An unforgettable atmosphere: A Tofu Kaiseki Lunch right next to the iconic Tokyo Tower
At the foot of Tokyo Tower lies the long-admired “Ukai Tofuya.” This time, I went with four kimono friends for a cheerful lunch gathering.
It was raining that day, but honestly, the drizzle only added charm. At one point I thought, “Wait… did they order this rain as part of the experience?” We chose the lunch course Take (Bamboo) — a little indulgent, but still very reasonable for such authentic flavors. The gardens and architecture were breathtaking; I caught myself taking more photos than talking.
Usually it’s a spot for business dinners, but daytime dining is equally wonderful. We even tried the famous bamboo sake at lunch — a small buzz, but in the best way. It felt like a hidden world in the middle of Tokyo. If a friend visits from abroad, this is exactly where I’d proudly take them — a perfect taste of Japan in one place.
Summary Great for family, friends, anniversaries, or special occasions. A meal that’s gentle on the body, yet deeply satisfying for the heart. I’ll definitely return. It’s the kind of place that makes you whisper, “I’m so glad to be alive.” Truly a happy moment.

東京タワーのふもとにある、ずっと気になっていた「豆腐屋うかい亭」へ。
着付け仲間4人で、るんるん気分のランチ会。
この日は雨でしたが、それすら風情。むしろ「演出ですか？」と聞きたくなるレベル（笑）
選んだのはランチメニュー“竹”。少し贅沢だけど無理なく楽しめて、しかも本物の味。
お庭や建物の雰囲気も完璧で、思わず会話より写真多めになるほど見惚れました。
普段は接待で使われることも多いけれど、昼間の利用も本当に良き。
名物の竹酒をお昼からいただき、軽くほろ酔い。都会の真ん中とは思えない別世界でした。
「外国から友達が来たら絶対連れて行きたい！」そう思えるくらい、日本らしさ満点で胸を張って案内できるお店です。
まとめ
家族や友達、記念日やお祝いにも。
身体に優しい美味しいご飯を気軽にいただけて、心まで満たされる時間。
また必ず行きます。生きててよかったと思える、幸せなひととき。ごちそうさまでした✨
