Aragawa in Tokyo was the first steakhouse in Tokyo's Shinbashi distric, and hasn’t failed to satisfy the taste buds of customers. Dine in an authentic Japanese setting with dark wood paneling and a chandelier, which adds a European touch. The hand-fed Kobe beef is supplied from a nearby farm, so you can rest assured of the freshness. The Sumiyaki (charcoal-broiled steak) served with plain mustard and pepper is a must-have. In Aragawa Dinner for one: $368 for just for a steak. Be formally dressed, and come fully loaded with credit cards or cash!
For the second year in a row based on Forbes magazine, the world's most expensive restaurant is Aragawa. Like many of Japan's high-end, hidden restaurants, it doesn't have a Web site or grandiose decor. But reservations are excruciatingly hard to come by, and the tab reliably starts at $370--per person. But the platters of Wagyu beef (what we call Kobe), which is sourced from only one local farm and served simply with pepper and mustard, make the expense worthwhile.
