«Maple leaf tempura has a history dating back over 1300 years. The mountain in Minoo city was a known Shugendo area, a syncretic mountain religion in Japan. Shugendo practitioners were especially moved by the sight of beautiful maple leaves by the waterfall, and were inspired to create maple leaf tempura to serve to visitors to the area. This delicacy quickly became popular and ultimately grew to be one of the popular snacks and famous souvenirs of the region.»
