yakiniku - BBQ heaven

MJ: So you might have read Nico's blog about the list of things we want to do in Japan before we pack up and leave for our new home of Perth. At the top of the list for both of us was definitely go to a yakiniku restaurant. Yakiniku is just amazing - and anyone who like meat will certainly get an overload of it and feel completely satisfied and way too full.

It is also a fairly expensive meal out as far as it goes in Japan - reasonable yakiniku is about 5 times the price of normal meals. So because Nico and I have been saving for a while, we hadn't made it to yakiniku until now.

We found a restaurant quite nearby, prepared our stomachs by not eating all day and headed off.

Japanese BBQ is quite different from Aussie BBQ - you order the meats by cut, and it comes on a plate with about 5 or 6 pieces - all bite size. Then you put them on the BBQ in the middle of the table, cook very quickly and pop it straight into your mout. TO. DIE. FOR. I tell you.

So looking at the prices, we went for the 'All you Can Eat Course' - and boy we ate!

The first of many orders...

bite sized BBQ

'one karubi' in the middle

When the 'one karubi' is cooked, you cut it with scissors to eat it!!

It was such a good night - we almost had to roll home... If you are ever in Japan - definitely do it!

Next stop on the list - the movies.
