Today the ketchup pump at the food court was out, so I dipped my fries in honey mustard.

Are you the fucking King of France? For lunch today, I had to fish someone's paper plate out of the garbage to lick the pizza grease.

The last time I ate something, it was the salt off the cave walls at Lascaux.

[–]DarthToothbrush 77ポイント78ポイント  (11子コメント)

Look at Mr. All-Access licking his Lascaux cave salts. I have to make my own salt from drying and shaving sweaty gym clothes.

[–]d_mcc_x 53ポイント54ポイント  (10子コメント)

At least you have sweaty gym clothes, I'm lucky if I can follow runners down the street and dab the sweat that falls on the ground before it evaporates.

      You ate at JIRO'S?! I don't know how to handle the amount of jealousy I'm feeling right now. It's unlike me.

      At least I'm able to thank you for documenting the experience.

      [–]poopOnU[S] 188ポイント189ポイント  (42子コメント)

      It was Jiro's son's location.

      STILL

      I see you had some soy sauce to dip. From the documentary, I thought you were supposed to eat the sushi as it was served, no sauce necessary. Or did they make an exception for you, as a foreigner? :)

      [–]gbk 29ポイント30ポイント  (0子コメント)

      The sauce is provided but he lets you know when he had already added sauce, hinting for you not to add any.

      [–]CamGoldenGun 14ポイント15ポイント  (5子コメント)

      wasn't that Jiro... was his son's location.

      [–]strength_of_10_men 9ポイント10ポイント  (1子コメント)

      Oh, I know. But seeing that his son was so meticulously trained by his dad, I thought it would be the same way there.

      [–]CamGoldenGun 13ポイント14ポイント  (0子コメント)

      I think his son would know better than anyone that he has control issues lol.

      Considering that his son was the one who made the sushi that earned the stars...

      [–]Ryllandara5 14ポイント15ポイント  (1子コメント)

      Jiro's older son works for him still, and earned the stars. The younger son runs this place the OP went to, that the documentary showed was a replica or mirror image of the fathers restaurant iirc.

      [–]cityofcharlotte 1ポイント2ポイント  (3子コメント)

      I'm sorry, but which documentary are you referring to? Sounds like something I'd enjoy watching.

      [–]strength_of_10_men 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

      Jiro Dreams of Sushi. It's utterly fascinating. The practice and dedication that he expected not only of himself, but his sons too gives you a glimpse of his dedication to the art of sushi.

      I heard his sons place is better. More relaxing and you can drink beer and alcohol unlike his father's place.

      [–]wanna_be_fit_chick 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

      I ate there when I visited Japan 6 years ago. It might not be the original restaurant but that was some damn fine sushi.

      [–]Vesploogie 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

      How did the son treat you? I've read many stories saying that Chef Ono is a racist ass, and will even refuse people reservations if they aren't Japanese, and non-Japanese people that do eat there get treated very poorly by him.

        [–]Siantlark 54ポイント55ポイント  (0子コメント)

        The documentary even pointed it out. Some people liked his son's place better because he was less intimidating.

        [–]gbk 19ポイント20ポイント  (0子コメント)

        He is definitely more laid back and doesn't rush you but it's still a high class restaurant. Plus it's Japan so they expect respect of the food and their time

        [–]Monkeyfeng 8ポイント9ポイント  (1子コメント)

        His father's place won't even let you drink sake or beer since he believes it destroys the taste of sushi.

        [–]callipygianking 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

        He is very very kind and accomodating. His restaurant is actually a little touristy. I went and the others there were westerners and all taking photos and stuff. Its also more expensive than most of the top sushi places in Tokyo.

            The documentary made it sound like his son's place was more laid back regarding that kind of stuff. Which is actually one of the reasons some people would prefer to go there, less intimidating but similar quality sushi.

            [–]TeamCameltotem 8ポイント9ポイント  (2子コメント)

            The original Jiro is in Ginza, The place OP went to was in Roppongi

            He went to Jiro's son's sushi restaurant, who is evidently much more laid back and encouraged him to take pictures.

              It took me until the fifth time thinking, "why is there so much caviar?" before I was like, "that's no train, that's first class!"

              Jiro should have tipped me off.

              the luxury of that plane he was on was a pretty big indicator also haha. i was like is that a private jet or something?

              [–]poopOnU[S] 125ポイント126ポイント  (119子コメント)

              Not rich. Airfare was purchased using credit card points.

              [–]Yolo_Swagovich 194ポイント195ポイント  (35子コメント)

              It wasn't just the first class trip back that did it for me, but the caviar and the department store desserts also made me think. I also imagine Jiro's or that Kobe wasn't cheap. All this together make me assume you are rich.

              Edit: Nice trip, definitely did it right as far as food is concerned I'd imagine. I don't like sushi at all, but even I know Jiro from the documentary. So I bet that was cool.

              [–]saibog38 41ポイント42ポイント  (12子コメント)

              department store desserts also made me think

              Those probably weren't very expensive, basically every random cake shop in Japan (they're everywhere) serves stuff that looks like that, and it's not particularly expensive. Japan's mainstream cake game is leagues above ours (speaking as an American), it's ridiculous.

