Dinner @ Tokyo Shiba, Toufaya Ukai

Ate a splendid and interesting Japanese meal with the other 20+ GPC delegates at a restaurant called Tokyo Shiba, Toufaya Ukai. The land is right at the base of Tokyo Tower, an incredible structure that could hold its own against Paris' Eiffel Tower. There's a great review of the place below, sourced from here. Another blogger writes an apt description of some of the special dishes offered at this restaurant here.
"Today we introduce to you "Tokyo Shiba Tofu-ya Ukai", which respects Japanese taste and produces it excellently... One of the advantages of this restaurant is its good location. It's located just at the foot of the Tokyo Tower, the symbol of Tokyo. When you stand in front of the gate of the restaurant, you can see the big Tokyo Tower behind the restaurant... If you enter the gate of the restaurant after being fascinated by such splendid view, you'll find a narrow upward stairs. After you go up the stairs and go through the wall, you'll be struck by the Japanese traditional styled building. It's built under the concept of "Edo" culture. There is dreamily impressive contrast between "Edo" styled building and Tokyo Tower. Inside of the "Edo" building, there is a Japanese traditional waiting room, and ahead of it, there are the big Sake (Japanese wine) barrels that were moved from Yamagata prefecture. You are invited to Edo era, as if you slip back in time to the old ages.
As the name of the restaurant is "Tofu-ya" (bean curd restaurant), they serve us the Japanese dishes based on Tofu. Every course starts with Goma (sesame) Tofu. It's soft and mild and smooth texture, and the taste of it is very sophisticated. This daintiness arouses our expectation for the following dishes. Among them, "Age-Dengaku" (deep fried Tofu) is impressive. It looks just like an ordinary deep fried Tobu, but when you bite it, you feel crispness of the surface and the softness from the inside. According to the staff's explanation, Tofu is sliced thicker than the ordinal so that the softness could be remained. Furthermore, after deep-fried, it's roasted one by one on the charcoal fire at the court garden, this labor can create the crispness of the surface.
Tofu that boiled with soymilk and soup stock, Yuba (soymilk paper), Sashimi (raw fishes) and meat dishes that vary from course to course, each dishes create typical Japanese taste, mild and delicate, and offer us a peaceful satisfaction.
After you enjoy the dinner, it may be good idea to walk around the court garden. The old tree aged more than one hundred years, the ponds where carps are swimming, the beautiful Japanese garden, all those amenity spaces will gives you another peaceful satisfaction."
