🤮 1/5 - Worst michelin rated restaurant during 2 wk trip

We visited this restaurant in December 2016, and it was the last one during our 2 week stay in Tokyo. Having lived in Japan and new visiting there for the nth time, I have a pretty good idea of what constitutes a quality meal here.
This was the final of the 7 michelin rated restaurants during our trip, and it having been rated 3 stars, my expectations were high.
It was a completely lackluster 10-course meal, right from the start.
The first dish was a cold appetizer with gobo, dried scallop, etc. prepared ahead of time. Underwhelming without any impact.
Second was a quad combo of ikura (no skill), plain chawanmushi (nothing special), some other kind of egg, and crab meat removed from the shell. I'm guessing the crab meat is supposed to wow the guest but honestly how complex can steamed crab meat be? The crab was dull, cold, and not as sweet as Alaskan king crab I get back home.
Third, was some kind of starchy potato in a soup. Very mushy texture and again, not particularly flavourful or interesting. The worst part was this dish fills you up so you can't enjoy the main as much.
Fourth, was the live Kyoto crab chopped into pieces (literally) in front of us, sometimes the internal juices/water splashing onto us - unprofessional. The chef grilled it without any seasoning, lacking any interesting transformation of flavours. All you taste is crab, which gets boring after 2-3 pieces max.
Fifth, plain buckwheat noodles and grated daikon in dashi. Boring and uninspiring
Sixth, an extremely heavy dish of the crab brain/guts with rice. On paper this should be full of flavour, but the texture was way too mushy and bitter. Not good at all.
Seventh, very boring half a mushroom and a root vegetable - grilled, plain, and salty.
Eight, daikon and green onion... uh okay.
Ninth, rice with chestnut, pickles, miso soup. By this time I already figured this place was a joke. The chestnut made the rice extremely dry in the mouth.
Tenth, and last dish. A scoop of vanilla ice cream, a strawberry cut in half, and some crushed coffee beans on top. Absolute rip off.
The entire meal cost ¥85,000 for two people, with ONE 650ml Asahi black beer, making this the most expensive and ludicrous meal in my entire life. I'd also like to point out that the ¥42,500 per person is for HALF a Kyoto crab.
My advice to tripadvisor users and visitors to Japan looking for an amazing meal - stick to meals under ¥15,000 and stay the hell away from Michelin rated restaurants. You can find great meals by looking the photos and the creativity involved in each dish, while ignoring people that claim "was the best meal of my life" etc. etc.
