Mikawa is Mountain Residence Tempura

Mikawa is Mountain Residence Tempura, like a hidden taste meditation in the forest. It’s not a restaurant, but more like a kitchen of the wind—outside the window are birdsong and tree shadows, inside is the blend of fragrant oil and tranquility. The chef is like a calligrapher of the wild, outlining the contours of the four seasons with crispy batter; every bite is a symphony of time and temperature.

What I remember most is the tempura starring wild mushrooms, as if the whole forest is sealed under a light, thin coat, melting with one bite, instantly unfolding the flavor of the land. Here, there is no pursuit of extravagance, only the ultimate expression through simplicity. Mikawa is not designed for fullness, but a slow ritual returning to the natural original taste, allowing people to find long-lost peace and respect between the tongue and soul beyond the urban hustle.
