Another dinner reservation DH and I made for the trip was a teppanyaki dinner at the one-Michelin starred restaurant in Ginza, Ukai Tei. Food was great and service was excellent.

Here, I watch chefs prepare meat and seafood before my eyes. Dining here is dramatic and intimate. My favorite is the tender Japanese beef.

Finally finish with a haute dinner at teppanyaki top spot Ukai-tei and a nightcap courtesy of lofty deck-wrapped diva Two Rooms.
