Top 4 Favorite Restaurants in Japan (other than curry) (Notes from Under the Tatami Mats–57 … My Adventures in Japan)

Food that is true to the original, yet unique. And exquisitely delicious.

If there’s one thing the Japanese know and love, it’s food. And not only sushi and ramen.    

Divine cuisine

The Japanese might have a greater appreciation of fine cuisine than even the most gastronomic of Europeans. In fact, when the esteemed French chef Paul Bocuse recently passed away, many Japanese chefs mourned what they called “the death of god.”   _{(Image source)}

Worldly delights

In any Japanese city with a population of, say, 500,000 or more, you can easily find any number of high-quality restaurants serving fine cuisine that ranks with that served in the west.

Be it French, Italian, Spanish, German, Portuguese, Mexican, or whatever, you’ll get food that is true to the original yet unique. And exquisitely delicious.   

The chefs at these types of restaurants are often foreign-trained (and incredibly well-trained), and their cuisine is generally high quality. Without a doubt, you’ll get what you pay for, and possibly a bit more.  _{(Image source)}
