My daughter treated me to a meal in Sakae Sushi in BTS. Although the ordering and menu systems (touchpad ordering) is very 'hip', food is lousy even for this unker. They adverstised 'buy 1 free 1' for those served on red plates, each RM5.99 on the moving belt. Those on the belt is only a few variations and off course the cheap types. The ones ordered from the menu is also dissapointing, they appeared different from the menu. I have a feeling that to enjoy Japanese food, you better 'hantam kau kau' in real Japanese Restaurant like Kampachi or don't eat it at all. The only time I really enjoyed Japanese food was in The Mall's Hashigoaka and also there's one old Japanese restaurant since the 80s on the first floor beside Oriental Hotel in Penang.

I rather stick to Korean food for now. More palatable for me. laugh.gif

In the definition of wagyu beef, the meat is suppose to come from special type of bull.
Does anybody know how to authentic/verify the wagyu beef sold in KL?

Originally it was the beer fed bulls in Japan and it is known as Kobe beef. They are also massaged to relax the bovine's muscles, it seems. It is very very prized and expensive. Then the ranchers elsewhere got their stock and they too started rearing the species and hence we have Wagyu as they can't be called Kobe beef as they are not from Kobe. Honestly, if a Japanese restaurant will to tell you it is Kobe beef, can you differentiate ? laugh.gif I rather eat veal anyway.

If there's Kobe beef it is even more expensive but getting them is also a challenge. laugh.gif Even if you have the money. Wagyu is the rolls royce of beef so the prices are more expensive. Every time I sit down after planning to try, I backed out and have ribeye or porterhouse instead. laugh.gif I mean a serving is porterhouse will strain your stomach lining and it is way cheaper than wagyu. I did try once when there was a customer request and it makes the chef's work easy. It is already tender by nature so it is easy to prepare as the grains are beautiful. Even at purchase stage the price is 5 times more than the best ribeye. Although I am a chef myself, still beef is beef. In fact sometimes I feel Wagyu has no 'feel' when eating, too soft. Anyway it's just an opinion as taste and preference is subjective. Every single person has different tolerances and taste and this also applies to your question too. Some may feel it worth and some don't. icon_rolleyes.gif

So anyway I went to Tsukiji fish market - twice! Once for Sushi Dai and once for Daiwa Sushi (the two supposedly best sushi joints in the area). Sushi was frickin' awesome! Totally worth the 1.5-hour queue.

jogoya is quantity >>> quality. it's worth going if you're one of those types who can hantam 3 plates of oysters and still got room to whack sashimi like today is last day on earth. besides that, it's got a big variety of food, so there's "something for everyone." just that the food quality is overall pretty bad.

Hmm...apart of coconut and their Haagen Dazs ice cream...others are all so-so only...the price indeed is frightening but please do understand the food variety here is extensively wide! So you are paying for that.

To me if you are looking for a Japanese Buffet Restaurant, do not expect their food to be extremely good. Set a lower expectation. As long as the food is edible, it will be just fine.

In my opinion, the only thing I do not like about Jogoya is the crowd. Too crowded. You are squeezing yourself with one another with wet floor and sometimes you will see sashimi on the floor and people will not care and just kick around accidentally. You will lost all your food appetite when you see those.

So for Japanese Buffet Restaurant, I highly recommend you to go for ala-carte buffet which are Munakata and Umaiya...as far as I known of. The variety maybe less...BUT....

1) Food served are hot
2) Sashimi are freshly cut
3) You don't have to hunt for your own food. Sit down and enjoy your meal being served.
4) You don't have to cook your own food and made your own ice-kacang...lol!
