nice TR. i had an outstanding meal at a few higher end itzakaya's for around 5000Y also....

not sure where the myth that Japan was expesive for food comes from...i suspect it is people going to the Park Hyatt and ordering a steak...
Thank you, mkjr.
I think the myth started in the late 80's when Japan was enjoying her hubris due to so called bubble economy.
And also, as usual, those restaurants are not so easy to find, and they usually have Japanese menu only.
