EPCOT New Signature Restaurant for Japan Pavilion - Takumi-Tei

[Flynnwriter]

You just said something positive.

Who are you and what have you done with Flynnwriter?

When you give me a Japanese restaurant in a realistic Japanese setting - I’m all positive! When you give me a Creperie in a stucco box - watch out!

Looks to be a waterfall leading to a pool of water under the surface of the table - which is beautifully next-level bonkers.

Bet its a "virtual" window.

Yeah I think its a good move to offer something unique like Wagyu. But will it be the real stuff - that's the question.

Yes, it will be. I do the Hibachi Experience during the F&WF every year and we get serves real Wagyu, with the certification. They are very proud of it.

Actually looks like a pretty cool place. I am glad they aren't just making Tokyo Dining into a signature and dressing it up and charging more. That said, enough with the restaurants, attractions needed people!

I wish they would have went with an attraction instead. They've already got 3 restaurants in this pavilion. Why do they need another one?

There's $$$ in dining and people always need another meal.

I agree with you, the pavilion is all dining and shopping. A wonderful koi pond is about the only thing I find interesting here since Miyuki left.

And this surprises you?

 

[Flynnwriter]

is that a waterfall inside the restaurant or are we looking out?

The waterfall is the view of the garden outside. The high end restaurant will feature traditional soji screens like a riokan.

Epcot's Japan Showcase That Never Was

A blog about all things Disney - especially the parks - and beyond.

I would have taken any of the long rumored ones. "Godzilla", "Mt Fuji", "the Bullet Train" or "Meet the World", which is reminiscent of American Adventure.

It’s not a restaurant or an attraction scenario. Mitsukoshi, Japan’s premier retailer pays for and operates the restaurant with an agreement with Disney. We’d all like a new ride, but that’s all would be Disney’s cash.

I really like that post, but I like this one even better: Go here. There's much more art and detail.

I think this pavilion deserves a Ponyo boat ride attraction

I dont see that dress code lasting long,,,not in summers anyway. Even Monsieur Pauls hardly enforces a dress code anymore.

Dress code there is the same as any Signature restaurant. Few enforce it, I doubt it'll be any different here.

So...what happens if my ADR for this comes right after my ride on Frozen on which I ended up getting soaked?

Does anyone think the dining plan will be accepted here? As of now, the article says not accepted, but it's early days and I know that tends to change.

 

[ChrisFL]

Yeah, a dress code is fine at the resorts, but in the parks? really difficult to enforce

In May the DW and I ate at Jiko which has a dress code. Unfortunately it does not seem to be enforced another example of rules don't apply to me just the other guy.

We really enjoy Jiko. Dress code should be enforced at resort restaurants. It might be inconvenient if you’re not staying at that resort, but if you want to dress casual, go to a casual dinner. In the theme parks, a dress code is tough (beyond business casual). Tiffins is a good alternative to Jiko that doesn’t require leaving the park or as strict of a dress code.

Are there any other restaurants, other then Victoria and Albert's, that don't accept the dining plan?

I suspect that most guests not following the dress code are fine with the "other guy" not following the dress code either. I think the mindset is that "no one follows the dress codes at WDW restaurants other than V&A."
