I had some business in Ginza on this day, and it was lunchtime, so I decided to have lunch here. When you think of Chikushisei, you think of shark fin! For lunch, the mini course or the "Shark Fin Stew Soup Soba (2800 yen)" is a must-try. However, I try to avoid eating shark fin as much as possible because I once saw a video of shark fin fishing where only the fins were taken and the sharks without fins were released back into the sea, looking weak and pitiful as they swam away... So on this day, I chose the Lunch Set C with Black Vinegar Sweet and Sour Pork (1800 yen) instead! The restaurant has a luxurious and wonderful atmosphere. It was still quite early, so I was seated in a semi-private room at the back of the restaurant, which was very calming. The soup and pickled vegetables that came with the set were served, along with a pot of Chinese tea, which was almost unlimited, making it fantastic. And here it is, the Black Vinegar Sweet and Sour Pork! It's huge! Each piece of pork is incredibly large! I was thrilled! The onions and green peppers were also cut into big chunks, making it easy to enjoy each bite. Instead of pineapple, there were deep-fried sweet potatoes, which was also good! The rice portion was small, which was nice. I focused on enjoying the sweet and sour pork to the fullest! The sweet and sour pork was delicious and had a great texture! And don't forget about the deep-fried bread. There's curry inside! Of course, I dipped it in the remaining sauce from the sweet and sour pork. The almond jelly dessert was also authentic, with a mild sweetness and delicious taste. The high-class restaurant's service was excellent, and the authentic sweet and sour pork had a rich taste. The pork steak was so big that it could be called a pork steak. Furthermore, the unlimited Chinese tea, dessert, the wonderful location in the heart of Ginza, and the fantastic atmosphere of the restaurant, all for 1800 yen, was quite a cost-effective deal! Of course, the value may vary depending on what you order, but at least the lunch set menu seemed to be a great deal! It was delicious! Thank you for the meal!
