I've done the full nighttime omakase with Chef Iwa-san a few times. And yes, the price is steep, but trust me you will find it worthwhile. :-)
If you do sushi Iwa 815 at night, then I would recommend one of the following steak places for lunch the next day.
Ginza Gomei (Akita beef lunch at Y12,000) -

RRR Otemachi (Kobe beef lunch at Y5,300) -

Both of these steak options are easy walking distance from Ginza / Tokyo station area.
Do yourself a favor, skip the conveyor belt sushi. It really isn't that good.
