hokkaido, locals wanted to put a spin on the traditional dish, adding milk, corn, and butter for a creamier soup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
