I visited a plum blossom restaurant that I have been fond of for years. My daughter was also very satisfied. She loves tofu and being able to eat yuba right in front of her was truly a blissful moment. I think this restaurant offers great value for money with its atmosphere and attention to detail. The staff are well-trained and provide excellent service. It would be a perfect place to welcome guests from overseas. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

Sometimes I feel like I want to eat Japanese cuisine in a private room or a calm atmosphere. I used to go to this place often for business entertainment, and this time I wanted to eat there again after a long time, so I went to the Ginza Namikidori branch! I will eat plenty of healthy tofu dishes! The restaurant is spacious, with private rooms and semi-private rooms available. It's convenient for business entertainment or celebrations in Ginza. I was guided to a room (this time it was a private room!) and enjoyed the serene Japanese atmosphere. We had a course meal (I forgot the name of the course...) and tried the restaurant's specialties such as tofu shumai, miso-marinated tofu, and deep-fried yuba. Personally, I love the miso-marinated tofu and deep-fried yuba, they are so delicious that I wanted seconds! Another recommendation is the "yuba hot pot," where you scoop the yuba yourself and dip it in the broth. It's fun to make it yourself and it's really tasty! I want to go there again! Thank you for the meal!

I visited the Ginza Namiki-dori store for a meeting for the first time. Since the person I was meeting with was elderly, I ordered a small amount of food and enjoyed it. The restaurant was fully booked with reservations. The seating was relaxed, allowing for a pleasant meal and conversation. Personally, I thought the chawanmushi (savory egg custard) was the best.

A friend requested to meet at a place where they can have a leisurely meal, so I made a reservation at Ume no Hana in Tokyo, which I used to visit when I lived in Osaka. During Golden Week, the course menu costs over 4800 yen. We decided to choose our dishes after arriving. We had trouble finding the entrance using Google Maps and ended up going up a back staircase meant for employees, leading us to a private room. My friend was very happy with the cozy atmosphere where we could chat freely, and all the dishes were delicious tofu-based creations. The healthy dishes were surprisingly tasty. Each room is served by a waiter, giving a relaxed feel like staying at a traditional inn. The service was attentive, but the staff seemed a bit rushed and tired, probably due to being busy. The only minor issue was finding red wine residue in our white wine glasses.

I was taken to lunch in Ginza by a senior colleague. We went to a restaurant in a genre I don't usually visit, and I was impressed by the variety of dishes and the artistic presentation of each plate, which aimed to entertain the customers. "Learn from the best," my senior colleague said. It was a valuable time that could contribute to my future work.

It's been a while since my last visit. I tried to make a reservation the day before, but was told that the private rooms were fully booked. It seems like March is busy even on weekdays due to celebrations and such. Although I couldn't get a private room, the box seats were spacious and comfortable, so I went ahead and made a reservation. I used to love the nama-fu dengaku the most, but this time, my favorite was the Mineoka tofu. It was so milky and creamy, with a subtle sweetness like a dessert. When I was younger, I didn't find tofu dishes like this appealing, but now I'm completely satisfied with the various tofu dishes that change in cooking methods and seasonings. My young daughter who accompanied me kept saying how delicious everything was, and we were all completely full and satisfied. The peach vinegar drink I ordered as an aperitif had a subtle acidity that was delicious. The only disappointing thing was that the final rice dish took an unusually long time to arrive, and there was no explanation. According to my daughter's theory, they probably forgot to turn on the rice cooker (laughs)... we'll never know the truth, but the cherry shrimp mixed rice was a fitting end to the meal with its spring-like ingredients and gentle flavors.

In early March, I visited the restaurant after work. I made a reservation at this restaurant through a work acquaintance. He's a pain, but I went along with it (laughs). The reserved course was as follows: "Ume no Hana - Pork and Tofu Milk Shabu-Shabu" for 6,800 yen. The dishes included: Meio Tofu, Yuba simmered dish, Ohitashi, Chawanmushi, Sashimi, Crab shumai, Oshinogi, Yuba with toppings, Namafu dengaku, Fried yuba, Saikyo grilled silver cod, Yuba clear soup, Cherry shrimp rice dish, Pickles, Kinako ice cream. For drinks, we had 2 glasses of draft beer, 2 glasses of barley shochu, and 2 glasses of oolong tea. The food was delicious as usual. The total bill for two people was 17,240 yen. Please don't invite me again (laughs), I don't think I'll visit this restaurant again.

