A restaurant you can trust in Ginza

I visited this restaurant with my husband, after a long time without having children during our date.

This is the Ginza branch of the Michelin Guide, which has been featured in the publication for 8 consecutive years.
This restaurant was awarded the "100 Best Restaurants 2023" title by Yoteb Log.

This time, what we received was the "Tempeh and Sushi [Lan] Banquet".
Just as the menu name suggests, you can enjoy both sushi and tempura in one go!!
By the way, we can serve lunch here as well.

First, let's order drinks…
Looking at the menu, there are a wide variety of tea options!
The place of birth of the tea is also detailedly mentioned. I felt that the careful selection of oolong tea, green tea, and their respective brands truly reflects the owner's dedication to quality.

The first items served were
・ズワイカニとつるむらさき
Salad containing sesame beans

Cold summer vegetables, fruits, tomatoes, and kales—these ingredients have truly nourished my body as I walked through Tokyo, where the weather was like a sauna!
Both of us thought it was delicious.

Next, let's talk about small bowls.
・イクラ、ムキ白海老の小丼

I thought it was a interesting combination. Oysters and yukara, shrimps... I really like them, so it's great to be able to eat them together!
金箔も散りばめられて、とても美しい…！

Here's the translation of the provided Japanese text into English: "Unfortunately, I forgot to mention that my companion has an allergy to raw shrimp. As a last resort, we were served more tofu instead of shrimp. Thank you very much."

After that, go ahead!
The friendly head chef kept talking to me, which helped to ease my nervousness.

・チューモ
The soy sauce used for nigiri, and the shari, utilize red vinegar.
The shari is small in size, and the tempura is long, making it easy to eat and satisfying.

・Chiba Prefecture Shima Aji
No Japanese characters should be included in the descriptive text; only unavoidable proper nouns need to be translated or romanized. Translate only this segment and keep the wording natural.
The ingredients above have been finely ground with green onions and pickled vegetables

・北海道産ホッキ貝
It’s slightly boiled, giving it a chewy texture, yet it remains soft and easy to eat!

・Kyushu Iasuki
This is also completely different from the yellowtail that is sold in supermarkets, which was truly a pleasant surprise.

After that, fried foods
It seems to have the same taste as the head restaurant that was featured in the Michelin guide for 8 years.
I was extremely excited.

・Ebi no Tenpura
Exquisite! Moist and the shell or membrane is thin.
Less powdery texture, allowing for a more intense enjoyment of the flavors.

・アスパラ
Big! Soft.

・真鯛
delicious

・ホタテ
Inside, it felt almost raw. It was extremely delicious.
Perhaps it’s even more enjoyable than eating it raw and alive!

・Wakayama's Swordfish
This also tastes delicious and warmly satisfying...
There was also raw meat, so it was absolutely perfect.
I would prefer it to be fried as is.

・Produced in Chiba Prefecture
Crunchy! It was quite large in size.

・Tsukishima Tea Bowl Stew from Okiku, Ibaraki Prefecture
～生湯葉餡かけ～
Eggs produced in Ibaraki Prefecture
A gentle taste. The ankake is neither too persistent nor too bland—just right.

・Red Opening
Nameko is delicious! It has a truly soothing taste.

And to include fried chicken strips in sushi… what a luxurious thing!
Let's return to the sushi again.

・Red-fleshed pickled vegetables
This is a portion of restaurant reviews. Translate only this part and keep the wording natural. Source text: Appetizer: Monkfish. The amount of soy sauce is just right; it's delicious!

They also served something that was roasted with ginger and soy sauce.
This also had a flavor that wasn’t too strong, making it truly delicious.

・真鯛
・Mie Prefecture’s Sume
・クエ
Dried plums, alcohol, and… a cooking style that doesn’t use soy sauce. Quite stylish.

・Iron-fried dishes
The tuna has a solid taste, and it's delicious!
The style of rolling by oneself is also enjoyable.


The homemade garlic was also extremely delicious.
I really don’t like garlic, but I ordered more food here than usual.

Finally, a beautiful dessert that can be enjoyed with the eyes too.
It was a yogurt and mango shotet.
This also was sweet, refreshing, and delicious. (๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵)

Finally, being able to enjoy matcha as well is a pleasant surprise.
When I want to invite overseas friends or in situations involving hospitality
It will definitely be a topic of conversation...!

It seems that it is difficult to have a chef who can prepare both sushi and tempura. Such restaurants are quite rare.

In Ginza, I had sushi for the first time in a long time. It was truly special, and it made me feel very happy ☺️
In addition to us, there was also a couple who visited. They had a counter seat available, and the atmosphere was very pleasant. Therefore, I thought it would be perfect for a date.

Please definitely give it a try!
I would like more people to know about this restaurant.
