‘Tofuya Ukai’ is a typical Tofu Cuisine, located adjacent to Tokyo Tower popular for bridal events, meet and greets.
I thought I will introduce the lunch cuisine which to us Japanese represent as a typical WASHOKU. It is a called a Kaiseki style (course menu), each dish bringing the breeze of summer and the use of seasonal ingredients.
The architecture of Ukai-Tei (the building) can be seen at this site.
The entrance hallway was decorated with an ice block and maple, ikebana style.
A soothing goldfish patterned pottery, a cooling moment on a very hot summer day.
