2.Argawa , Tokyo – $368
Aragawa is certainly not known for its decor.
As a restaurant located in Tokyo, some might even claim that this restaurant is humble: there’s certainly no grand entrance with valet parking.
Actually, there is no entrance. I would claim, however, that this only increases the restaurant’s pretense.
There is no menu. The waiter will simply recite the chef’s selections for the day and you would be ask to choose two seafood plates from five that are available.
Like an exclusive club, the restaurant’s location suggests that only a few are lucky enough to know about what Forbes magazine called in 2006 the most expensive restaurant in the world. But prices aside, this basement retreat is known for something else: the fattiest, juiciest, and most tender Kobe beef in the world.
Aragawa’s steak will make a vegetarian renounce his beliefs.
