Tempura Master Takahashi-san joins Tenya Express on October 12 for a special tempura demonstration and an exclusive Premium Tendon available for one day only.
Something new is coming to Tenya Express at MITSUKOSHI BGC!
Starting October 12, Tenya Express will roll out a refreshed menu featuring a carefully curated selection of Japanese favorites. From the tempura and tendon dishes the brand is known for to new offerings created especially for its MITSUKOSHI BGC location, guests can look forward to more ways to enjoy authentic Japanese flavors.
For this menu refresh, the Tenya team took a closer look at what belongs on the Express menu and which dishes would keep guests coming back. The result is a combination of familiar Tenya favorites and exciting new options, with quality remaining at the heart of every dish.
As always, tempura takes center stage.
“This refresh is about being more intentional with what we offer at Tenya Express. We carefully reviewed and curated the menu to make sure every dish fits the Express experience while maintaining the quality we want Tenya to be known for,” said Cavallino’s Director of Operations, Adele Susana “Denise” Ramos. “We wanted to give our guests better choices, introduce something new, and make the overall experience easier and more enjoyable, while keeping tempura at the heart of the brand.”
A One-Day Premium Tendon by Tempura Master Takahashi-san
There’s another special reason to visit Tenya Express MITSUKOSHI BGC on October 12.
Joining the launch from Japan is Tempura Master Takahashi-san, who will lead a special tempura demonstration, giving guests an up-close look at the skills and techniques behind one of Tenya’s signature offerings.
For the occasion, Takahashi-san will also present an exclusive Surprise Premium Tendon, available for one day only on October 12, while supplies last.
The Tenya Philippines team has undergone training in Japan, learning the techniques and standards behind the brand’s signature tempura alongside Tempura Master Takahashi-san. His visit to Manila continues this connection, providing the local team with another opportunity to learn directly from the source while allowing Filipino guests to discover the craftsmanship behind every piece of tempura.
“I’m very happy to visit the Philippines and meet our Tenya guests,” said Tempura Master Takahashi-san. “It is often said that it takes 10 years of training to become a tempura master chef. Traditionally, this craftsmanship made tempura an expensive dish reserved for special occasions. At Tenya, we extensively studied the techniques of frying tempura and developed our Autofrying system, together with years of operation know-how. The Tenya system allows anyone who receives proper training to prepare tempura with consistent quality and authentic taste, without requiring years of specialized apprenticeship. I look forward to sharing that craft with our guests and preparing something special for them to enjoy.”
