7 JANUARY - National Tempura Day at Sambara Celebrations

 

JANUARY 7- National Tempura Day



 

Why This Day 

 It honors the delicious Japanese dish known as tempura, celebrating its crispy texture and delicate flavor that has become loved by food enthusiasts worldwide. The day highlights the art of perfect frying and appreciation for cultural cuisine.


History Behind the Day

 National Tempura Day was created to recognize tempura’s rich history, which dates back to the 16th century when Portuguese missionaries introduced the technique of deep-frying food in batter to Japan. Over time, it became a beloved part of Japanese culinary tradition.


Did You Know?: Tempura was originally a dish prepared during fasting periods by Portuguese missionaries, and the word “tempura” comes from the Latin word tempora, meaning “times” or “season.”


How Can We Celebrate?

 Enjoy a plate of freshly made tempura at your favorite restaurant, or try preparing it at home with vegetables, shrimp, or fish. Share your creations on social media with NationalTempuraDay and explore the cultural origins of the dish.


 Food connects cultures and people, and tempura is a perfect example of how tradition and flavor blend beautifully to bring joy to every meal.
