While Kelsey and Jim were visiting, Dan and I took the opportunity to explore some new restaurants in the area. We decided to try some new yakiniku restaurants.
Yakiniku translates simply to grilled meat. Yakiniku restaurants sit you at a table or booth with a grill in the middle, and you order an assortment of raw meats. Some places have tabehoudai, meaning all you can eat meat. Pair that with nomihodai, all you can drink, and it’s a night of feasting and enjoying different drinks popular in Japan. We found a delicious restaurant near the house that had tabehoudai for $40/person, and nomihodai for $10/person. They gave us an hour and a half. Needless to say, we indulged!
Some places have tables where you sit on the floor instead of a chair, with your legs crossed and barefoot
Our table grill currently grilling cow tongue. Delicious! Up next: beef!

When it’s time to go and the bill has been paid, they line your shoes up for you 🙂
