Indeed, Japan has its own Chinese cuisine at Ginza Aster! ♡
Authentic Chinese Cuisine in Japan! Experience Ginza Aster.
On the 2,685th anniversary of the founding of the nation,
I participated in a sacred ceremony and enjoyed some sacred sake.
After that, I got carried away with the standing bar and missed lunch time.
In such cases, I recommend the renowned Ginza Aster, which operates continuously.
I've recently become fond of Chinese baijiu.
I had two cups of Fenjiu while also enjoying some Shaoxing wine.
I ordered the classic three-piece appetizer set, although it actually comes with four varieties.
I nibbled and sipped, nibbled and sipped.
The jellyfish is truly delicious! ♡
The steamed chicken is incredibly tasty! ♡
The roasted pork is absolutely delightful! ♡
The walnuts and lotus seeds are really good too! ♡
The pickles are delicious as well! ♡
The quality and seasoning are outstanding.
Though the portions are quite generous,
I simply had to have a warm soup and noodles!
So, I ordered the seafood soba.
Soup:
It's wonderful! ♡
Most Japanese ramen soups seem underdeveloped in comparison.
Noodles:
They're good for Chinese noodles, but there’s definitely room for improvement.
The combination of soup and noodles:
It's nice.
The shrimp is plump! ♡
The shiitake mushrooms are large and rich in flavor! ♡
Ah, pure happiness!
Ginza Aster exists in Japan! ♡
I will come again.
It was a great meal!
A staple of high-quality Chinese cuisine across Japan.
During my walk, I craved Shaoxing wine and century egg, thinking that Ginza Aster would surely have them.
However, there was no century egg.
So, I ordered 200ml of Shaoxing wine and the "Three Assorted Appetizers!"
The Three Assorted Appetizers are said to be popular at Ginza Aster, featuring jellyfish, char siu, and steamed chicken.
Additionally, there were honey-glazed walnuts and delicious pickled zucchini and beets, which made the overall experience quite satisfying.
The jellyfish, in particular, was of high quality and very tasty.
With its crunchy and wiggly texture, the large jellyfish paired excellently with the crisp lettuce.
While the portion is ample for one person, it works perfectly as a snack and meal to accompany the drinks.
Everything was delicious.
I decided to get another 200ml of Shaoxing wine!
I also placed an additional order for "2 Slices of Peking Duck," which made me happy.
The skin and the wraps were served separately.
Then, the staff carefully wrapped them for me.
After all, Peking Duck is an event experience, so it's best to come with a group and order a whole duck or half a duck.
Watching the whole flavorful duck being served fresh and getting excited about wrapping the hot skin right there is part of the charm!
That process is essential to truly enjoy it!
In the case of these two slices, it would have been great if they offered to wrap the Peking Duck as a small event at the table, but it was done a bit far away.
While it might seem minor for the restaurant, it's a significant event for customers to experience the deliciousness!
If we could witness that process up close, it would bring great joy and even lead to a small round of applause.
There's room for improvement in showcasing this performance.
To finish off, I had the shark fin and seafood soup!
I was delighted that it came as a single portion.
It was rich with shark fin and shrimp, full of flavor.
After drinking plenty of oolong tea to slightly sober up, I returned home.
Though I splurged for a solo meal and snack, I enjoyed it immensely.
The ingredients were of high quality, making it a lovely restaurant.
It was a great meal!

After a Shinto ceremony,
I found myself at a late lunch,
without hesitation, I chose Ginza Aster.
They have continuous service, after all.
I ordered the assorted platter with some Shaoxing wine.
The jellyfish on this platter is particularly exquisite.
Everything is delicious, but this jellyfish is a rare find.
Recently, I've had great success with my diet,
so my stomach has shrunk quite a bit,
and I've lost a lot of weight.
Still, I decided to order one more seasonal dish!
I forgot the name, but it was scallops, chicken, and vegetables.
This was also delicious,
so I added a glass of Baijiu.
The male staff member commented,
"This is irresistible, isn't it?"
We had a little chat, and he said,
"Oh! You have a good palate!"
Since it was a late lunch,
the restaurant was quiet,
and with the afternoon sunlight pouring in,
I was quite busy with work,
but for a moment,
I was able to relax.
Thank you very much.
It was a great meal!
