Now it was time to eat. My friends took to me to a tempura place. Although it's part of a chain, the food was really good. They had a few set menus and there were two seafood options that were exactly the same except for the shrimp that they served. I'd heard of Kuruma-ebi before but didn't know what it looked like. I asked one of the chefs for some clarification and imagine my surprise when his answer was to drop one on the table in front of me.
