$12 Buffet in a Tiny Japanese Town (Incredible!)

$12 Buffet in a Tiny Japanese Town (Incredible!)

Is this the best value meal in Japan? 🇯🇵 I found an incredible $12 Buffet (1980 JPY) in the tiny town of Utazu! 🥩🍜

Rainy weather in Shikoku cancelled my original filming plans, but it led me to a hidden culinary gem at the Hotel Anesis Seto-Ohashi. This exclusive hotel buffet is only available to guests, and for just 1980 JPY, the quality is mind-blowing. In this video, I’m ranking the best dishes from this rural Japanese spread, including their famous medium-rare roast beef and a DIY Sanuki Udon bar. If you’re looking for budget travel tips or authentic Japanese food tours off the beaten path, this is a must-watch!

What’s on the menu tonight:

Signature Roast Beef: Perfectly cooked, tender slices of medium-rare beef.

Unlimited Sanuki Udon: A full station with local noodles and endless toppings.

Crispy Tempura & Chili Shrimp: Freshly prepared hot dishes.

Fresh Green Salad: Featuring unique, peppery sprouts and local greens.
