Mishima-tei Restaurant - Kyoto

Mishima-tei Restaurant was identified by the guide books as an inexpensive place to sample sukiyaki; I'd hate to see what the prices are at an expensive sukiyaki restaurant. Our meals were prepared in front of us in a private room - loved it. We ordered two meals: tokutoku-sen sukiyaki and tokutoku-sen mizudaki, both were first class meats, 160-grams (0.35-lbs), at a cost of ¥9,933 each - yeah, a little steep, but worth it.



Please push to call for service... we had an electronic bell.

They gave us disposable bibs to wear! Ken was so ready to eat.


The sukiyaki dish was first; the sliced meat and vegetables are cooked, then you dip them into raw egg, and eat 'em!


Ken ready for round two...



The mizudaki dish was next; the sliced meat and vegetables are boiled in water and then you dip them into a vinegar flavored broth.



So full of good food!

Gotta love the peace sign when your in Japan!

¥9,933...a little expensive. Your just not kidding. My trusty google conversion says that is $123. (rounding up) I would have been safe...white rice and soy sauce. =)
