We Filipino’s love to eat with our family and friends. One way or the other we come to dine in Japanese restaurants. My family loves those Katsu, Donburi, tempura and other japanese dishes.
Here another Japanese restaurant that I can personally recommend. Ginza Bairin is one of the pioneers in modern Japanese Katsu house. With their acclaimed Katsudon you would definitely say you will be back for more.
Ginza Bairin first opened doors at Glorietta 2, Makati City but because of the warm reception of the Filipino’s they opened their second at Katipunan.
“We are truly grateful for the very warm reception. Due to popular demand, we are very happy to expand to the north of Manila to allow more access and enjoyment of our delicious katsu,” said Scott Tan, Managing Director of Ginza Bairin. “We’re glad to give a taste of Japan right here in Metro Manila.”
What to expect at Ginza Bairin?
At first glance of the place I can say it’s inviting for families and friends to get together. You can have those conversations while enjoying your food.
