Steak restaurant in Omotesando. Located within a 5-minute walk from Omotesando Station. One of the top 100 steak restaurants in 2022. Visited by making a reservation at 7:00 p.m. on Saturday. Used for celebrating a companion's birthday. Many overseas visitors around. The restaurant is on the 5th floor of a building, not a very high floor, but you can enjoy a view of Omotesando. Today, I had the Omotesando Special (29,700 yen). The course menu is as follows. First, I was shown the ingredients for today. Abalone, hairy crab, fresh vegetables, A5 Wagyu beef, and more luxurious ingredients lined up. Exciting! ✔︎ Hairy Crab and Caviar The first dish was luxurious ingredients, hairy crab and caviar. Served with seasonal vegetables. Enjoyed the hairy crab with lemon and cocktail sauce. The caviar had gold flakes on top and plenty of crab meat below. ✔︎ Cutlassfish and Eggplant Next was grilled cutlassfish. It was fatty and had a taste similar to eel. The cutlassfish was about 1 meter long and as thick as 5 fingers. The eggplant was Kuze eggplant from Kyoto. ✔︎ Seasonal Soup A seasonal cold soup made from fava beans. It was so rich it could be called a food soup. ✔︎ Abalone Abalone cooked in salt kettle. Covered with seaweed during cooking, mixed with liver sauce, and served with butter sauce with clams and clams, and nori. The sauce was rich and excellent. ✔︎ Palate Cleanser Before the main dish, we had Horita tomato. The clear liquid was not ice water but tomato juice and tomato juice sherbet. ✔︎ Main Dish The main dish was A5 black Wagyu sirloin. Served with wasabi, black pepper, onion, white six pieces (garlic) chips. ✔︎ Meal The meal was finished with garlic rice. The garlic rice was simple but delicious. Served with red miso soup and pickles. ✔︎ Dessert For dessert, we moved to a separate dessert room to immerse ourselves in the aftertaste, which is a consistent service at Teppanyaki Ukai-tei. We could choose from several desserts, but we chose melon chiffon cake to finish. We requested an anniversary message, but instead of a message plate, they showed us the message on an electronic device with a music box and prepared a rose. It was nice to have the flower, but the feeling of being shown the message on a device felt a bit cheap. Also, I felt a bit uncomfortable with being asked for feedback a lot in the dessert room. Overall, there were some minor points of concern in the latter half, but the quality of ingredients, cooking, lively atmosphere, and hospitality were consistent, making it a reliable restaurant. Ukai-tei is a place you can use with confidence during events. It was my first visit to the Omotesando branch, and it was also good. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal!
