$40000 yen for two
The thickest beef sukiyaki I had, which taste amazingly good.
I try to book online but it’s full, so I walk in randomly at 4pm, and I got a table immediately, lucky me.
Ordered one normal and one premium beef sukiyaki.
The premium one slightly more melty, but I would say it’s pretty much the same, so it’s up to you if u want a slightly melty one.
The service was great, PLEASE AWARE there’s extra charge for the service fee and tax, which is written on the outer menu.
With two sets, it’s around $40000 yen total, it’s a bit more pricy than other.

Traditional sukiyaki restaurant, where both food and service were on point, especially given the price point.
I sat next to locals despite being a foreigner so I guess I did not experience the negatives mentioned in other comments. Waiting staff were very attentive, and food was prepared with great care right in front of diners.
