When it comes to experiencing the epitome of luxury dining in Taiwan, The UKAI Taipei, YUIMOM Group stands unmatched. Recently crowned Best Luxury Fine Dining Cuisine in Taiwan by the prestigious Luxury Lifestyle Awards 2024, this exclusive venue offers an unparalleled culinary journey that combines the finest elements of Japanese cuisine with breathtaking panoramic views of Taipei. Here’s why The UKAI Taipei should be at the top of your must-visit list. 

A Fusion of Culinary Excellence

The UKAI Taipei brings together the best of two renowned Japanese dining concepts: “Ukai-tei,” famed for its exquisite teppanyaki, and “kappou ukai,” which has introduced Japanese cuisine to the world with its intricate, multi-course meals. Kappou ukai embodies the spirit of improvisational cooking, offering guests a front-row seat to the culinary process. As you sit in front of the plate, you can savor the aroma and sounds, while marveling at the chefs’ dazzling and superb skills. This experience allows you to enjoy fresh, seasonal kappou ukai dishes, creating a feast that excites both the taste buds and the senses of discerning gourmets. This fusion creates an extraordinary dining experience that is both novel and modern, making every meal at The UKAI Taipei a celebration of taste and refinement. 

Exquisite Dishes at The UKAI Taipei

Among the exquisite dishes at The UKAI Taipei, the Wagyu beef, imported exclusively from Tamura Farm, stands out as a rare and precious offering. Raised at the designated Ukai-tei Wagyu pasture, this beef features meat with a luscious taste and low melting point, where the meat and fat fuse to create a unique, aromatic flavor. Another highlight is the classic salt-steamed abalone, which, when cooked with kelp and seasoned with sea salt, evokes the sensation of abalone swimming freely in the ocean, presenting its original, fresh, and sweet taste in a tender selection.  

The garlic fried rice with Niigata Koshihikari rice and six cloves of Aomori white garlic is another must-try. This dish combines steaming and barbecuing layers of rice on an iron plate, resulting in a delightful texture enhanced with kelp salt and soy sauce. To conclude your meal, the UKAI classic chiffon cake, praised for its humble appearance but stunning taste, offers a soft and smooth bite that leaves a delightful aftertaste, making it a perfect and happy ending to your dining experience. 

Unmatched Ambiance and Location

Perched on the 46th floor of Nanshan Breeze Plaza, Taipei’s most fashionable landmark, The UKAI Taipei offers a dining experience like no other. As you step into this high-elevation haven, you’re greeted with sweeping views of the city and the Four Beasts Mountains, all framed by the restaurant’s chic, starry universe ambiance designed by internationally acclaimed interior designer Yasumichi Morita. Whether you’re enjoying a romantic dinner or hosting a special celebration, the mesmerizing vistas and luxurious setting create an unforgettable backdrop. 

Personalized and Unrestricted Dining Experience

At The UKAI Taipei, dining is an art form, and every guest is treated to a bespoke experience. From the moment you are seated until the end of your meal, there are no time limits, allowing you to savor each bite at your own pace.
