Specializing in traditional Tendon (short for tempura donburi), "Shitamachi Tendon Akimitsu" was started by Mr Akimitsu Tanihara in Asakusa, Tokyo, which is the birthplace of Tendon.

Bringing along his years of experience as the 5th generation successor of "Dote-no-Ise-ya", a 128-year-old Tendon shop, his self- created masterpiece, [Godaime Tendon], loosely translated as 5th Generation Tendon won the gold medal at the Japan Donburi Awards for 3 years in a row.
