If you've never had shabushabu/sukiyaki, there's a good place within the Yaechika complex (accessible from the Tokyo Station Yaesu Underground Central exit) called Tajimaya. Lunch starts at 900 yen with a plate of meat and all you can eat vegetables, and for a few hundred yen more you can get all you can eat meat as well.
Also within the Yaechika complex is a branch of the New York Tribecca restaurant Bubby's, which has the second best American cooking I've had in Japan (the first being the New York Grill in the Park Hyatt)
This is wonderful... I am totally stunned there is a Bubby's in Japan!
We stayed across the street from it in NY a few years back and ate there at least once a day as it was totall kid friendly and great/convenient food.
I'm hoping to get to Tokyo in Aug/Sept this year and if I have time would look it up just for the complete novelty of having a piece of pie in Japan.
Thanks!
