When I was in Tokyo I wanted some awesome Japanese Sukiyaki. Get all the details here: Japanese sukiyaki ) has always been a meal that I love, something that's just a great classic flavored dish that goes down well - I would call it a comfort dish. When I was in Tokyo I wanted to maximize the quality of food I could eat with my budget. So I did a lot of research and took my time to decided which restaurants to eat at, carefully. One day I really wanted to eat sukiyaki, and in an article in the Japan Times, I came across the suggestion for a restaurant known as Yoshihashi. They mentioned this restaurant was extremely classy with prices to go with it - however, during the lunchtime, at one of the 12 bar seats, they offered an awesome lunch special a very affordable price. You can be sure I was the first in line at Yoshihashi, and my mind and tongue were thrilled to sample their high class sukiyaki. As soon as we arrive to the restaurant I could see just how prestigious it was - there wasn't even a sign on the restaurant. It was just straight clean wood and minimal design. There was nobody waiting in line like at many other restaurants in Tokyo, but rather it just had a feeling of elegance and prestige. So as soon as the clock struck their open hour, we headed in, and then took our seats at the bar to eat sukiyaki. There was no menu in English, but I did my best to just order the normal version of the dish, nothing extra and no other requests. The waitress in a kimono served us a cup of green to begin with, without a hint of a smile, not in an unfriendly way but more in an elegant way. I wasn't sure if photos or videos were allowed inside Yoshihashi ) as at many Japanese restaurants they are concerned about such things. So I started off very calmly and tried to keep my voice extremely quiet despite my thrill of eating the awesome food. Our sukiyaki ) came in about 10 minutes, and rather than being served in a hot pot style, it was served all assembled in a piping hot copper bowl. The main dish came with an egg and few small garnishes on the side. I whirled up my egg first and then started grabbing bites of the sukiyaki ) and dipping them into the raw egg before eating. The beef, though not even their most high quality version, was outstanding. It was tender and literally just fell apart in my mouth leaving a flavor that was accented by soy sauce and rice wine. The flavors were delicate, but extremely smooth and I could taste the definite quality in their ingredients. We did manage to get enough of a video, but like I suspected, after a few minutes, the waitress did ask us not to take any more photos, so we stopped. Hopefully I captured enough of this awesome sukiyaki ) meal at Yoshihashi ) to show a little picture of this awesome restaurant, the elegance, and the quality of the atmosphere and food. Dining at Yoshihashi ) was really an amazing experience, and for just 20 it was well worth it. By the way, dinner can cost around 200 or more.

As a sign of respect for those very highly prestigious places, you shouldn't record those meal. You knew it wasn't the policy of the establishment but you did it anyways. That is why those places will develop a negative image towards foreign visitors and won't accept them in the future. As a visitor you always are an ambassador of your country and - in the case of Japan - of all the gaijins in general. Therefore, you shouldn't do it as mark of respect for the establishment and for all the upcoming visitors. Don't be so selfish as the objective of those restaurants is to enjoy the food respectfully and quietly and not to show off you meal to millions of people. I live in Japan, I went to this place and I really felt embarrassed while looking at the video as you clearly lacked respect in your behavior from a Japanese perspective. I can also image the having you eating your dish and your friend filming. Super weird and a clear mismatch with the environment. Unlike your viewers, the world is not American and some more cultural sensitivity would be appreciated.

I was denied access to Yoshihashi because I am African American. The host was speaking english to the tourists ahead of me but when I approached her she acted like she did not know any english at all. She then handed me a card which said if you don't speak Japanese you can't eat there. This was just a way of not letting some people in as I know the tourists ahead of my did not speak ANY Japanese. Just a heads up if you're African and looking to check this place out.

This is a great restaurant. I went there for lunch with my girlfriend last summer. They have two set menu to choose, one is the Sukiyaki and the other is grilled beef served with fries. In my view Sukiyaki tastes better. It might be a bit costly to dine here but keep in mind this is a high class restaurant (need to take off your shoes)and the food is just AMAZING. However the waitresses dont speak English very well, so you need to talk with some gestures LOL.

The japanese take themselves too seriously. I respect their right to not have people filming, but if I were the restaurant, I'd feel honored someone is so interested in my food that they're introducing it to other people. Also, it's free advertisement. I can't help feeling there's a very serious, and even oppressive atmosphere in your japan restaurant videos. The Japanese have great food but they should lighten up.

I had to give up anything soy because it affects my thyroid medication as well as iodized salt. Never tried tofu but do make the veggies, noodles and rice. This made me realize that beef an chicken were not the only meats out there. I don't do pork but you have leaned me toward fish. Thanks for your films as I can travel with you, learn a lot and see the best places. Keep on trukin'.

That meal really did look something special. I can see myself going there. On cameras - Japan is often perfectly happy for you to take photos and videos. But there are times when it's not allowed. When is the mystery. In Kyushu at a really lovely water wheel soba restaurant, one year it was not allowed and 12 months later it was 'oh sure yeah of course; .

I want to go to Japan greatly and plan to do it after I learn some basic Japanese. I am a foodie so I plan to take videos and pictures when I eat, but it sounds like some places are against it. Would it be smarter to ask them before hand it its allowed for videos and pictures or would that seem weird.

Mark I really like your videos, but seriously am a little jealous. (0) I saw some negative comments about you gestures, but I think it shows you genuinely appreciate food. Me too, the little things weigh big my friend.
