thanks for the helpful info ^

the top two sushi in tokyo are more like $200. kyubei and something jiro i never remember.

what restaurants other than Pierre Gagnaire in europe? aha, its about $300 225€ ($295) dinner ^ so i guess a fair number actually, anything about 200 euros would be just under $300..

whereas london tops out with ramsay at about 100 pounds doesnt it?

robuchon is flat out cheap in tokyo compared to vegas and new york.

masa is only > $300 in NY, i checked ducasse and per se..

looks like ill go with robuchon. being in a hotel is a plus, probably better "value" than masa to a certain degree. especially the amount of food, 16 courses

aragawa and kyubei ill hit when im in japan next year.

thanks again gadget for giving me a few more directions to look in / double check ^
