The tempura location most reputed for its set menus (of which the smallest one was always ample food but meant you didn't get to try some of the more unique dishes) was Tsunahachi. Nestled in Shinjuku east the fresh fried hot tempura was delicious. Of particular note was always the mash of curled prawns in a giant fritter toward the end.
The second set of photos started off with some sashimi, then the procession of fried goodness.
My first visit was in January 2005 and I'll definitely be back again.
