===Serving and presentation===

[[File:Tempura and tentsuyu by cathykid in Taipei.jpg|thumb|[[Tentsuyu]] is the most common sauce consumed with tempura.]]

Cooked pieces of tempura are either eaten with dipping sauce, salted without sauce, or used to assemble other dishes. Tempura is commonly served with grated [[daikon]] and eaten hot immediately after frying. In Japan, it is often found in bowls of soba or udon soup in the form of shrimp, shiso leaf, or fritter.  The most common sauce is [[tentsuyu]] sauce (roughly three parts ''[[dashi]]'', one part ''[[mirin]]'', and one part [[soy sauce|''shōyu'']]). Alternatively, skim tempura may be sprinkled with [[sea salt]] before eating. Mixtures of [[Matcha|powdered green tea]] and salt or ''[[yuzu]]'' and salt are also used.<ref name="Japanese Soul Cooking">{{cite book |last1=Ono |first1=Tadashi |last2=Salat |first2=Harris |title=Japanese Soul Cooking: Ramen, Tonkatsu, Tempura, and More from the Streets and Kitchens of Tokyo and Beyond |date=2013 |publisher=Potter/Ten Speed/Harmony/Rodale |isbn=9781607743538 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=mF4me5AKc-wC&q=tonkatsu&pg=PT306 |access-date=21 July 2020}}</ref>
