台灣日治時期
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".
