"Why Is the Price Like This?" at Famous Restaurant... Turns Out There Were Two Menus

[Anchor] Is it true that a famous restaurant in Japan has been accused of charging foreigners more for the same food?

[Reporter] Yes, on July 12, a travel YouTuber with 600,000 subscribers visited a restaurant with a 120-year history located along the Kamo River in Kyoto, Japan.

On the menu for tourists, four pieces of Wagyu sushi were priced at 2,625 yen, which is about 24,000 won in Korean currency.

Feeling that the price was too high, the YouTuber asked to see the Japanese menu. The employee asked several times, "Do you understand Japanese?" before finally bringing it out.

After comparing the two menus, the YouTuber claimed that most items were cheaper on the Japanese menu and that the expensive sushi options listed on the tourist menu were not even present on the Japanese one.

Once the video was released, criticism poured in against the restaurant, and one-star reviews began to flood its Google page.

As the controversy grew, the restaurant refuted the claims, stating, "We provide services to all customers at the same price regardless of their nationality, and we do not operate a dual pricing system."

The restaurant further stated that it is considering legal action against false reviews and malicious posts.
