The restaurant, with the name of Chikutei (Restaurant with bamboo), is located at the foot of Mt. Takao and is surrounded by lush greenery. The meticulous Japanese garden has a tea room, Koi carp pond, and water wheel, where we offer seasonal dishes in a

We went to this restaurant after an interval of about ten years. After all, it was splendid. Scenery, the staff, interior decoration of the room, the dishes. They were all great. Sure, it is far from Shinjyuku or Shibuya. But it is worth for visiting. All the dishes taste good. We were satisfied very much. I consider that Chikutei is more splendid than Toriyama. It's crowded there, especially during the autumn season. I think that you should make reservations early.

Tofuya-Ukai Owada

Featuring vermillion-lacquered walls and a bridge. Passing in front of the garden lantern and waterwheel and walking on the steppingstones, you will find yourself back in time in the town of Edo, the Tokyo of 200 years ago. Away from your daily grind, our

Tofuya-Ukai-Owada, 2-18-10 Owada Chou, Hachioji is one of the 10 or so Ukai restaurants in the Tokyo area. Each is fairly unique in its menu, setting and architecture. Because the principal dish served here is tofu (bean curd) in many of its different modes the cost of food is relatively low for the restaurant and the price for customers is quite reasonable for what you get. 3,680 buys the standard meal which is excellent and the top menu item is about 6,800 yen.The setting is charming, a new building but strongly influenced by traditional Japanese architecture and style. The food is excellent and the service equally good. You can look it up on their web site ukai.co.jp/English/index.html. I strongly recommend reservations, my wife books for us but I would think they can handle a booking in English, just take your time and be patient.While you can drive there, the directions are a bit complex and I would recommend taking a taxi from Hachioji Station either the Keio or Chuo Line station, about 1,800 yen as I recall.I have also eaten at two other Ukai restaurants in Takao, Ukai Toriyama and Ukai Chikutei which are substantially more expensive, but with an even more impressive setting. My firm recommendation for an introduction to fine, but reasonably priced traditional Japanese cusine is their Tofuya in Owada Chou.

Outeian

Reviewed By Pamela T

First visit, won't be my last! Outeian=Nightengale. Serenity immediately enveloped us, as nightengale song greeted our birthday party group upon our arrival. Several bilingual party guests insured the culturally significant aspects of our dinner weren't lost in translation! The dinner theme was the autumnal equinox, the season's change from summer into fall; the restaurant's lovely garden was lit by a full moon. The menu (see below) sounds very ordinary in English, but the taste and presentation were exceptionally wonderful. Here was our menu: Soup: Matsutake mushroom (earthy, available only in autumn) soup with white fish, Japanese tiger prawn, ginkgo nut, parsley Yakimono (grilled appetizer): Cod with chrysanthemum and chestnutHachimono: Black pork with Japanese pear, taro bud, special beans Entree: Japanese beef with seasonal vegetables and special sauce, served with side dishes of Matsutake mushroom cooked with rice; pickles and miso soup Dessert: Sweet potato custard with a juicy sliced muscat and Azuki (red bean) soup (more like jam), with mochi (of course!). The phases of the moon are layered in gold leaf under the plate's glaze; printed on the placemat was a famous haiku about the moon. I asked why there were so many rabbits pictured among the moon decorations...the translation (get ready to be amazed): in western culture, we look to the night sky to see the "Man in the Moon." Japanese, however, don't look for a man's face in the moon: they see a RABBIT POUNDING MOCHI IN THE MOON. Just love Japan! While we sat to eat, we heard koto music, which I at first assumed was recorded. Then one of our Japanese guests pointed to the koto player in a room across the lake from us--we were hearing live music! Wonderfully memorable.

サークル仲間との忘年会に利用。八王子では名の知れた高級な店なので、私も数回はきているが、何かのお祝いや法事などの利用が多い。久しぶりに女性同士でのんびりゆっくりのランチ。ランチは四種類。お手軽な昼膳は2100円。あとの三種類は5100円、8200円、11300円とお高い。私たちは5100円のコース。六種類と食事とデザート。最後にはお抹茶とおまんじゅうで優雅なランチタイム終了。紅葉が残った庭に出ていわれのあるお茶室も見学させてもらった。仲居さんが説明をしてくれ、帰るときは角を曲がるまで見送ってくれた。値段は安くないが、こうしたもてなしで気持ちよくさせてもらった。たまにはいいねと、皆幸せ気分。
