******************************
$280 can’t buy you much these days,
Although by sheer luck I found out that this Japanese New Years meal was quite a bargain plus the food was great. It is also one of the restaurant that will provide for a few more days than usual, although I still prefer it as take-away or cooked at home. But here it was home away from home.
