The Jinbeh Story
Combines our crispy tempura technique with the precision of hand-rolled maki. At Jinbeh, tempura uses a thick batter for maximum crunch, distinct from the lighter 'agedashi' style.
Origin & Tradition
Tempura was introduced to Japan by Portuguese missionaries in the 16th century. The Japanese refined the batter to become whisper-thin. Rolling tempura inside sushi is a modern Japanese-American creation.

The crunch when you bite through the roll is the star moment. The tempura batter shatters, the cool rice gives way, and the creamy avocado smooths everything together.
