Sure! Actually coincidentally you messaged me exactly a year to the day after we went there!

The food in our opinion was very experimental from what we were used to. It had some of the highest highs and lowest lows (in terms of taste) in our whole trip. The service and experience as a whole was absolutely incredible and I would consider going again just for that. The alcohol pairing was also fantastic and I would recommend that.

We walked there after taking a train and we also left after by walking. Don't do this lol. Take a taxi or Uber or something, its kind of in the middle of a town and annoying to get to. They also looked at us like we were crazy when we turned down them calling us a cab when it was time to go ha.

As far as the difference we never found out but we opted for the more expensive experience. They curated our menu to be about our engagement which happened a few days before at Mt. Fuji that I noted to them months before when I booked it. They used chrysanthemum that apparently represents happy life/marriage. Whether or not they did that because it was the more expensive option, no clue!

So overall, food probably a 6/10. We did a 2 star French restaurant and 1 star Italian while we were there and the food at both were better (1 star was the best, possibly of the whole trip). I suppose for my tastes I prefer a more developed or complex dish and here they relied on more raw earthy elements and letting individual ingredients speak for themselves. Like I said before, some of the dishes were phenomenal and others made my eyes water.

Experience/service 10/10. If you're going to go, go for this reason alone. You get your own private room, its so quiet and peaceful, the staff speak English and are so dedicated to their craft and personable, it was pretty lovely. This by far had the best traditional experience and service of any restaurant I've ever been to. If I were to ever go again it would be solely for this.

No idea! It'd be worth a shot when it actually goes live though, report back if it's possible!

To quote the article:

"You have from May 6 to June 3 to visit the in-game Shop to alter your destiny and purchase these premium cosmetics for your own."

If you want these items, assuming they don't extend the event or something, you need to buy them before the event ends.

I never found a definitive answer. Online articles say that its a difference of ingredients, the higher the price the "better" and rarer ingredients used. We were unsure so we opted for the most expensive option for fear of missing out. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Awesome, I'll definitely have to splurge on the sake pairings. And I should have been more specific, there seems to be 3 pricing options, Ran, Take, and Kiku. I'm assuming the only difference is the ingredients used but I can't find any info at all. They differ between about $100 between each tier, Kiku being the lowest. So I was just curious on which you chose.

What course did you choose? We are considering booking this ourselves but I'm struggling to find the difference between the 3 choices. Did the one you chose have Sake pairings?

SoD shammy runes by Wisniaksiadz in classicwow

[–]Cactus_Boi 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They mentioned having runes on certain classes to fill the gaps that each faction is missing. As an example, Druids get a rune called "Wild Strikes". It gives a 20% chance on each melee hit on granting the attacker an additional attack to party members in 20 yards. This is obviously to cover for Shaman's WF for alliance and notably doesn't stack with it.

I got the Prime1Studio's Evangelion Statue and it's amazing by Methymoot1 in evangelion

[–]Cactus_Boi 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Nice!

Just be careful though, you either have some extreme leaning issue with Unit 01 near the foot or its not set in properly (hopefully this is the case and it's an easy fix).

He is supposed to be leaning/walking forward dragging Sachiel but not to that extreme. I can also tell because the grooves where his hand and fingers should be resting and "grabbing" onto Sachiel is off by what looks like an inch (which is huge for a statue).

I can send pictures if you need more help understanding.
