Why is it safe for a woman alone?

Do you have an image that "it is a hurdle to enter a small restaurant in Ginza by yourself as a woman"? Ginza Hanarin" puts such concerns to rest. The grand proprietress, Yuka Nakamura, opened this restaurant out of her desire to provide working women with nutritious and healthy food. With many female staff members, the restaurant offers a relaxing atmosphere even for first-timers.

The interior of the restaurant is a gorgeous space decorated with red paper lanterns and parasols. The interior, inspired by an Edo period brothel, creates a Japanese atmosphere. Not only is it stylish, but the warmth of the service is also a reason for its popularity among female customers.

The proprietress is particular about the charm of "fermented cuisine

One of the most distinctive features of the cuisine at Ginza Hanarin is the abundant use of fermented foods. Yuka Nakamura, a certified nutritionist, uses homemade shio koji and miso to bring out the best flavor and nutrition in the ingredients.

Example of Obanzai

  • Three kinds of "obanzai"(2,640 yen including tax)
    The "Shirofu" made with sakekasu (sake lees), the "Itokon Ume Kosho" with its exquisite sour and spicy flavor, and the "Octopus Smoked Potato Salad," the restaurant's signature dish. All dishes using seasonal ingredients are carefully seasoned and go great with sake.
  • Fermented daikon and yellowtail spring rolls(770 yen per bottle)
    This dish is made by purchasing a whole cold yellowtail and processing it on the same day. The spring rolls are made with fermented daikon radish and takana (Chinese cabbage) and fried at a high temperature until crispy.

All dishes have a mild taste and are recommended for health-conscious people. The use of fermented seasonings that are not too acidic is exquisite and enhances the quality of the ingredients.

A must-see for sake lovers! A selection of the best lineup of sake

At Ginza Hanarin, we always have more than 10 varieties of sake carefully selected from all over Japan. The selection, which includes popular brands such as "Jikin" and "Saku," is designed to pair well with food. Seasonal sake is also available, so you will encounter new tastes every time you visit.

The sake cups are also a special feature of the restaurant. The approximately 400 pieces of sake cups inherited from the proprietress's grandmother are all unique, such as the "Uguisu Tokkuri," which makes a sound when poured. Here is an experience that can be enjoyed with both the eyes and the palate.
