The story
The Ukai Taipei occupies the 46th floor of Breeze Nan Shan in Taipei’s Xinyi District, directly adjacent to Taipei 101. This Michelin-recommended restaurant presents two distinct Japanese dining concepts: teppanyaki at Ukai Tei and kappou at Kappou Ukai. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame panoramic views of the city, allowing guests to dine while overlooking Taipei’s skyline.
At the teppanyaki counter, guests witness the chef’s skill as premium ingredients are grilled on the iron plate. The counter dining experience is both interactive and refined, with lunch and dinner courses that highlight seasonal produce and meticulous technique. The menu offers a range of options, from lighter lunches to multi-course dinners.
For a more traditional Japanese course meal, Kappou Ukai serves a kaiseki-style menu that changes with the seasons. Each dish is carefully prepared to emphasize natural flavors and artful presentation. The open kitchen provides a glimpse into the chefs’ craftsmanship, creating an intimate and elegant atmosphere.
The Ukai Taipei’s recognition by the Michelin Guide reflects its commitment to quality and service. Whether for a business lunch or a special dinner, the restaurant offers an elegant yet welcoming setting, with impeccable hospitality and a focus on the finest Japanese culinary traditions.
