Restaurant in Tokyo
Beginning with soba tea and a light appetizer of fresh cabbage and miso, the natural wood paneled second story private corner room over looking the street created the ambience of a secluded tree house…perfect for a private date;)!! Favorite tempura dishes included salmon w/ Ikura, and shyouga. Other fine choices included beef, and iwashi., ebi, Hotate,and shiitake mushrooms. The panko was very light and the freshness of the ingredients always came through. Concluding the fine meal was crab infused rice, w/ Ikura, and a light dessert of ice cream. Overall a fine gourmet experience of Japanese cuisine with exceptional ingredients and friendly, informative staff. Highly recommended.

The menu at Ginza Ugai features a diverse array of dishes, ranging from classic comfort foods to inventive culinary creations.
