Tendon (lit. Heaven Bowl), is a Japanese dish that is described as a Deep-fried Bowl from Heaven. It is sprayed with a sauce before serving that is usually sweet along with a nori sheet. The name Tendon is short for Tempura Donburi which causes confusion from the "ten-" which is the word for heavenly.
The History of Tendon is a everyday sort of food that was eaten by Japan residents in the Meiji era and is tied to the history of Tempura. In the Edo era there was a theory that a soba restaurant in Shimbashi that made it to accompany other dishes and another tempura restaurant in Asakusa had possibly had made it as well. No one really knows for sure, but people sure like to discuss it and compare their stories. Additional toppings tend to include: Cold Tofu, Burdock Root Salad, Soft-Boiled Egg, Grated Daikon Radish, and/or Grated Yam. A Tendon usually is a collection of fried food that has types like: Shrimp, Scallop, Squid, Horse Mackeral (Aji), Whiting Fish (Kisu), Octopus, Lotus Root, Sweet Potato, Pumpkin, Green Beans, Eggplant, and Maitake Mushroom. Deep fried bowls using the tempura deep-fry method are under "ten" category.
