It’s the sort of place that requires pulling out a credit card that has a […]

This time we kept our spending, and stuffing ourselves, urges more in check and it really isn’t that bad. We had a round of iichiko, which is a barley-based spirit with a flavor similar to cold sake to start, and a half-liter flask of sake to go with dinner. We ordered one sushi roll and one tempura plate, and our waitress suggested that rather than the shabu-shabu for two, we get it for one, and if we wanted more meat, just order an extra plate of meat rather than pay for it upfront along with a second basket of veggies. Smart move – you really don’t need a double sized basket of veggies, and in the end, we didn’t need either the extra plate of meat, nor the offered noodle addition at the end. Even with price increases we got away for 260 pesos combined (and the tempura racked up 40 by itself). On the other hand, the two guys at the next table over from us, Japanese businessmen, seemed determined to out do each other, and went through two bottles of wine, plus ordered a third and took it with them, appetizers, shabu-shabu for two, plus two extra plates of meat, and the followup noodle soup. Neither of them looked to be in good shape when they left.

Oh, Nihonbashi offers up a Saturday and Sunday special – a shabu-shabu for the table with unlimited meat for a flat price per person, and it also includes dessert. Apparently a very popular family day.
