I wonder is it less tempting because there isn't someone who
would put a morsel in his mouth and then go "MMMmmm .. Oishiii! "
But I agree it was not top-notch fine dining on this trip.
I think the food in a sense was not a let-down - they brought us to
eat all the must-eats , crab, ramen, etc. You can opt for the
better quality stuff e.g. seafood, urchin, beef, etc. - just pay
your way.
Overall, the quality was of a reasonable standard.
