This will be UKAI’s first directly managed outlet located inside a hotel in Japan. The cuisine will be Japanese, centered on Ukai tofu. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner will feature dishes pairing house-made tofu with seasonal ingredients. A salon area will also be provided, offering alcoholic beverages and small confections. The interior is designed around a theme of duality, blending tradition and innovation, and combining serenity with vibrancy.
