We spent three weeks in Japan shortly after it reopened to tourists in October 2022 and this is a vlog of our first time visiting Tokyo, including taking the Shinkansen train from Kyoto. We visit the teamLab Planets exhibition, taste some very disappointing tempura, drink coffee with robots, and try shabu shabu!

Awww. Hays is too adorable. you are very lucky traveling around the world, young man ๐
The restaurant you went is Nihonbashi Tendon Kaneko-Hannosuke.
Tendon is served with seasoning sauce over tempura, so it is not supposed to be crispy.
If you would like to eat hot crunchy tempura, I recommend you to go
Nihonbashi Tenpura-meshi Kaneko Hannosuke.
Tempra chef makes tempra in front of customers.
You better go to Tenpura (not Tendon) restaurant if you want to taste tenpura that you expected.
Tenpura of tendon serves with sauce so it's not so crispy and hot.

That is not precisely tempura per se. (it is "ten don", which is tempura donburi.). Those thingies (humongous shrimp!) were dipped in a broth/sauce, and that is why they are not crispy.
Hi! Visited this place a few days ago but didnโt see the floating garden. ๐ May I know which part it was please?
My family loved our Mimaru experience in Ueno!! Love your videos. They're so fun!!!!!
I canโt hardly wait for Team Lab Planet!!! It looks amazing! Ok that tempura dinner even disappointed me! After waiting in line for an hour, I would expect a great meal. ๐

The shop does not dip their tempura (some shop does. It's different styles). They add the sauce on top when plating. It should not have cold down and soggy the tempura unless it's been on hold a bit after frying? And the shop is a crispy style tendon shop. So being soggy is not on purpose.
There are shops serve crispy style tendon. And shops serve soggy style tendon, which dip them and have them soggy on purpose.
But the shop you went to is not a soggy style shop. Their owner promotes that his tendon is crispy. And there are mixed reviews on them, some says their tempura is crispy, some says it is soggy.
That said. For you to know, there are indeed many soaked and soggy style fried food in Japan. Sometime it is done purposely.
For example, one style of Katsudon is served with tonkatsu that had been soaked or boiled in sauce and egg, such Katsudon will be soggy for sure. Also there are udon shops that serve tempura in soup udon. Which make the tempura totally soggy in the soup. In these cases it is done on purpose. ๐ I think both styles has its charm.
