Serving What You Wished For: Tenya Serves Up The New Winter Seafood Tendon For Make-A-Wish Foundation

Black Tiger Prawn. Soft-Shell Crab. Norwegian Salmon. Kani Stick. Nori. Green Beans. It's everything you wished for, and you can have it at Tenya. It's a Tenya Christmas feast in a bowl...

For a limited time, Tenya serves up its new Winter Seafood Tendon with the freshest and finest catch from the sea. And what makes this new tempura donburi special is that part of the proceeds will be donated to the Make-A-Wish Foundation throughout the holiday season. Think of it as an all-star cast of pure tendon perfection coming together for a noble cause, masterfully prepared with that unique Tenya touch (for more on Tenya, see my previous posts, A Peek at the Next Japanese Food Trend... on a special sneak preview of Tenya,  A Tenya Stopover: Tenya Opens Second Branch at Bonifacio Stopover on the brand's expansion, #DiscoverNewMOAEats: Delectable Discoveries at SM Mall of Asia's New North Wing on its third branch, and Tempura Tendon Tenya Unleashes the Tendon Invasion at SM Megamall on its first branch at SM Megamall). It's everything you wished for, and you'll find it at Tenya. 

And it's the perfect reason to visit Tenya this holiday season to indulge in a sumptuous selection of the finest seafood and help give back, even in a small way, to make one child's dream come true with the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Pair your special donburi with the new special edition Cranberry Grapefruit Cooler (P 115)...

...to complete the holiday vibe at Tenya. Tehya also offers an equally refreshing Pineapple Spritz Cooler with its sweet and tart notes. Choosing the Make-A-Wish Foundation was the perfect choice for Tenya, with its special focus on children. "We chose the Make-A-Wish Foundation, because we believe that children are a reflection of true happiness and making their wishes come true this season of joy is a way of spreading good cheer through our food," explained Tenya's General Manager Iggy Ramos.  And Tenya's new Winter Seafood Tendon fits the bill, with its tempting assortment of fresh seafood prepared in that distinctive style that made Tenya one of the well-loved tendon chains back in Japan. It's also one of many innovative seasonal creations from Tenya (for more on Tenya's previous seasonal offerings, check out my earlier posts, A Tenya Christmas with Tenya Tempura Tendon's Holiday Ooedo and Jyu Sets on last year's holiday specials, Winter's Coming: Tenya's New Snow Crab Tendon on the succulent snow crab variant, and Fresh Start: Tenya's New Cherry Blossom Tendon on its special spring variant). Diners can enjoy the new Winter Seafood Tendon in one sumptuous Bowl (P 395) with Japanese Red Pickled Ginger and Miso Soup, or go for the Teishoku Set (P 425) with Japanese Red Pickled Ginger, Japanese Potato Salad and Miso Soup. Either way, you'll be enjoying one of Tenya's best seasonal offerings while helping the Make-A-Wish Foundation for a meaningful holiday feast this Christmas season.

And why not try something different with the new Winter Seafood Tendon, with Tenya's signature Flavored Salts. Available in three unique flavors, Yuzu, Wasabi and Curry, a dip in the flavored salt brings out the clean, fresh flavors and briny sweetness of the seafood tendon while retaining its delectable crispness with every bite. 

The Winter Seafood Teishoku Set (P 425) has all the signature flavors of Tenya neatly served on a tray, with a bowl of Japanese steamed white rice, Japanese Potato Salad, Miso Soup and tempura dipping sauce with finely grated radish and ginger. The plump and succulent Japanese Tiger Prawn delivers an audible snap and crunch with every bite, releasing its fresh briny notes. Dip it in the flavored Yuzu Salt and the vibrant flavors pop up. 

The Kani Stick delivers a fresh and subtle sweetness, while the Green Beans offers both rich flavors and texture. It's what Tenya does best, and you get it all with the new Winter Seafood Teishoku. 

The soft-shell crab is a flavorful addition to the set, offering a briny richness along with its delectable textural contrast with each and every bite. And the best part? You don't even have to gingerly pick out the succulent crab meat, simply go for a big bite.  

The buttery texture and flavor of the premium Norwegian Salmon lines the palate with its richness, capped by the lightly crisp tempura batter. Pure tendon perfection.

You can enjoy Tenya's newest variant until January 15, 2018, so better hurry. The new Winter Seafood Teishoku Set is everything you wished for, and your satisfying feast at Tenya will help one child's dream come true with a donation to the Make-A-Wish Foundation. And that's what Christmas is all about...
