Kaiseki range around 20-30k Yen prices per person. 30K yen to be safe.

In Asakusa, i had this sugar bread thing which was really good.
It is supposedly quite famous but i just stumbled upon it.

Definitely try it if u get the chance.
Quite yummy!

I see the melon bun inside got no filling...I maybe may not like it...I think I go try the famous pudding in asakusa n the tempura with rice.

Interesting. Their lunch set is at half price cheaper. I suppose they are not based on the same selection?

Tempura Daikokuya
Daiwa Sushi
Tsukiji Itadori Uogashi-Senryo

[paul02]

For Tripadvisor, For food rating, i don't really trust much (Since it is written by Foreigners who don't get to eat Japanese food often -> To them Tsukiji is very good sushi)

I use Tabelog ranking,

http://tabelog.com/rank/

But need to know a bit of Japanese. This one is even better than the Michelin Red Book in Japan.

What would you recommend for the best original ramen in Japan then?

May be going over and can only think of Ippudo's original outlet.

thought of trying Tempura Daikokuya but starting to see more and more bad reviews about it. any other recommended tempura around shinjuku?

 

[GoToSea]

Tried Ichiran at dotonbori, really good and cheap. 790 yen is like less than 10 sgd..

I tried Sukiya and really confuse where to put the raw egg, in the end I put the egg into the miso soup like ban mian.

1)Ichiran is at everywhere; it's a merely stopover for me bah..

2)Raw egg mix with rice, that is how the locals do that.

Is Daikokuya the one at Asakusa? If so then its strange. I tend to find restaurants depending on the smell coming from their shops, and from the aroma there I thought it will taste nice, just that I cant bear to spend that amount for 1 meal that is not buffet.

This is one of my favourite tempura restaurants even though its just a chain store. Its called Ginza Hageten and found all over Japan.

They serve the tempura one by one immediately after its fried. Lunch is always more worth it than dinner.

Yes asakusa! I see mixed reviews. I know taiwanese likes it alot but heard is only for tourist not so much the locals. Thus I guess I will see if the q is long on that day to decides if wanna eat.
