Taiwan under Japanese rule
In Taiwan, tempura as described in the preceding is known as "tiānfùluó" () and can commonly be found on the menu in Japanese restaurants all over the island. A similar-sounding dish, "tianbula" () is usually sold at night markets. Tianbula is actually Japanese satsuma-age and was introduced to Taiwan under Japanese rule by people from Kyushu, where satsuma-age is commonly known as "tempura".
