食べ放題
의미: All-you-can-eat buffet or unlimited eating deal at a restaurant, typically with a set price and time limit.
A hugely popular dining format in Japan where you pay a fixed price and eat as much as you want within a time limit (usually 60-120 minutes). Common for yakiniku, sushi, shabu-shabu, and sweets. The phrase 元を取る (get your money's worth) is inseparable from 食べ放題 culture, as diners challenge themselves to eat enough to justify the cost.
