I mentioned in one of my previous posts that I get to visit lots of hotels as part of my job. This time round, I’m bringing you something rather exotic albeit expensive from one of Japan’s finest international hotels.
I had the privilege of dining at Grand Hyatt Tokyo at Roppongi Hills. This area is pretty much the equivalent of Beverly Hills. Tonight, dinner was at the exquisite sushi bar, Roku Roku. Fish is purchased daily from Tsujiki market or directly from selected fisheries so you can be guaranteed the finest tastes.

Uni or sea urchin, yummylicious
The roe itself has a deep orange colour with a creamy texture and tastes sweet. We had a combination of beer and two different sakes which will wonderfully paired for such a meal. To top it all, the service was absolutely first class. Definitely worth a try for any foodie.

La-dee-dah! I love uni, too. How lucky you are, gallivanting around in fancy-schmancy hotels like the Grand Hyatt. Just kidding.
If you feel like having a down-home, authentic Japanese experience, though, you should visit a sake brewery. I know you want to learn more about sake, and this is a great place to do it next time you’re down in Kansai.
