GAWA, if you're new, is the acronym for Grand Around the World Adventure, and I've completed day #8. Yesterday, at the Sheraton Grande Ocean Resort in Miyazaki, I had my best Japanese meal for less than $100, and that famous Miyazaki wagyu beef was included. The entrance to Toyotama is impressive, with a long, dark, walkway, not unlike La Tour d'Argent:
First came the appetizer. I am having a Kirin beer and a Cab from Australia:
Below, my whole meal, and count the dishes:
Here is a close-up of the Miyazaki sirloin, followed by a satisfying dish of fruits:
The steak was fabulous and the meal was my best Japanese dinner for under $100, including beer, wine, tax and tip. As a side order, 200 grams, less than a tenth of a pound, of Miyazaki sirloin, costs $140. All the above, including Miyazaki sirloin, with the drinks, amounted to $89.
I must be gaining a reputation here, for the hotel assigned Ritsuko Ogi, food and beverage manager, to personally serve me, She was an absolute angel, who tolerated my demeanor (remember, I'm unhappy that I was not in Miyachiku), and went to great lengths to find something like a Miyazaki rib eye (which I declined, for the cost would have almost doubled) in the building:
There is some night life in this hotel:
Tomorrow is the one of worst days to travel by train in Japan, for that will be Day 5 of the five day holiday. I must find my way to Kyoto and Suiran, Sheraton's first Japanese-themed hotel.
