Fūreika

With its blistered, crisp skin and deep savory sauce wrapped inside soft, warm pancakes, Peking duck is the definitive reason many make their way to Fūreika in Higashi-Azabu. Carved straight from whole roasted birds and brought fresh to the table, each serving balances rendered richness and roasted aroma in quintessential fashion.

At lunch, the kitchen offers an array of daytime courses suited to various gatherings, including a dim sum course featuring a five-piece steamed assortment paired with tea, a Peking duck course, and a shark fin soup course. Chinese tea is served by the pot, allowing guests to savor its evolving aroma over repeated infusions as the meal progresses.

The evening repertoire shifts toward seasonal specialties, shark fin preparations, and complete Peking duck courses, paired easily with wine or cocktails for an elegant dinner. Private dining rooms are available, and the general dining tables are spaced comfortably under subdued lighting, creating a calm setting well-suited for celebrations or business dinners where conversation matters.

Guests visit throughout the day and evening, and booking well ahead of time helps ensure a seamless seat. Across the menu, attentive floor service complements time-tested Chinese culinary technique.
