The best 2 meals of my life, were both in Japan:
Kobe Beef (IN Kobe, at that), cooked in front of you, with a set course that was:
- Striploin (NY) of Kobe Beef, along with mixed Japanese Greens, Bean Sprouts and Garlic Chips
- 2 Sauces to dip or pour over (SO GOOD)
- Lovely Miso Soup
- Various pickled vegetables
- Steamed Rice
- Western-style salad
7700 Yen (roughly $77.00 American; just move the decimal 2 places), a person. The beef literally melted in your mouth and was the most-marbled meat I had ever seen. Finished off with Orange Juice or an Iced Coffee, it was a wonderful meal, with a lot of attentive workers and just great all-around.
Fast forward to the last night in Tokyo, we had Omakase (Chef's choice menu) at a 2-Michelin Star Restaurant and 25 different plates were served to us, over a 2 hour span or so. The freshest fish I've ever eaten, the most delicious and perfect rice ever, plus the atmosphere, the chef (and his daughter lol) explaining everything and how to eat it, perfection doesn't describe how great the night was.
33000 Yen ($330 American) in total. Worth every penny.
So yeah, between food AND experience, you can't put a dollar amount on what is the best or not.
I have heard that Kobe beef is the best in the world. Sounds fantastic. Those Japanese are perfectionists.
Like the Samurai.
