A newly opened Chinese restaurant in Ginza in September last year. Located on the 6th and 7th floors of the Umebayashi Building, known for its famous katsu-don, "Umebayashi". The surprising thing is that when the elevator door opens on the 6th floor, you are immediately in the restaurant, so it's best to be prepared and not let your guard down in the elevator. A few days ago, I ordered a prefixed lunch course on a reservation website (one serving including tax for 3800 yen). ...I found out when I came to the restaurant, but I was happy to find out that if you order a course, Pu'er tea is included as a service, so I felt like I got a little benefit. The service staff was also friendly, and when I was waiting for my companion to arrive at the table, they timely brought a pot of Pu'er tea and poured it for me. The tea is all-you-can-drink. The course includes ① "Assorted 2 appetizers" ... Steamed chicken and pork belly chashu. The steamed chicken is incredibly tender and delicious when combined with the green onion salt sauce. The pork belly chashu is sweet but delicious. I think all the meat dishes, including these two, are hits. I came at night and suddenly wanted to try the "Peking Duck". It seems that the head chef, deputy head chef, appetizer chef, and dim sum chef have all been recruited from Hong Kong, so it's natural that the level of cooking is high. Next, ② "Wonton Soup" ... with Chinese greens and dried shrimp added for a touch of color. The soup has an elegant taste, and the filling of the wonton is meat, with a firm texture. ③ "Dim Sum Trio" consists of shark fin and coriander dumplings, siu mai topped with tobiko, and shrimp and yuba spring rolls. Each has a variety of flavors and is enjoyable and delicious. The crispy shrimp and yuba spring rolls have an incredibly delicious plumpness. It is best to enjoy them with oyster sauce instead of soy sauce. ④ "Shrimp in Chili Sauce" ... not spicy, but an elegant and high-quality shrimp chili dish. ⑤ "Stir-fried Chinese Vegetables" ... a dish of Chinese vegetables called "A vegetables" stir-fried. It is said that this name was given because when the stem is sliced into rings, it looks like the letter "A". ⑥ "Five-Ingredient Fried Rice" ... this also includes shrimp, chashu, and green onions as ingredients. There are a lot of shrimp in this course. I love crustaceans, so I'm okay with it, but I wonder how it is for ordinary people? ⑦ For dessert, there is "Mango Pudding" ... not a rich mango type, but with a subtle sweetness and an elegant flavor. This was a hit, so I would choose it again if I could next time. I'm also curious about the egg tart listed on the menu. ...This time, the lunch was during the period of preventing the spread of the virus, so the overall customer turnout was low, but I think the quality of the food is gentle and well-prepared. Among them, I saw a glimpse of the deliciousness of Hong Kong's soul food "roasted meat", so I want to come for dinner next time and focus on dishes like suckling pig, duck, roast duck, Peking duck, etc.
