Gion Suetomo is also fantastic, although a bit more expensive still. Both of these restaurants are well worth it.
Tokyo:
Yakitori Toriyoshi (Akasaka Mitsuke is closest to Shinjuku)
Tempura Mikawa (Roppongi or Monzen Nakacho)
Imahan in Odakyu Daiichi life building (adjacent to Hyatt Regency Tokyo) for Sukiyaki/Shabu Shabu etc...
Kokugyu in Yoyogi is a good yakiniku restaurant that offers good value (usually around JPY 10,000 per person)
Thanks for the link to Gion Nanba. Looks fantastic, and we'll be less than 5 minutes from there. What is the sort of dress expected at this sort of place? is dressy casual OK?
