Actually, I originally wanted to go to the Tonwang next door to eat a bowl of ramen, but I accidentally went to the wrong place. It was a bit awkward to come here alone, but since I was here and had plenty of time, I decided to try it [awkward] I sat at the bar on the second floor, and the environment was okay. The foie gras was delicate and not greasy, the tempura was not obviously greasy, the beef udon soup was delicious, and finally a dessert was given.

There is a nice leisure commercial street at No. 88 Tongren Road, Jing'an District, Shanghai, with some restaurants, coffee shops and other businesses next to it. I chose this Ueto Japanese restaurant at noon today. My friend said it is an old Japanese restaurant brand in Shanghai and worth a try. The first floor is not very big. The first floor is the kitchen and tatami private room. The second floor is relatively large. There is a 16-person board on the second floor. This is one of the larger board I have seen so far. The business is not bad at noon on weekends. The chefs are busy. Today I just saw the chefs cutting the tuna belly. The product is more delicate. It is the first time to eat the grilled tuna chin in Figure 4. The meat is good and the fat is relatively rich. It is a little greasy when you put it in your mouth. It will be much better if you squeeze some lemon juice.

Speaking of Ueto, the most famous thing is their famous eel rice, which is so delicious that people travel thousands of miles to make reservations! The thick sauce soaks the rice, and the charred eel lies on it. The meat is thick and chewy, and you will be impressed before you even start eating! The eel rice is made to order, and it is worth waiting for 45 minutes!

I go almost every month! I've eaten at so many Japanese restaurants in Shanghai, including the so-called "high-end" ones on the Bund and in Pudong. This is still my favorite. The ingredients are fresh, the prices are reasonable, and they've added many new dishes in the past year. My favorites are the Ryukyu foie gras, vegetable tempura, wasabi octopus, sashimi platter, grilled beef tongue, and grilled shark fin. Paired with various intoxicating sakes from Niigata, Yamagata, Yamaguchi, and Shizuoka prefectures, wow, "satisfying" doesn't even begin to describe it! They have private rooms, and the underfloor heating is excellent even in winter. I've lost count of how many times I've topped up my card. I absolutely love this restaurant… Keep up the good work!

The taste is very authentic, the Japanese service is excellent, and the environment is particularly nice.
