Just a media-inspired perception.

I'll have to ask some buddies that have been there.

^ Maybe the Michelin Guide should be renamed the Yokohama Guide.

+1.

Fancy names for stuff a person wouldn't normally eat (e.g. escargot) and appetizer-sized portions for the main meal... Beaten

And heavy sauces to mask the low quality of the actual food. hehe

Just like any person with a bag over their head would look good. Beaten

Just got back from 2 weeks in Japan. Took a tour since hubby had never been there. Since hubby doesn't eat sashimi (he's allergic) I didn't get to eat the more exotic dishes. It sure was cold there but tolerable. Some of the people on the tour did go to eat fugu and said it wasn't what they expected.....kind of chewy.

They said it was sliced fairly thin and had a slight crunchy/chewy texture....nothing like eating maguro or hamachi.
