"TEMPTY has a nice base profile of texture and flavour, but where it shines is being really malleable to suit whatever direction you want your cooking to take."

"We try to feature local produce where it makes sense, and a big part of that is our use of Danish seaweed, which is of a superb quality and just perfect for our Japanese kitchen."