              [–]ThirdMostAverage 20ポイント21ポイント  (8子コメント)

              In NYC there are a lot of "French" style bakeries which are actually Korean. The largest one is Paris Baguette. Their cakes are incredibly airy and awesome. Green tea cake from Paris baguette might be my favorite dessert.

              [–]digitalkimchee 8ポイント9ポイント  (1子コメント)

              Los Angeles as well. Tous Les Jours is another well known Korean chain other than Paris Baguette.

                  They could have just saved a long time just for this trip. I know if I went to Japan it would be about 80% about food. So i would make sure I had plenty of money just to eat whatever I damn well pleased.

                  [–]sacman 10ポイント11ポイント  (0子コメント)

                  Exactly.

                  If my wife and I decided to vacation in Paris, for example, it would cost us many thousands of dollars in overhead. The flight, hotels, ground transportation - more or less a fixed cost. Let's say $5000 for a few days (I'm in the US).

                  Going crazy on the food would be a big priority to me, but it wouldn't seem like I'd be spending all that much extra. If I spent $1000 per week, that's an incremental expense. And it would vastly improve the memories I'd take back with me - totally worth it.

                  [–]Kingcrowing 2ポイント3ポイント  (3子コメント)

                  I probably spend 1/5th as much as OP on food and still had amazing food every day, and I wasn't holding back on my spending!

                  Same here. One of the most delicious lunches I had in Tokyo cost me 5 dollars at a worker's cafeteria that I stumbled upon.

                  My Japanese hosts told me it's mostly gaijin who eat in Roppongi because it is so damn expensive.

                        What is credit card points and how do I get them? (I am British, pardon my ignorance sir)

                        [–]trancematik 9ポイント10ポイント  (4子コメント)

                        Canadian Here. Almost all credit card companies offer some sort of incentive. Some credit cards have no fee. Sometimes credit cards charge an annual fee. You can choose these according to your annual income. There are many types of bonuses credit cards offer: cashback, points, airline loyalty etc. Some cards are even geared towards drivers, so they earn more points on gas than anything else.

                        Usually, you spend enough to pay back the fee and then some.

                        Cards that offer a cash back percentage (1%, 2%, 0.5%) depending on the items purchased, will provide a cheque with how much you earned back annually (or put it back on the card, you choose.) It's typical to see cards with 2% on gas and groceries, 1% on everything else (sometimes 3% on restaurants).

                        Other cards feature a point system, where every dollar you spend will equal 2, 3, or 6 points depending on what's purchased or the method purchasing them. Visa, for example has an affiliate with Expedia.com, so when booking through TD-Expedia with your Visa, you not only earn extra points with the money you charge to the card, but you can also book with the points you have accumulated. So basically, if you charge a lot, those points could equal a hotel stay. (Or merchandise. Or giftcards to many popular retailers.) Mind you, this would be in the case of a travel rewards credit card.

                        Before you say, "freestay!" a typical 'high end' (meaning 3, or 6 points per dollar) rewards card annual fee is $125.00. 34,000 points is about $170.00. (About a 3 star night's stay) So you should see if your spending habits make it worth it. There are cards with much lower fees, ($20 annually) but you will accumulate points much slower, meaning only 2 points per dollar spent using the card.

                        Hope that explains things. Feel free to ask questions. (Not an affiliate, I just thoroughly shop around for credit cards lol)

                        You are a good person /u/trancematik! I'm a debt collector, and deal with people's credit scores etc a daily basis and I've kind of slowly developed a natural fear of credit cards.

                        If you only use it to spend the money you already have in cash, and have committed that cash to paying for said item, there should never be a problem.

                        Don't spend what you don't have!

                        Well I have never had one myself, but to my understanding credit card companies give "bonus" rewards like air miles, cash back, etc. I assume when signing up to one you pick? Also this might just be an American thing I have no idea how other countries credit card companies do it.

                        To get enough points to pay for a muli-thousand dollar plane ride, you're going to need to spend a LOT every month, point still stands.

                        When I flew to Japan the upgrade price for the Chicago-Tokyo leg to first class was $1999 - that's on top of an already expensive flight.

                        First class is absolutely ridiculous in price and the it pretty much is used by only really rich people and businesses. It really is wasteful to spend credit card miles on them.

                        That being said, my parents have so much sky miles from exclusively using credit cards. I believe they get like 3 points for every dollar spent or 1% cashback. I think they have like over 2,000,000 miles which us $20k worth of tickets.

                            I recommend doing it right before you're about to spend a lot of money anyway, like planning for a wedding.

                            1) Save money.

                            2) Get credit card.

                            3) Use credit card to pay for big expenses.

                            4) Immediately pay off credit card with savings.

                            5) ???

                            6) PROFIT!! (Reap those sweet, sweet credit card bonus rewards.)

                            [–]Kingcrowing 6ポイント7ポイント  (1子コメント)

                            That's what I do, I use my credit card for every purchase I can, I just don't spend enough to ever get those kind of points! I just get cash back so I can use that on whatever I want.

