This past Saturday, I (Anna) went to Japan with Matt and my parents. Of course it was only the Japan in Epcot, but it was really fun (and delicious!). A while ago I made reservations at Teppan Edo which is their Hibachi restaurant for lunch. Since it is fall now, and football season, it gets hard to make reservations and find a time to go to Disney around our teams’ football schedules, but we managed.
We got to the park a little early, so we went into the many Japanese stores to look around. We've been in there several times, so I had already eyed the oyster pearl station. After looking at the different oysters for a little while my incredibly sweet boyfriend offered to buy me one. I let him pick the oyster (I have horrible luck when it comes to this sort of stuff) and there turned out to be a beautiful pearl inside. As the ladies at the desk open up the oyster they teach you to count down from three in Japanese and are very enthusiastic. It makes the whole experience exciting. After getting the pearl they have a selection of earing, ring, and necklace settings you can choose from to put your pearl in. I picked a ring setting for mine. When Matt was done paying for my new ring it was time to go upstairs to lunch.
Teppan Edo is like any other Hibachi grill. You will normally sit with another family and have a Japanese cook prepare your meal right in front of you. Our chef’s name was Kaoki. He was very funny and an excellent cook. The best part though was that he was an Auburn Tiger fan, which also happens to be where I graduated from college. The food was excellent and the atmosphere was awesome. My dad and Matt ordered the steak. My mom got the chicken and I got the scallops. Everything was delicious and I would definitely go there again.
