What you're trying to book
Chef Fumio Kondo opened his Ginza tempura counter in 1991 after 20 years apprenticing. Two Michelin stars consecutively since 2008; won the 2024 Tokyo Mentor Chef Award. The food is lighter than Tokyo's other famous tempura counters — the seasonal vegetable courses are the signature.
Lunch sittings at 12:00 and 13:30; dinner at 17:00, 18:00, 19:00, 20:00. Each sitting is a roughly two-hour experience on the 9th floor of Sakaguchi Building in Ginza.
How reservations actually work
Phone at +81-3-5568-0923 is Japanese only. The English-language official site (tempura-kondo.com/en/) has its own reservation form — the cleanest path for a first-time overseas guest.
My Concierge Japan is the official English reservation partner, and handles the call for a small service fee. If you prefer a specific sitting time (e.g. the 19:00 dinner), phoning tends to get you more options than the form.
If you want Moshi Moshi to book it for you
Tempura Kondo is a clean Moshi Moshi case when the English form doesn't show your date, or when you want a specific sitting time. We call in polite Japanese, confirm the time, and send the confirmation in English.
For last-minute same-week bookings, the form is usually closed; the phone sometimes still has availability.
Early access
We’ll place the call for you.
Leave your email and the booking you want. We call Tempura Kondo in polite Japanese — you get the confirmation in English. No charge unless the reservation is made.

- Does Tempura Kondo accept reservations in English?
- Not directly — Tempura Kondo takes reservations by phone in Japanese. A limited English allocation is available via Official site (English); once those slots fill, the only path is a Japanese-language phone call. A hotel concierge or an AI-assisted booking service like Moshi Moshi can place the call on your behalf in keigo.
- How do I book Tempura Kondo from outside Japan?
- Official site (English) is the primary channel that accepts international cards and confirms in English. If those allocations are sold out, the only remaining route is a Japanese-language phone call to +81-3-5568-0923 — which a hotel concierge or Moshi Moshi can place for you.
- Where is Tempura Kondo located?
- Tempura Kondo is at 9F Sakaguchi Building, 5-5-13 Ginza, Chuo-ku, Tokyo, in the Ginza area of Tokyo, Japan.
- How far in advance should I book Tempura Kondo?
- 3–6 weeks in advance is usually enough for a weekend dinner. Holiday weekends, Saturday lunches, and counter seats with a particular chef should be booked earlier — 2 months is a safer buffer.
- Will I receive the booking confirmation in English?
- Tempura Kondo typically confirms reservations in Japanese, by phone. If you book through Moshi Moshi, the call is placed in polite Japanese on your behalf and you receive a written confirmation in English with the date, time, party size, address, and any specific instructions from the venue (deposit, cancellation policy, dress code, dietary notes).
