Tenmusu
Japan · East Asia
- Short description
- This snack combines the portability of a rice ball with the crisp richness of shrimp tempura.
- Ingredients
- Rice balls wrapped in nori with shrimp tempura, tempura batter, salt, and pickles.
- Cultural note
- It works well as takeaway food because the nori and rice hold a fried filling without needing a full plate.
- Common misconception
- It is not a sushi roll; it is closer to a compact rice ball with a tempura filling.
