My friends wanted to eat Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisine, so we decided to revisit this restaurant. However, the quality of the dishes varied greatly, and overall, the prices were high, so it didn't meet our expectations. The "Thinly sliced Macon mushrooms and pork stir-fry" had more pork than vegetables due to the expensive Macon mushrooms. The "Marinated fresh soup" was a classic soup made by simmering bamboo shoots, pork with bones, Jinhua ham, and tofu knots for a long time. However, the overall taste was too bland, and the flavor of the meat wasn't fully brought out, possibly due to the Jinhua ham used. The "Pan-fried soup dumplings" were juicy and delicious. The "Sweet and sour spare ribs" was like an appetizer, cooked tenderly with sugar and soy sauce, achieving an authentic Shanghai-style taste, although some may find it too sweet.

When friends from the same hometown gather, they usually visit a Shanghai cuisine restaurant. "Salted Duck, Nanjing Style" is a specialty dish from Nanjing. The salted duck meat is tender and cool, perfect as an appetizer with low fat content for the current season. "Lotus Root Cake with Osmanthus Sugar" is a cold dish made with lotus root, glutinous rice, and osmanthus sugar, a classic dish in Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisine. It is not too sweet and has a fragrant aroma. "Stir-Fried Pork with Sliced Bamboo Shoots" was delicious but slightly under-seasoned. "Spicy Stir-Fried Pig Intestines" is not as spicy as Sichuan cuisine, fitting the mild spice level of Shanghai cuisine and balancing the greasiness of the pig intestines. "Steamed Pork with Preserved Mustard Greens" had an unclear reason for the thickened sauce, and the pork belly's richness was not fully utilized. "Scallion Oil Noodles" is a Shanghai classic with toppings like small shrimp and scallions, but the quality of the noodles could be improved. "Steamed Grouper Fish" was recommended by the staff, featuring grouper, a fish commonly seen in Chinese cuisine but new to the reviewer. Despite suspicions of excessive green onion, the firm and delicious flesh made the dish enjoyable.

Chinese cuisine in Japan has been freely flowing since before China's development, mainly consisting of Cantonese (Hong Kong) cuisine, Sichuan cuisine which became popular thanks to Chen Jianyi, and cuisine from the Tohoku region which Japan once occupied. Other types of Chinese cuisine are not well known in Japan. Japanese people tend to seek out dishes like mapo tofu, tantanmen, Japanese-style shrimp chili, and Tientsin rice, which leads restaurants to cater to these preferences, causing the regional characteristics to fade. This particular restaurant is run by a young chef from modern-day Shanghai, and so far has managed to retain some of the local flavor. For example, the lion's head dish is a special order but is lightly seasoned in the style of Shanghai cuisine. The braised spare ribs are sweet, typical of Shanghai cuisine. The presentation of flowers with the dishes also gives a modern local touch. While the value for money may not be the best, in the absence of being able to visit Shanghai, this restaurant is a valuable find.

So, after finishing work with trips from Toranomon to Ikebukuro and back to Toranomon, I took the Tokyo Metro Ginza Line to Ueno-Hirokoji.

Actually, the restaurant I was aiming for was full, so I was wandering around wondering what to do when I happened to find this restaurant. What caught my attention was the name of the restaurant, "Teishouki" and the description of "Huaiyang cuisine". For those who are familiar with Chinese cuisine, they may say, "Shanghai cuisine is part of Huaiyang cuisine, not the other way around," but well, in Japan, most people don't really distinguish between different types of Chinese cuisine, so please forgive us for that. Huaiyang cuisine is one of the cuisines in Jiangsu, which is considered one of the four major Chinese cuisines along with Shandong cuisine, Sichuan cuisine, and Cantonese cuisine. However, this year, we have not been able to visit Nanjing, Hangzhou, Hefei, and Ningbo, so maybe this restaurant can make up for that? It was a gamble, but it turned out okay. I heard that the chef is from Huai'an. Everything we ordered was delicious, but the scallion oil noodles we had at the end were exquisite, with just the right amount of scallions toasted. Both my companion and I loved it. The staff at the restaurant, both male and female, were natural and pleasant. The menu didn't have dishes like crystal appetizers or lion's head meatballs that are typical of Huaiyang cuisine, like at the Yinyi Restaurant in Taipei, but there were various dishes that we were not familiar with and enjoyed. It's amazing how the Chinese restaurants in the Ueno area have become so good. Until recently, I thought that Paris had more niche Chinese restaurants, but Tokyo and Osaka also have a good selection, don't they? Speaking of Huaiyang cuisine restaurants, I also remember the "Yangzhou Famous Dishes Qinhuai Chun" at the Mikasa Kaikan in Ginza, but I would be happy if there were more Huaiyang cuisine restaurants. The world is going through a tough time with the COVID-19 pandemic, but I hope it ends soon so we can enjoy dining out without worries.

I went with a friend! It seems like the place has recently been renovated. According to my friend, the restaurant is now much cleaner. And the food has become quite delicious! One of the features here is that during lunchtime, salad is all-you-can-eat and drinks are free! And the price is around 800 yen! It's a restaurant that is friendly to salarymen! Today, I had the Hot and Sour Noodles for 800 yen, and it was quite tasty! Considering the portion size, I am satisfied. It's a nice place to come back to!

I received a lot. The vegetables at the salad bar were simple but the dressing was very delicious. I think the detox water at the drink bar would be popular with women. The food was authentic and delicious. I couldn't resist ordering the 1,800 yen course because of the panda motif, but the custard peach bun and the porridge were so satisfying! The porridge was full of ingredients and delicious, even though I usually don't like porridge, I couldn't resist snacking on it! Even though it had preserved egg, which I thought I wouldn't like, it was delicious.

I had lunch at this restaurant located on the 8th floor of a new building on Asakusa Hirokoji. The interior of the restaurant is narrow in width (but spacious in depth). If you are seated by the window facing the street, the large glass window can be a bit nerve-wracking. It might be tough for those who are afraid of heights (lol). I had the mapo noodles set (half-fried rice, side dish, almond jelly, coffee included) for 800 yen, which was quite cheap and a good deal! I visited during peak lunch hours. There were 2 kitchen staff and 1 server, and they seemed to be quite busy. It would be more relaxing to dine if there was one more staff member, but I understand that the restaurant must have its reasons. Thank you for the meal!

On a pleasantly sunny day in Ueno Hirokoji, I was planning to have spaghetti for lunch when I spotted a Chinese restaurant sign at the corner of a building. I took the elevator, which was under renovation, to the 8th floor and found myself in the restaurant. The atmosphere was bright, clean, and the music playing was Japanese pop songs. The floor was surrounded by glass on three sides, which made me a little uneasy due to the height. The menu offered a Ramen Set with Mapo Mian for 800 yen, which was served on a wooden tray with fried rice, pickles, and almond jelly. The portion sizes seemed a bit small, but the fried rice was flavorful and the Mapo Mian had a typical taste. After finishing the meal, I didn't feel overly full, but the overall dining experience was elegant. As I left the restaurant, I noticed a bowl of salt near the elevator, which made me wonder if it was a Chinese cultural tradition. Overall, the meal was satisfying, and as I walked towards Ameyoko, I heard a bag shop owner announcing the closing sale of their shop, which reminded me to cherish every moment.

I chose a dish that was easy to eat and not too spicy.

I am happy to be able to taste the authentic flavors.
