たいたけ さやこ
Nice to meet you, Jiuzhaigou Ginza branch. After a fast-paced stroll in Ginza, feeling quite tired and hungry, I decided to visit before the 11:30 opening time and found a line already formed! It's clear how popular this place is! I was worried, but the restaurant had a decent capacity, easily accommodating large groups for all-you-can-eat. I was seated, handed a plate, and asked if I wanted the complimentary xiaolongbao, to which I eagerly replied "Yes!" I enjoyed dishes like fried rice, egg drop soup, fried dumplings, authentic Sichuan mapo tofu, shrimp mayo, black vinegar pork, fried chicken, curry-flavored almond tofu, fresh vegetables, and more. There was no time limit, and new dishes kept coming, making it seem like you could eat forever. However, the rich and heavy Chinese cuisine caught me off guard. Each dish was flavorful and the portions were generous, quickly leading to a feeling of fullness. Just when I thought I had eaten enough, the piping hot xiaolongbao arrived, with the juicy meat bursting out. It was a challenge to eat without spilling any meat juice, but it added to the experience. Despite feeling like I hadn't eaten much, the satisfaction and fullness hit me hard. This must be the magic of Chinese cuisine. I can't help but feel defeated, but I believe the 1,000 yen all-you-can-eat lunch in Ginza is a steal.
