Etymology
The word 'tempura' is derived from the Latin word 'tempora,' which refers to the Ember Days observed by the Catholic Church. It is believed that Portuguese missionaries introduced the technique of deep-frying foods to Japan in the 16th century. Over time, the dish evolved, incorporating Japanese culinary techniques and ingredients. Tempura became popular among the Japanese during the Edo period, and today it is a staple of Japanese cuisine enjoyed worldwide. The method emphasizes lightness and crispness, illustrating the aesthetic principles of Japanese cooking, such as highlighting the freshness and taste of each ingredient.
