Downtown Tokyo last night, a lot like NYC but not as international as NYC.
Last nights dinner at one of the few restaurants that serve real Kobe beef from Kobe Japan. Learned so much about beef - Kobe beef can Not be sold outside of Japan, so if a place says it is Kobe beef it really isn't. Look closer and you will see Kobe "style" beef. Which really means it is very tender and marbleized. It is good but very rich - lots of fat!!! They only kill 2,800 cows a year in Kobe, that is why it is such a specialty.
The chef said this is no Benihana when we walked in but I would say it is better - better food and very informative. They even let Jackie try it out!!!
