01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
Sashimi, grilled fish, simmered fillets, and deep-fried seafood line the menu at Orai. Positioned near the entrance to the Meguro Ginza shopping street, the restaurant offers an unpretentious setting where diners can enjoy satisfying Japanese set meals at an easygoing pace.
Fish features prominently among the daily staples, including sashimi assortments of white-fleshed and oily fish, mackerel simmered with tofu in sweet-savory miso broth, and fragrant grilled coho salmon. For those leaning toward meat, choices like bite-sized pork ginger sauté and yurinchi fried chicken provide plenty of alternatives to suit the day's mood.
Each teishoku tray arrives well furnished with rice, miso soup, multiple small side dishes, and pickles. Guests can customize their trays with toppings such as raw egg, natto, or spicy cod roe, or round out the meal with deep-fried sides like croquettes and minced squid cutlets.
The space accommodates both counter diners and small groups at tables, making it just as convenient for solo lunches as it is for an evening set dinner enjoyed over a cold beer.
