Tempura Kondo, てんぷら 近藤 (Tabelog Bronze 4.13, 2**) Ginza, Tokyo

Quick workday dinner at Kondo after grabbing a cancellation spot over Tabelog. Seating was at the hanare counter ran by Taisho’s son, for about 1 hour from seating to the finishing Ten-don. Overall quality is on-par with other establishments with similar price tags in town, but slightly lower in volume.
