BLR Restaurants Pvt Ltd, the team behind popular names like BLR Brewing Co. and Bean Lore, has unveiled their latest venture — Hachi by Tenya, a 40-seater Japanese eatery nestled in Whitefield, Bengaluru. Developed in collaboration with the renowned Tenya from Tokyo, Hachi introduces the timeless art of tempura and other soulful Japanese dishes in an intimate and authentic setting.
A name that means “bowl” in Japanese, Hachi isn’t just another addition to the city’s food scene — it’s a heartfelt culinary exchange built on precision, tradition, and the spirit of omotenashi, Japan’s deep-rooted philosophy of wholehearted hospitality.
With Bangalore’s growing appetite for global cuisines, particularly Japanese, Hachi stands out with its chef-led, experience-first approach. At its core is a 12-seat chef’s counter that surrounds an open kitchen — inviting diners to interact with the chefs, watch every tempura crisp to perfection, and experience Japanese craftsmanship up close.
“We’ve long admired the simplicity and soulfulness of Japanese cuisine,” said Prasanna Kumar, Co-founder of BLR Restaurants. “With Hachi, we wanted to bring that spirit to life in a space that’s intimate, authentic, and deeply interactive.”
Leading the kitchen is Chef Takahashi, a Tenya veteran of over 20 years, alongside Chef Nagai, whose training across Kyoto and Tokyo brings depth and elegance to every plate. Together, they aim to not only serve food, but also share the emotional essence of Japan.
“Our goal with Hachi is to share not just Japanese food, but Japanese heart,” said Chef Takahashi. “We’ve brought traditional techniques, heritage ingredients, and a deep love for the craft — from our kitchen to yours.”
The menu reflects the precision and grace of traditional Japanese cuisine:
Tempura: Light, crisp, and ethereal — flash-fried at high temperatures for perfect drainage.
Ramen: Silken broths elevated with homemade chicken oil and scallion oil for deep umami.
Sushi Rolls: Made with in-house vinegar infused with dashi, rolled with precision and care.
Sake & Japanese Cocktails: Curated to pair seamlessly with the umami-rich food.
Small Plates: Agedashi Tofu, Chicken Karaage, and Dashimakitamago served with artisanal finesse.
Located just behind HDFC Bank in Doddanakundi Industrial Area, Hachi by Tenya sits next to Hamilton — BLR Restaurants’ new cocktail destination — making it a perfect stop for an immersive night of global flavours right in the heart of Bengaluru.
With Hachi, BLR Restaurants continues to push the envelope in India’s evolving culinary scene, fusing global excellence with local curiosity and heartfelt storytelling.
