Blessed Sunday!

Last Friday I had the pleasure of going to a hotel that had a breakfast and a dinner buffet. You see, at the moment in the Japan the government has two initiatives going on to stimulate the economy. One is called Go to travel and the other is called Go to eat and they both work hand in hand.

All across Japan at hotels you can get up to 40% off the cost and once you go to the hotel you get Go to eat tickets you can use in the same prefecture as the hotel or in a neighboring prefecture. You can even use these tickets at the convenient
store.The only catch is they have to be used within 2 days. For Go to eat you can also order food online and earn points from participating restaurants that can be used to purchase your next meal or the points can be traded for other point systems tone used in retail stories ( sounds like crypto points they used to talk about years ago ).

Lets take a look at the buffet

Now while I didn’t take pics of everything, I tried to get a few! Gotta do it for the #DashOutSunday

As you can see they had a wide variety, vegans would be happy too as there was an abundance of fruits, veggies and tofu based dishes. On occasions like this I find it very strange to eat rice. Why full yourself with all that fluff when you got the good stuff

The veggie sticks, I think I had about three of those. It was my way of getting my stomach balanced for all the meat I was about to eat and the liquor 🥃 that was to come.

The pic above is in the lobby leading to the buffet area. Not sure what they were but they did look fancy,kinda flower-ish. The dining area was spacious and easy to social distance. At first the place was pretty empty but slowly filled up. I guess many are taking advantage of the Go to travel and Go to eat campaigns. ( Breaking news, Japan just hit its highest Covid count of 3,000 people infected in a day)

The good thing about this buffet is they had a dedicated Japanese food section then a variety all around. So even if someone didn’t like Japanese food, they’d find something good amongst the sea of food.
It’s still insane to me that we are so free to do shit like this here.

Above is the third or second plate I had. I changed plates at least 4 times. My twins ate so much ice cream I was surprised they didn’t shit themselves 😂.

The sweets were small and bite size which was good because most people ( well myself ) weren’t really focusing on that. One bite of a mini cheesecake and I was good.

Here is that first pic of the post. 95% chicken. Roast chicken, grilled chicken, stew chicken, fried chicken and some other chicken and beef 😂. N🍚 rice !

I forgot to mention that I went to this place with a group of people, 17 do be exact. Kids galore and drunkards too. It was a loud night filled with every emotion you can think of. All in good fun though. The pic above was the first breakfast plate, I only had two plates for breakfast though, and a lot of coffee.

Why DashOutSundays ? Simple, just a way to bring variety to the feed once a week and a way for anyone to get involved in the Reggaejahm community. Food and music bring the people together.... liquor and weed too 😂

And with so much food it is surprising that you didn't pee yourself either 😂ha ha ha

It is a good initiative of the country to move the economy, sure as you and your group were, there were many people, and hotels and restaurants have moved much more everything, regardless of the upsurges of cases of COVID, we all want at least a space without so many limitations.
This reminds me that on one occasion I was at the Caracas Hilton Hotel as a guest at an event, and really the food disaster was great, there was not what I did not taste, anyway, that is not every day.
Great #dashoutsunday my friend @dmilliz, it opened my appetite.

Yeah, can never do this everyday But it is the season where the food will flow and the tummies will grow. We got to be careful.

I think it is a good initiative as many hotels and restaurants are feeling the pinch. And if they all closed down, there wouldn't be much to do after the Covid era.

Caracas Hilton, its amazing how Hitlon has Hotels all over the world. If I could even have one room in Hilton to call my own as an investment I'd be happy LOl😄

I was just about to ask where you put all that food and then you clarified at the end that it was for 17 people . 😂 Nice initiative in Japan though, 40% seems like a good deal. And all the food looks very elegant, and probably is as delicious.

There was so much more food. At capacity there were at least 60 people in the space bounching around to grab food many probably couldn't finsih.

I miss the all inclusive Caribbean resort vibes,( not that I went often ) man! I gotta stack some and take a real vacay, weed and rum dacharyies all day. 😄

I could definitely go for a touristy all you can eat buffet right now and sit with my plate beside the beach.

Gotta be careful with ice cream, East Asians are lactose intolerant. You got mixed kids, so I guess eating ice cream is like playing Russian roulette. What an awesome way of narrating this buffet tale.

Bless up @dmilliz.

I think the Japanese have adopted cause them love a ice-cream is a shame! After that buffet I don7t think I need an xmas dinner! LOL

Damn... Only foodporn here I see 😂
Good initiative of the Japanese government to stimulate businesses.
Here the local businesses could learn a thing or two of the model used there.

Bummer regarding the high infected cases.
Stay safe!

Yup, that is what the DashOut is about LOL.

Looks like a took that trip right on time. they just halted the "Go to Travel from Dec 28 to Jan 11" basically when everyone is on holiday and it will be reviewed on the 11th if it should be continued.

What a bummer, but really lucky you took advantage of it while you could.

Just today we also got a statement from the government, that the lockdown period will be extended by starting at 21:00h. instead of 23:00h.
Not that I would go out partying all night though, but I did want to go out for a bit and get to see my friends. The maximum people allowed in a space has also gotten down to twenty from thirty.

Anyhow, I'll just have more time for books and series I guess; trying to see the bright side in all this 😅
