'House made sesame tofu with sea urchin, fresh wasabi and dashi sauce'

I did not eat the urchin

From Left to Right:

Some kind of Fried scallop thing, something that might have been Abalone, more Tofu in dashi, and what I believe to be a small serving of Steamed egg custard with pike eel, shiitake, shrimp, misuba, sea urchin & smoked trout roe

I particularly enjoyed the tomato with the bit of mild cheese

Scallop & Snapper, I think. I really should have wrote this down

Cool story bro

>>18062254
Mackerel & Barracuda. This was all really quite good

>>18062231
>>18062254
I find it interesting and like the pics

>I did not eat the urchin
You're pathetic, I don't care if it would make your throat swell and close from allergies.

This I believe was a miso marinaded black cod

>>18062262
This one I believe was something like Blue fin Tuna with mountain yam, caviar, Hokkaido Bafun sea urchin & salmon roe on top

I did eat the urchin this time. I liked it so much I got 2 more bowls

I don't remember what this is. Maybe someone can chime in

>>18062281
I believe that is the California roll

The old standby, but far, far better than anything I can get in Leafland

I million dollah you baka gaijin

Based

Deep fried blue fin tuna with house made tartar sauce. This was extremely tasty, we ordered another

These all look absolutely disgusting and your disgisting op for paying for this garbage and eating it.

Deep fried fresh fish collar with dashi sauce. This one wasn't so great and a bit tough to eat after you're several drinks into the evening

I /think/ this was Salmon roe maki

On the one hand, I feel like michelin-stars are a total gimmick. On the other hand, the best food I'd ever had was from a 1 star michelin place.

'A5 Grade Japanese Beef'

It was tasty, we got another order, but nothing mindblowing like people say. I've had better 'Wagyu' from a tiny grill place in Kyoto for like $5

Le pudding, as the redditors say

How much was it, was it worth it?

disgisting

The prixe fixe menu was $95 per pre-tax, and the Sake was maybe $90. The rest was on addons. desu $280/person wasn't that bad, considering the quality of the food and service at the place and the fact that it was actually a backup choice. The waitress was very nice, but I do wish she spoke better English - 8/10 would go again if someone else pays

>>18062311
A lot of them are, but this one seems pretty deserving. I try to judge restaurants outside of how many stars they have or which chef's name is associated with it; the best food I've had has been at extremely well-run places that don't go for official nods

>I've had better 'Wagyu' from a tiny grill place in Kyoto for like $5
And you just outed your own bullshit.
You aren’t going to find anything like that in Japan for $5.

>>18062351
That's not bad for how many courses you got

>>18062330
nice

>>18062381
Okay, maybe it was $10 then. Some inconsequential amount. It was at that covered market in Kyoto, Nishiki or something. I also got balls there

>>18062281
I think its some fish's eggs, but don't quote me on that, and no it's not an american thing japs do it too

That looked good OP but I don't get how real japs eat kaigun curry and ramen IRL. Are these places a scam to fool gaijins?

>>18062451
Probably. My hosts in Japan took me out for fancy bbq instead of fancy sushi

>>18062402
it's extremely overpriced for a few grams of raw fis h and some shitty carbs

>>18062246
is that a marijuana leaf?
call 911

You are retarded op. This >>18062233 is NOT sea urchin its just roe of some kind. This >>18062281 IS sea urchin.

>>18062498
Let me guess, you’re one of those fags who objectively define “value” in terms of “calories per dollar”?

>>18062304
I get that the kids think it's hip to shit on fine dining these days, but pretending the food looks disgusting just makes you sound retarded.

>>18062451
Did you really just ask if ramen is a gaijin scam?

>>18062911
Yeah, I feel like OP mixed up a few of the dishes.

Some literal Foodcourt store for a one star in Singapore so I assume it's about as good as that.

>>18062246
doesn't even look good

>>18062911
Sorry, I forgot. Now I know what is roe of some kind, and what is sea urchin, until I forget again

>>18063106
Tasted pretty good

I did have this excellent burger the next day. It was super duper

>>18063092
That place lost its star a few years back, I heard. I've been there (pre-star hype), this was better than that

looks yucky.

>>18062451
Dude they cram Japanese curry everywhere. They even eat pasta with it

>>18062231
>eating at a sit down resturant in San Francisco
so, have you gotten your boosters yet?

>>18062920
No if expensive sushi places like OP restaurant I asked

>>18064231
They didn’t check, no place did.

I went crawling through USS Hornet with a bunch of old dudes, including a private tour of cramped command spaces, then spent the rest of the week in work meetings, and I didn’t catch anything. My boss got a bad case of Rona, though. He was out for two weeks

>>18064288
At some point it’s diminishing returns, but I didn’t feel like it was a giant waste of money or anything

>>18062351
You could've hired a dominatrix for that much

>>18064557
I'm told good escorts cost >$1000/hr, this was $570 for 2 hours