                            That's what a friend of mine did. She waited to buy her dress until her card was doing bonus points on clothing purchases which netted her a ton of points quickly.

                            Yep, I got my credit cards when I bought my apartment. Had saved up to buy furniture and all the small everyday stuff you need (toilet paper, detergent).

                            Went all out paying everything with my credit cards.

                            Too bad we don't have a good points system in Sweden. All I got was a lousy travel kit (shampoo, toothbrush etc) for spending $7,000 in a month with my visa card.

                              It's about as /u/Yolo_Swagovich said. Some cards offer signing bonuses, others offer benchmark bonuses.

                              This case was likely "get x amount of airline miles for every y $ you spend." Those points can rack up very quickly depending on the card/how frequently you use it.

                                What are AA's fees?

                                Not all points programs are equal in what surcharges amount to. Virgin Atlantic is notorious for surcharges costing the same price as the ticket itself. Virgin points are useless when it costs $1,200 on top of the miles to cross the pond.

                                  I'm sorry, but most of us would spend the kind of miles required to upgrade to business class to and from Japan to take 3-4 flights.

                                  You've got more in the bank than we do.

                                  It's a lot of work to accumulate the miles but check out /r/churning. You would want bonus miles, this was on JAL using aadvantage miles from American Airlines cards

                                        I knew this would be the top comment. And that's ridiculous. The guy takes the time to post pictures of interesting, delicious, and discussion-provoking food and for the Nth time a post like this gets turned into a discussion of class and wealth, which then provokes an unnecessarily defensive response. No one should apologize for good taste (or for being rich for that matter). If someone posted about a delicious looking slice of pizza, no one would say "how poor are you" just because the pizza is cheap -- and likewise when someone posts about going to a some music festival or expensive concert, it doesn't generally become a class discussion of how rich the person must have been to go see Radiohead or something. But when it's a luxury good like food, this always gets brought into the discussion. And that's silly and uninformed. I'd much rather spend $300 on a dinner than a pair of concert tickets or nice shoes or whatever, and that has to do with personal preferences and nothing to do with class.

                                        This is a subreddit focused on food, with people passionate about food, and for better or worse some of the most delicious food can be very expensive -- and because it's expensive and distinctive and often rare and far-flung, it's nice to see photos of it on here because not all of us can afford it or experience it. That's why I find it counterproductive to the community to start a response to every post that includes [caviar, fancy dinner, expensive kitchen, good wine, etc.] with a "How rich are you" response? I'd much, much rather see interesting photos of high-end Tokyo sushi than some decent sandwich a dude made for lunch. Also, the comment strikes me as a classic comment that should be downvoted -- what on earth does it contribute to the discussion of the interesting food that was posted? End of rant.

                                        Well, if I ever wanted to afford a casual trip with this quality of food, it might be nice to know how OP pulls it off.

                                        To be honest I'm not the interested in the food served in an first class+ cabin, because that will never be something I experience. I enjoy seeing food that I can put on my foodie bucket list. The rest of the album is enjoyable though.

                                        Now, not everyone is going to share my opinion, but it's certainly acceptable for us to discuss the difference of opinion.

                                            I am really curious to know how hard it was to actually get into Jiro's for you? Are you an american native? I've been told you need to book months in advance and they generally don't like Americans coming to their restaurant without a Japanese friend or tour guide. I'm guessing because of the language barrier.

                                            This is actually at Jiro's son's location. The actual one Jiro is in is extremely difficult to get reservations like you said unless you have a Japanese connection.

                                            The son's location had to be reserved a month in advance.

                                              I flew ANA from Seattle to Narita in lowly coach class, and the food was still way better than any other airline food I've had (except the cheese plate on Alaska, maybe.) Plus everyone was so nice and the plane was new and super comfortable. We also paid to use the business class lounge in Narita for our 9 hour layover and it was awesome.

I worked at a mexican place that was awful with all that damn cheese....Would hate to wash those kinds of dishes at home though.

                                                  I'm planning on going to Japan in the fall but I feel I'm going to be hopelessly lost. I know enough Japanese survive but not really function in society.

                                                  You'll be fine. I knew ZERO Japanese when I went, and I survived.

                                                    They opened one of those "snow cream" places on my block in NYC. There's nothing Asian about the business, but it is PACKED WITH ASIANS all hours of the day. We are convinced there is a secret illegal pai gow den in the back or something.

                                                    I loved it. It's pretty light but always served ice cold and usually in a frosted mug.

                                                      When you are paying for finer dining you get more dishes and smaller platings. This is so you can enjoy many different flavours before being just full. A good Chef leaves you just hungry enough to make you savour everything you just ate.

                                                      I lost about 4kg in two months in Japan. Fish and rice three times per day is a great weight loss technique. and that was with drinking copious amounts of beer!

There's seriously a "this is what I ate in Japan" post every week! Every once in a long while there will be a similar post with another country but Japan pops up unceasingly.

                                                          Don't get me wrong, these are great pics and I want all of it inside me, but it's just too consistent for me not to be suspicious!
