Tenmusu

Tenmusu, also known as Tempura Shrimp Sushi, is a unique fusion dish that combines elements of traditional Japanese cuisine. It is a popular dish in the Chūbu region of Japan, particularly in Nagoya.

History

The origins of Tenmusu can be traced back to the post-World War II era in Japan. It was first created in the city of Nagoya, located in the Chūbu region. The dish was a result of the fusion of two popular Japanese dishes: Tempura and Onigiri (rice ball). The idea was to combine the crispy texture of tempura with the convenience and portability of onigiri.

Preparation

The preparation of Tenmusu involves several steps. First, shrimp is coated in a batter and deep-fried to create tempura. The tempura is then wrapped in a ball of sushi rice, forming an onigiri. Finally, the onigiri is wrapped in a sheet of Nori (seaweed), completing the Tenmusu.

Serving

Tenmusu is typically served with a side of soy sauce for dipping. It can be enjoyed as a main dish or as a snack. It is a popular choice for bento boxes due to its portability and ease of eating.

Cultural Significance

Tenmusu holds a significant place in Japanese cuisine due to its unique fusion of two traditional dishes. It represents the innovative spirit of Japanese cooking and the country's ability to adapt and evolve its culinary traditions.