The most affordable option was the "Ume Lunch," but we wanted a private room so we opted for the 2,800 yen "Sai Lunch." It was a tofu-based course meal, and it came with warm hojicha tea. Even though it was a budget-friendly course, we were able to eat until we were full. I was particularly impressed by the soft texture of the tofu in the small dishes, the fluffy texture of the nama-fu, and the crispy and fluffy texture of the yuba tempura. Each dish featured tofu, yuba, or nama-fu, and I realized that tofu dishes can be enjoyed in various forms. It's nice that you can eat a lot without feeling heavy on the body. The atmosphere of the restaurant was also great, so I would like to visit again.

Located on the fifth floor of the Ginza Namiki Street Building in Ginza 2-chome, this restaurant specializes in yuba and tofu dishes. The only tenants on the fifth floor during my visit were Umenohana and Le chic unjour on the sixth floor. The lower floors from the basement to the fourth floor and the seventh floor and above were vacant. Umenohana offers a variety of dining options, including traditional Kyushu cuisine at their restaurant "Umenohana" and takeout services. The Ginza Namiki Street branch of Umenohana features a "Kiradoji" (automaton) by doll artist Yuriko Yumedo at the front desk, which occasionally moves. I visited with a friend and tried the seasonal Matsutake Mushroom Feast course (available from September to November) for 7,800 yen, which included various dishes such as sashimi with hand-pulled yuba, matsutake mushroom steamed in a pot, and matsutake mushroom teppanyaki. Despite the high expectations for the Matsutake Mushroom Feast course, the portion sizes were disappointing. The staff seemed understaffed for such a large establishment, as the dishes were served slowly, exceeding the initially stated 2-hour dining time. Overall, the experience was underwhelming.

Friday started with receiving a lot of angry calls from customers in the morning, which left her with no appetite for a late lunch. She ended up eating convenience store-bought somen noodles, onigiri, and green juice, even though she wasn't really in the mood to eat. Despite losing her appetite, she managed to finish the onigiri. She praised herself for not indulging in excessive sweets like before, although she still struggled to resist the temptation. She talked about her parents' love for plum blossoms and their frequent visits to a restaurant called Ume no Hana. She also mentioned her recent dining experience at Ume no Hana, where she enjoyed dishes like tofu shumai, Meoka tofu, nama-fu dengaku, and yuba tempura. She expressed her desire for more fish dishes and tofu-based options on the menu. She appreciated being seated in a private room at the restaurant and later went to Tomato Cafe Junior for gelato with coffee jelly and iced coffee. Despite trying to resist sweets, she couldn't help indulging in them. She shared her daily walking routine, which started in February 2020 and has become a daily habit for her, covering around seven kilometers each day. She emphasized the importance of walking for her daily routine.

Today, it was cloudy all day and humid, making me crave tofu. I couldn't find anything I really wanted to eat in Tokyo Station, so I headed towards Ume no Hana in Ginza. I hurried to order as lunch time was ending in an hour. I ordered the "Gokumi Course" with yudofu and pork soy milk hot pot, and a summer salad. It was delicious as always and easy to enjoy – definitely my favorite!

