In the star eel tempura set meal, the white rice has a delicate texture, and the draft beer is refreshing and delicious. However, the star eel has a fishy taste, which affects the overall flavor and did not meet expectations.
Reviewer with Braces: The airport restroom is clean 👍
After exiting through Terminal 2 at Narita Airport, I chose "Nihonbashi Tamai" to conclude my trip in Japan. The restaurant clearly indicated at the entrance that it had been recommended by Michelin Bib Gourmand for four consecutive years, so I was eager to give it a try. I ordered the anago tempura set meal (star eel tempura set) for 3,410 yen plus a draft beer for 770 yen, totaling 4,180 yen. The set included a large piece of star eel, shrimp, okra, sweet potato, pumpkin, lotus root, a bowl of white rice, soup, and pickled vegetables. The white rice was delicate, and the draft beer met Japanese standards, being refreshing and tasty. However, the other ingredients were mediocre, especially the star eel, which was disappointing due to its strong fishy taste that affected the overall flavor. What started as an expectation did not fulfill, and I ultimately felt that this meal was not worth the price, especially for a restaurant that promotes itself with a Michelin recommendation; it was somewhat unacceptable.
