Only 8,000 servings of Tenya’s Veggie-Potato Tendon will be available across Japan from October 22, 2026. The colorful tendon won the gold award in Tenya’s sixth staff-created tendon contest.
The bowl was developed by a crew member at Tenya Chigasaki, with availability at participating Tenya restaurants during regular business hours. Sales will end without notice once the planned quantity has been reached, and the menu is not available through delivery or mobile ordering.
The main Veggie-Potato Tendon with miso soup costs ¥790 (tax included). A set with small soba or udon is ¥1,140, while the takeaway bento is ¥790. Tenya Week also offers the takeaway Premium Tendon Bento for ¥600 instead of ¥760 from October 12 to 18.

Tenya’s Restaurant Concept
Tenya is expanding its focus on the enjoyment of tendon and tempura, using seasonal ingredients and refining its modern Japanese restaurant design.
The dish grew from a crew member’s interest in vegetable tempura and was refined through repeated testing with colleagues at the Chigasaki restaurant. Its signature potato-salad tempura is designed to be crisp outside and creamy inside, while the vegetables add contrasting colors, flavors, and textures.
