インデー・ジョーンズ
I had a year-end party with my friends, and Friend A was in charge of making the arrangements. Even though I knew it would be a hassle, no one else wanted to take on the responsibility (lol). The meeting time was 7:00 PM, and I'm usually the one who arrives right on time, but this time I was the first one there. I was shown to a private room and waited by myself until the waiter came to escort someone else. The waiter said, "Here you go," and I thought, "Oh, they're here!" But to my surprise, they were actually being led to a different room (ーー;). Despite the mix-up, we all gathered and the party began! We had the Kyoto Jinbei course - a Kyoto feast course with all-you-can-drink for 2 hours, priced at 4000 yen per person (tax included). The dishes that were served included a variety of appetizers, a Kyoto Jinbei salad, yuba sashimi, Kyoto negi dashimaki, agemono tofu, tempura of shishito peppers, a rice dish for the finale, and Uji matcha warabi mochi. As you can see from the official Hot Pepper page, there was no meat included in the course. There was a small portion of marinated duck with the appetizers, but that was it. The salad was too spicy with wasabi, and the portion of yuba sashimi was tiny. The tempura dish only consisted of shishito peppers! The rice dish at the end was like a mediocre salmon mixed rice. As for the drinks, the beer was not cold, and the cocktails were weak. Overall, the quality of the ingredients was lacking, and the menu was disappointing. I didn't complain since I let someone else handle the arrangements, but personally, I would say it's acceptable to be dissatisfied. They really skimped on the ingredients! Don't underestimate your customers! In Osaka, you can get a much better meal for 4000 yen. It's frustrating that I can't give a rating lower than 1 on this platform.
