【history】
Tempura is based on a fried dish introduced from Portugal in the 16th century.
Cooking using oil was rare in Japan at that time, and it is said that it developed under the influence of Nanban culture.
In the Edo period, it became popular as a common taste served at street stalls, and the current style of frying shrimp, fish, and vegetables in a light batter was established
天ぷらは、16世紀にポルトガルから伝わった揚げ物料理が起源です。
当時の日本では油を使った調理法は珍しく、南蛮文化の影響を受けて発展したと言われています。
江戸時代には屋台の庶民の味として人気を博し、エビ、魚、野菜を薄衣で揚げる現在のスタイルが確立されました。