I recently got hooked on yuba and nama-fu. I was really craving tofu dishes, so I looked up and found out that there is a Ume no Hana restaurant in Ginza. I decided to head there! However, I still don't know my way around Ginza very well, and ended up walking in the opposite direction of the restaurant. So, I took a taxi to get there. When I entered using the elevator, I was greeted by a serene atmosphere and the sound of a koto, which was very calming and I loved the ambiance of the restaurant. Since I made a last-minute reservation, they kindly asked if it was okay to seat us in the main hall, and we agreed. It was a weekday, so we were the only ones there, almost like a private dining experience, and the place had a very charming vibe that made me feel enchanted. This time, we ordered the Ume no Hana Supreme Course and a muscat black vinegar drink. The muscat drink had a nice balance of acidity and a hint of sweetness that was very addictive. The course started with appetizers, followed by dishes using tofu and yuba. My personal favorite was the yuba sashimi! For the hot pot, we chose the black wagyu shabu-shabu. As expected from a tofu restaurant, we first enjoyed yudofu in a pot with kelp broth before the shabu-shabu. The yudofu melted gently in the mouth with its sweet flavor. It was so delicious! The shabu-shabu at Ume no Hana was fantastic, with large yet thinly sliced meat and easy-to-eat vegetables. It was perfect with condiments like chopped green onions and ground sesame seeds. In the middle of enjoying the shabu-shabu, they served yuba tempura and nama-fu dengaku, which were my absolute favorite. After the hot pot, we had the black wagyu lava grill, fish with saikyo miso marinade, seasonal rice, yuba soup, and for dessert, soy milk ice cream and red bean tofu. Every dish was of high quality and delicious! We also ordered a salad, and to our surprise, there was cold tofu hidden underneath the salad, giving us a taste of summer. I couldn't resist and had to order the yuba sashimi again. Yuba is just so delicious! I enjoyed the tofu dishes and the variety of courses without feeling overwhelmed. Not only the food, but the dishes and utensils were also beautiful and a feast for the eyes. I was amazed by the quality and service, which was even better than the Nishitamagawa branch I visited before! I definitely want to visit again soon!

I went to a restaurant at Hibiya Midtown before going to the movies. I had made a reservation for just a table from 11 o'clock. I arrived a little early, but was smoothly guided to my seat. I chose the colorful lunch set, which cost 2,800 yen. The salad, tofu, and yuba served at the beginning were delicious and exceeded my expectations. Everything was very tasty, and I will definitely come back again! The only downside was that the mixed rice was cold (or rather, it was cold). Other than that, everything was great. The staff who served us, as well as those at the register, were all very friendly, and I had a pleasant time. I can't wait to go back. Thank you for the delicious meal!

It was my first time visiting this tofu restaurant in a while, with a group of 4 people. The food was healthy and delicious, and I noticed they now serve alcohol after the lifting of the state of emergency. We ordered a course menu, and the dishes came out quickly. However, they didn't clear the plates even after we finished eating. It took a while for our drinks to arrive. I wanted to change my dessert to a chestnut parfait, but was concerned about the excessive amount of whipped cream. The tea was self-service and served in a thermos, but it was extremely hot. The steamed dish with matsutake mushrooms had a delicious broth, but the mushrooms themselves were lacking in flavor. Despite feeling full, the meal was satisfying. The staff kept the doors open for ventilation as a COVID-19 precaution, which made the noise from other rooms quite loud. Overall, thank you for the meal.

There is a big fan of yuba in my family, and dining at this restaurant in Ginza is a tradition for us. Unfortunately, alcohol is not allowed in Tokyo due to the current state of emergency. So, we decided to splurge on the 6,000 yen "Goku" lunch course today. Each dish was delicious and beautifully presented. The restaurant is already decorated for the moon-viewing season. The course included: - Three small appetizers - Chawanmushi (savory egg custard) - Sashimi - Crab shumai (dumplings) - Clear soup - Hot pot with yuba - Fried yuba - Fried wheat gluten in sweet miso sauce - Choice dish (grilled Wagyu beef on a hot stone) - Yuba soup - Rice dish - Pickles

It's my second visit in a year and a half. I visited Belvia-kan for a face-to-face meeting. It's located along Namiki Street, next to ABC Mart. The interior is Japanese-style, which seems appealing to foreigners. The small alley is nice. I was guided to a small room in the back tatami area. Perhaps it's for infection prevention measures. The door was open. The adults had reserved the Kumiage Yuba course. I ordered udon a la carte for the children. There were plenty of menu options suitable for toddlers. This is useful! We cheered with beer. The freshly made Yuba had a smooth and satisfying texture. It was delicious. The fried tofu in sweet miso sauce was chewy and well-cooked. I love this dish. For the main course, I chose the grilled wagyu beef on a ceramic plate. The grated sauce was delicious. For spring, we had bamboo shoot rice and Yuba soup. We finished with ice cream for dessert. The children ate so much that we were worried, but they were very satisfied. Thank you for the meal.

