Around $30 per cocktail. You're mostly paying for entertainment and presentation.

Currently in Japan, it is not expensive here at all for food. I'd say it's about 50% of the cost I pay in Canada at good restaurants.

If it is $30 per cocktail, that's not bad considering what you'd pay in high end places in big cities in Canada and America.

I was in Japan about 6 months ago. I loved that there is no tipping. I felt like I was automatically saving 18-20% on all my meals. Not to mention the quality felt so much better.

I had wagyu beef with beers, rice, and a few sides for two for like $60 CAD.

Hoping to go back early next year.

I was going to call bullshit on cocktail prices at high end restaurants being that high so i looked up Per Se in NYC.

They charge $25 for a gin and tonic using Beefeater. That is the dumbest shit I've ever heard.
