QUOTE(yellowpika @ Jan 19 2017, 04:54 PM) It's at this place called 肉屋の台所 宮益坂ミート(near Shibuya crossing). It's not cheap though, at around 11960 yen for two pax(4980 yen for wagyu beef course + 1000 yen for free flow of alcohol). But you get free flow of marbled wagyu beef... Got Kobe beef ? |

WOW! that's like rm400++... i wonder if it's marked up because it's a tourist area or if it's the same everywhere...  |

Thats pretty much normal although some places you can get 2990/pax or cheaper. BUt this shop comes with wagyu beef, so I think its worth it. You cannot compare it to RM as this is Japan. |

Not sure, but I think it's worth trying at least once(unless you can find other similar restaurants at a cheaper price, then go ahead)..  Since I've been eating at those "vending machine restaurants" and McD in Japan during this whole trip, might as well splurge at least once..

QUOTE(lucaswjk @ Jan 20 2017, 06:11 PM) look at those fat texture 🤤 Interestingly enough, I once had a rib eye steak sampler with side by side portions of kobe beef, aussie grass fed beef and aussie 450-days grain fed beef. even though the kobe was by far the juiciest and fattiest, i actually thought it was too fatty, and preferred the aussie grain fer cow's beefier taste Another random musing: Wagyu rib eys tend to be sold without the rib eye cap for some reason ... |

Hi guys,
Me and my friends are going to Japan next month. We're planning to go Kansai Airport (KIX) -> Kyoto -> Osaka -> Kansai Airport (KIX) I've read that its best to get the ICOCA-Haruka set for cheaper ticket to Kyoto. So just to reconfirm if I understand it correctly. http://www.westjr.co.jp/global/en/ticket/icoca-haruka/ Based on the Site, it is 3,600YEN for the ICOCA-Haruka set, one way from Kansai-airport - Kyoto. Then I can also purchase another discounted one way ticket from Tennoji-Kansai-airport for 1,100YEN. Also, if I were to purchase the Kansai-airport - Kyoto ticket. For that same price, I can drop off at either of the available 4 stations; Kyoto Station, Nijo Station, Uzumasa Station and Saga-Arashiyama Station? |
