This is a standard tempura dish in our home that I have been making for a long time.

When coating with the flour, if you put them in a plastic bag, it's easier and leaves the kitchen cleaner.
When using small pond smelt, the sound of the frying oil will change quickly and become quiet, so pay attention to that. Recipe by Yuuyuu0221
