Following this thread, as I have a similar request. I'll be in Tokyo Dec 25-29, and spending Jan 1-5 in Osaka, where I hope to prevail over the holiday closings.
In Tokyo we're staying at the Hyatt Regency, so I've definitely earmarked Imahan for sukiyaki. Sounds memorable AND convenient.
We are adventurous eaters that like to eat whatever is authentic local cuisine. We're considering a lunch at Narisawa, and will be eating our fair share of sushi (there are plenty of threads to give us that information). We expect to spend at least 5,000 yen per person for dinner, and will go up to 30,000 for 1-2 meals per trip (Narisawa and Tempura Matsu in Kyoto will probably be those meals for us)
