sygyzy, too long ago to remember the exact details. at the $500 mark, what’s another $100 matter for tips? come with $600 and maybe you’ll be that much happier if the bill comes out cheaper.

KK, a Japan trip is a likelihood early next year. If you can provide some high-end recommendations for sushi and beef, it would be highly appreciated. It’s good to hear they don’t charge more than $300/person – I won’t go broke

US$500 per person for a sushi meal!?
I live in Hong Kong & visit Japan 2 or 3 times per year. The top sushi restaurants in Tokyo usually charge noe more than US$250 to 300 per person for a chef menu/set. I guess that the freshness & variety of seafood in a sushi restaurant in US can’t be better than one in Tokyo.
It may be worthwhile for you to take a Japan gourmet tour. Besides sushi, there are a lot of great traditional Japanese food such as tempura, the original Waygu beef… Besides, there are a lot of very good French & Italian restaurants in Japan with chefs trained overseas in Europe.
