Hi! I'm looking for more information on what a ryotei is. When I was reading the manga Crimson Hero, I read that the heroine is the heiress to a ryotei.

I would like more info on this type of Japanese business. Where can I find more information?

Wikipedia didn't have an article on the subject. That is why I'm asking for more information.

I speak a few words of Japanese, and know some basic phrases, but for my visit to Tokyo give me one phrase that will be most useful to remember...

It can be serious, quirky or whatever...the kind of phrase you might not find in a typical language book.
