During the Christmas season, we traveled to Tokyo and had the pleasure of dining at a very classy restaurant, Ginza Ukai Tei. I cannot say enough about the presentation and immaculate decor.
The menu had several tasty options to choose from including albacore and beef entrees.
They decorated with pots of poinsettias along the walkway entrance.
And a white, metallic Christmas tree with a star.
With several beautiful crystals, which dangled from the bottom.
As we entered Ukai Tei, they had a tall Christmas tree decorated with dozens of red roses. There was also a large painting of a lady dressed in red.
The restaurant features an array of Japanese and Western antique furniture with an art-nouveau influence similar to that of a museum.
On the back wall was a Thai carving mounted up, and a large vase full of roses.
Beside that was an assortment of Japanese cookies available for purchase. They were displayed inside of a glass counter.
Here is a closeup of the tree of roses. Absolutely stunning! And a sideboard server with a mirror. It was dressed up with several glass figurines on a tray.
They also had red calla lilies in this artistic vase.
And a small Santa Claus figurine to keep with the Christmas decor.
And I cannot forget to mention this life-size music box.
It was playing instrumentals of White Christmas, such a pretty melody.
The staff was also very friendly and happy to help us.
They sat us down in the lobby to wait for a table to open. They had the option to reserve a table, but we didn't call ahead because we sort of just found this place on a whim.
Nonetheless, they were still able to get us seated in no time. Stay tuned to see the spectacular meal prepared for us, and the private rooms where dedicated chefs cook in front of you.
