Miting Wei Zi Slow is a Japanese food chain brand from Shanghai, which currently has branches in Shanghai, Beijing, Wuxi, Chongqing, Osaka, Japan and other places. The name of the restaurant comes from the combination of the English word "Meeting" and the Japanese word "Taste", where "Taste" means "one's best dish". The Chongqing store opened in early 2018.
After Miting Wei settled in Chongqing, it was often compared by Japanese food lovers with Daotian and Tanijima. All three belong to the mid-to-high-end Japanese restaurant, Daotian has the oldest seniority, Tanijima has the best reputation, and Yutei is often evaluated as low cost performance. Miting Wei also pays attention to freshness in terms of ingredients, and spares no expense to air transport ingredients, and the aquarium can be seen in the store, not only for ornamental use, but also for the seafood in it can be killed to order. As a high-budget restaurant with no upper limit, Miting Wei has live peony shrimp, live sea urchin, live eel, freshly caught king crab, etc. Of course, as a promotion, the restaurant also launched a preferential set meal of about 200 yuan per person, but the ingredients and quality are often unsatisfactory.
The staff of the Chongqing restaurant of Miting Wei Slow Cooking lacked professional knowledge, which was easy to mislead diners. For example, the restaurant claims that its beef is Kobe beef. Diners should not take this too seriously, because considering that Japan was once a mad cow disease epidemic area, China began to ban the import of Japanese beef into the country as early as 2002, and in Chinese mainland, almost all the "Wagyu" you eat is from the United States or Australia. Japanese Wagyu cattle introduced and bred in the United States and Australia are often referred to as "Wagyu", and the price is relatively low compared to Japanese Wagyu.
The restaurant decoration of Yonetei Cuisine is very similar to that of Tanijima's main store, with an all-wooden design, tatami mats, shoes to take off when entering the restaurant, and a sunken design in the private room for easy stamping. More thoughtfully, Yatei also has a large round table in Chinese style to satisfy diners who are not used to eating at a Japanese-style table.
