/In Japan as in other countries where the cuisine is embedded in the culture. You can go to a celebratory dinner for thousands of dollars where you have to reserve a year in advance. But the idea that also a simple meal is well made I find it very moving. You never feel cheated or ripped off. If you pay 10 bucks for a meal is amazing, if you pay 20 bucks is more amazing and if you pay 100 bucks is unforgettable and mind-changing.
