Frying tempura for half a century since its founding in 1973, Mitsumura continues its craft in a standalone shop near Shimizu Station in Kita Ward, Nagoya City. Its signature dish is the kakiage-don, featuring thick fritters packed with plump shrimp coated in a sweet and savory sauce, attracting lines of diners before opening eager for the fragrant aroma of sesame oil and crisp, fresh-fried crunch. Options are varied, including a special bowl with double the shrimp or combinations with squid and conger eel, all complemented by shijimi clam red miso soup and refreshing pickles that lighten the palate after fried fare. At the 11 counter seats on the 1st floor, diners can watch the chef's deft skills up close enveloped in frying sounds and scents, making it ideal for a solo lunch. The 2nd floor offers tatami seating (zashiki) and table seats to accommodate families and larger groups. The entire establishment is non-smoking, and parking spaces are conveniently available in front of and behind the shop.