There is a restaurant located on the 5th floor, just a 2-3 minute walk from exit C8 of Ginza Station. This restaurant prides itself on its tofu and yuba dishes. The lunch menu ranges from 2200 yen + tax to special limited-time courses up to around 6000 yen, making it a versatile option. The entrance is decorated with Seto ware, Japanese tableware, and black bamboo, creating a calming atmosphere. We were able to be seated in a private room within 5 minutes without a reservation, as most of the restaurant consists of private rooms. As a COVID-19 precaution, the doors to each room were removed to allow for better air circulation. We opted for the seasonal "Haru Urara Course" which featured a variety of dishes including tofu, yuba, vegetables, and a choice of meat or fish for the main course. The meal started with a warm roasted green tea, which was delicious. The two side dishes were unique tofu and udo flowers, both gentle in flavor. The chawanmushi with asari clam sauce was rich and flavorful, and the tataki yuba sashimi with wasabi and pickled plum was a delightful combination of aromas and flavors. We also added the "Tofu Shumai" from the a la carte menu, which had a fluffy texture and a satisfying taste. The steamed black pork and vegetable dish that followed was incredibly tasty, with carefully selected ingredients. Despite feeling full by this point, we all thoroughly enjoyed the meal and were impressed throughout. I chose the cod marinated in miso for my main course, which was accompanied by delicious white rice. The meal also included sakura shrimp and mushroom rice, pickles, clear soup, and yuzu sherbet, all of which were expertly prepared and served in beautiful tableware, creating a wonderful dining experience. The attention to detail, including the cleanliness and amenities in the restroom, reflected the restaurant's hospitality and care for its customers. I have visited a couple of their branches in the past, but the Ginza location stood out the most in terms of ambiance. I would definitely consider returning to this restaurant whenever I crave delicious Japanese cuisine. They are a restaurant that I hope will continue to thrive despite the challenges of the pandemic. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

Night and day, takeout is also available, but it seems that I have only posted once on Tabelog. It is recommended for families with children! Umenohana Ginza Namikidori store. When I visited last time (how many months ago was it?), I was shocked to see that the pond was drained and the goldfish were gone... but this time, chairs were placed in the pond. Have they given up on the goldfish...? It's quite disappointing as my daughter has loved them since she was a child. This time, we visited after the ladies' beauty salon. Two adults and two children. It's nice that they have lunch courses even on weekends. The adults ordered the Ume lunch for 2,200 yen each, and the children ordered the Ayame lunch for 2,800 yen each. The Ume lunch included small dishes, chawanmushi, tofu salad, simmered dish (lotus root manju, which I love!), nama-fu, tanzaku yuba, yuba tempura, and yuba soup with a choice of seasonal rice (crab takikomi gohan in this case), eel seiro (small size, apparently), or Japanese-style doria. Pickles and dessert were also included. The photo above (maybe "yudofu"?) is from the children's menu. I'm happy that I can still enjoy the menu items that I have loved for a long time. I love tofu kaiseki meals. It's a pleasure to be able to enjoy delicious food little by little. The pace of serving the dishes seemed slightly slower than usual on this day, maybe because it was the weekend? If you are concerned about time, it is advisable to consult with the staff on the floor before ordering.

I visited Umeno Hana in Ginza Namiki Street, which is also in Nagoya. The atmosphere of the restaurant is very stylish and it feels like it could be a tenant in a building. It mainly serves Japanese cuisine centered around tofu. The sesame tofu, chawanmushi, signature tofu shumai, soy cheese fondue are all healthy yet delicious! It reminded me of the shojin ryori (Buddhist vegetarian cuisine) I had at a temple lodging in Koyasan, and the absence of meat was not a problem at all. It was really delicious! Thank you for the meal.

Today is Respect for the Aged Day on September 21, right? Oh, wait, there are no reviews here yet. I've been to this restaurant a few times. Maybe because of the new coronavirus, they have stopped the water in the river inside the restaurant, and there are goldfish now, so the atmosphere has changed a bit. Well, this time I enjoyed the course menu again (please check the course details in the image). The taste of the dishes is truly outstanding. Not too heavy, with a light flavor, and the main ingredient seems to be yuba, which is skillfully utilized. As for the drinks, the soy milk sweet sake is a personal recommendation. It's non-alcoholic. However, the service was a bit lacking this time... I wanted tea when it was time for dessert. Since this is a familiar restaurant for me, I will come back again. Thank you for the meal. o(_ _)o
