tempura batter

A ceramic bowl filled with luscious golden butternut soup is the star of this composition. Sitting on the rich creamy soup are scattered, garnet-red sesame seeds and fresh green chives. Beside it, positioned asymmetrically, are number of asparagus tempura styled artistically, wrapped in dark green nori giving a pop of color to the arrangement; their golden tempura covering contrasts beautifully against their green heads peeking out. The bowl sits on a dark wooden surface, with scattered red chili and a spoon resting atop dark linen. The composition is sprinkled with extra sesame seeds for added charm.

A beautiful, deep golden-brown piece of halibut tempura sits invitingly atop a cozy mound of light green spring onion rice. Colorful Japanese pickles - shades of red and yellow - lay on the side, contrasted against the pristine white ceramic plate. The combination is visually striking against the backdrop of a dark linen tablecloth.
