Tempura has been with us for about three centuries. but it's origins came when 2 cultures combined...it was the Portuguese missionaries living in Nagasaki in 1549 introduced it, tempura has become entrenched in Japanese culture. The original tempura dish was served during Lent, an annual Christian event where many Christian denominations are forbidden to eat meat. the name ‘tempura’ stems from the Latin phrase ‘ad tempora cuaresme,’ meaning “in the time of Lent.” it was mistaken for the dish’s name, and tempura came to stay. Modern chefs have unique ideas on tempura, and they don’t only use fish or vegetables. Almost anything goes into tempura these days.
