After Satoshi's class yesterday, we met up at NU Chayamachi to try out a buffet...Imo to Daikon (ee-mow-toe-die-con--which literally means potato & radish in Japanese).
Most buffets give you a time limit and this one gives you 2 hours...wow! that was more than enough time for us.
They had many vegetable dishes and more fish than meat dishes...they even had a delicious tomato soup! which I wouldn't mind trying to re-create.
That photo was my first round...I went back a couple more times after that, trying a little each time.
The cake was really moist, tasty...I wouldn't mind trying to re-create this too.
The price of the buffet kinda made us hesitate at 2400 yen (about US$24) per person, because we usually don't eat our share. And this price doesn't include alcohol. The food is delicious, but I think this is a "special occasion" type of place.

I usually don't eat enough to warrant the price of a buffet too, but Wendell makes up for it :).
Buffets are a little spendy for me too--but a great way to occasionally splurge and fun to try new things. ;-)
yeah, sometimes Satoshi makes up for it too Jalna :)
Thanks Deb in Hawaii, it is a nice way to try different items.
Take care you two.

What an interesting restaurant. I've been to Osozai restaurant in Yokohama too, which was very popular when I visited a few years ago. I was surprised how healthy they are and how popular it was for women (mostly housewives). WE really love root vegetables don't we?
The last all-you-can-eat buffet that I had my eye on was a sushi place (20€ per person), but the restaurant stopped it and I can only imagine that the reason why is because they were losing money! I can imagine italians would stay all night until the placed closed just to get their fill of sushi.
I think you would enjoy this place Nami :)
wow 20 euros and sushi?? can understand why they stopped it, Rowena.
Take care you two.

My problem with buffets is I always fill up on the first things I see- and then later I notice the "good" stuff that I missed, haha.
I sometimes do that too K!
Take care.
