Ginza Japanese Restaurant

Stopped here for lunch on a ramen kick day.  After years of walking/driving by this place, I was excited to try it out.  Even more excited seeing that the majority of staff and customers were Japanese (always a good sign when the ethnic restaurant is populated by the same ethnic customers).

Gave the ramen a whirl, and tamago sushi.

Ramen:  Nice simple pork broth, good flavor, with springy noodles to back.  The pork was overcooked (IMHO) as it lacked tenderness, and definitely lacked fattiness that I've come to enjoy with ramen.  But the noodles were definitely enjoyable and the broth/ingredients had simple but enjoyable flavors.

Tamago:  Not bad, not great either.  A nice sweetness, and the egg was layered well, but something was lacking in the presentation... the yellow just wasn't very bright/eye-popping, but the flavor was good.

Verdict:  All in all, a nice place to eat with some great traditional Japanese options.  Enjoyable homemade food that's satisfying and tasty.  It won't be the best you've ever eaten, but it's solidly good food.  (And the prices are reasonable, especially for the area!)

Pretty good ramen, but their sushi and traditional dishes (broiled fish) are better.   Very authentic.  The majority of the staff is Japanese, which is very rare for a "sushi" restaurant these days.  Highly recommend!

Unagi and uni sushi are the best! And don't forget to try the Mochi ice cream after entree
