...kari, since this is your last birthday in japan for the time being, for your 27th we'll have to send you some savory japanese food like this, not to say that a killer japanese restaurant can't open up in redding (ca) in the coming year...

hey amy, i'm no tempura expert, but i think the crispiness level is generally higher here than in the states...here's a couple reasons why...first, japanese tempura is supposed to be made by dunking the food item (shrimp, vegetables, etc) into very cold batter and then putting the cold battered item immediately into very hot, high-quality oil...second, reusing oil is a no-no in most decent places...it's quickly changed...or so i've heard...
