I booked this apparently very popular restaurant for a big party w/o actually having been there. I was expecting a Japanese-style Korean BBQ with a little more emphasis on vegetables but it turned out to be totally different and great.

Korean BBQ is very meat-centric here. Is it supposed to have a lot of vegetables? Ken

It is very meaty here, too, including this restaurant we went to but its “meat” was pork only which is very different.
The name of this restaurant is Yasai-mura Daichi. Yasai means vegetables and mura means village (daichi is the earth as in mother earth) so I thought we might be grilling more vegetables but there was none. Instead they served so many different kinds of herbs that were really good. You use the big lettuce leaf to wrap the meat and you add the herbs (and they all tasted different; more than 10 types, I’d say) and either miso paste or sesame oil based sauce. Yum.

Sounds great. But I’d need you as a guide. 🙂 Ken

Anytime. 😀 (I was dining with about 12 Germans but since I was new at this, the waiters had to show us how to eat. And here they cook for you and tell you when the meat is ready – not in other Korean BBQ restos.)
