President Barack Obama grabbed dinner at one of the world's most exclusive restaurants while visiting Tokyo on Wednesday.

Sukiyabashi Jiro has no set menu and meals typically last 15 to 20 minutes - but 20 pieces of sushi will set you back 30,000 Japanese yen (about $300).

And that's if you're lucky enough to land one of only ten seats in the cozy basement venue.

Don't fret, Obama can afford it. His plane ticket there and accommodations were FREE.

Yes, I saw it on PBS a couple of months ago. It was an outstanding documentary. The owner of the restaurant is like a Zen master of sushi. The restaurant is so small the patrons have to use the subway restrooms (which are probably immaculate compared to American public restrooms).

Excellent program

Obama is a celebrity over there. I'm surprised he even got charged for the meal.

Its gotta be the service. Preparing raw fish sounds pretty easy.
