ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 I live in this fantastic city with 300,000 restaurants. I go out for dinner almost every night (about once in a year I cook at home). Now and then I take down some notes, write a little review the next day, and have it published in the local Metropolis magazine.Anyone interested reading some of my reviews here? (It's not only about Japanese food; we have restaurants here from possibly any country in the world.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-pops- Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Nothing wrong with raw fish.I live near to one of the best Japanese restaurants in the UK and I quite often eat there - including raw fish. Nippon KanI also eat raw steak at the Teppan Yaki. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catgate Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 I also eat raw steak at the Teppan Yaki.The thought of eating raw steak makes me feel 'tepp an' kacky', but Pat's food surprised me with it's prices. We certainly do live in a rip off society. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We certainly do live in a rip off society.It isn't the norm to eat raw meat at a Tappen Yaki, just that the chefs know me now and will always prepare my steak with the normal Japanese seasonings but just not cook it. I never could understand this common revulsion of eating uncooked meat or fish. OK, some doesn't taste very nice (e.g. chicken) and could be dangerous (e.g. chicken) but it can be very pleasant.I, too, am amazed at the low prices given in the article quoted by Pat. I've always thought Japan to be extremely expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 I certainly wouldn't take chances. I believe in thorough cooking of meat and fish. Each to his own of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted March 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 We had raw horse meat two nights ago, with a bit of soy sauce and freshly grated wasabi. Not too bad, but it's not something I would order every day.Raw chickens: I do not even eat them cooked...Food prices in Tokyo / Japan: hailing from Switzerland, I was pleasantly surprised how inexpensive one can eat in Tokyo. Of course there are the ¥100,000 steaks, but one doesn't necessarily have to go to such a place. Izakaya are inexpensive drinking places that serve all kinds of food. Or some people are satisfied with a bowl of ramen noodles for dinner, which can cost less than ¥500.I will start with the dining diaries tomorrow. Thank you for your interest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
