What travelers say:
Tempura's history is quite long. てんぷら originated from the Portuguese rápido, which means "quick", when it was to obtain food to satisfy hunger at a faster speed, so using this fried method, the Portuguese people eat during the Lent (Catholic holiday, refers to Easter six and a half weeks ago), and the Lent period is forbidden to eat meat. The Portuguese eat fish instead of meat. The Latin word "ad tempora quadragesimae" means "keep the fast".
