How to book Tenpa
- Tenpa publishes no phone number and lists no online booking service, which usually means its seats go to regulars and their guests. A concierge at a luxury hotel is the best chance of a table.
- Anniversaries and birthdays: the restaurant prepares a celebration if you ask when you book (a dessert plate with your message, a cake or a surprise). More in Osaka.
- Dining alone: recommended for one by Tabelog's users; say you are one when you book. Solo dining in Osaka.
