Tuesday night, I joined several colleagues for a formal dinner at Tofuya Ukai, a great restaurant located near Tokyo Tower. The picture above is the entrance and the one below is just inside the restaurant.
This was the kind of dinner where you are seated on opposite sides of a long rectangular table. The seating arrangement is quite important. The most senior (important) people are seated across from each other at the center point. And, there is always some quiet discussion about where to seat everyone else.
The food was exquisite. Each of the eight courses was created with both taste and visual interest in mind.
Eight courses and three hours later, I was definitely ready for a good night's sleep. Here is the menu and a couple of pictures:
- Boiled tender abalone & eggplant
- Deep fried Tofu with sweet miso sauce & egg custard
- Assorted sashimi
- Boiled crown daisy dressed with walnut sauce, Fried chestnuts,
- Bean soup with Tofu
- Shiba braised pork belly
- Rice cooked with mushroom
- Wine-simmered pear
