For the life of tempura, not only the clothes covered with ingredients but also the flower-blowing clothes must be finished. In addition, the flower-blowing garment looks good because it is formed all around the ingredients.

However, in the above conventional manufacturing method,
The flower garment adheres to the upper surface and both side surfaces of the ingredient placed on a flat table, but not to the lower surface. In addition, the flower-blowing garment is formed by blooming the water of the clothing liquid by the high temperature oil when it adheres to the ingredients. This requires the oil to circulate around the oil temperature and the ingredients, but the conventional method has not solved this problem.

An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems and provide a method and apparatus for producing ideal tempura.
