You probably would need to make reservations to go. It's the infamous restaurant where our good ol' friend George W. regurgitated it after having a tad bit too much sake. Make sure to order a lot because it's basically many little appetizers, some stranger than others but all delicious. Definitely have Sake! They have a variety you can choose from. The decor is very pleasant and you might recognize it from a few films (ie: Kill Bill). It isn't cheap though. It's not hard to find and it is in Roppongi, which also means there will be a lot of foreigners.

The best sushi I've had thusfar. For all those who know me well, you are quite aware that I am repulsed by fish... but I loved it here and ate everything. It's so fresh and of such great quality that it doesn't have that strong (aged) fish scent or taste. I have yet to go to the fish market but this sushi place takes the cake out of every other I've tried. I recommend you try perhaps something off of the seasonal menu (it is completely in Japanese though). This restaurant is in Akasaka so you won't see too many foreigners, but that also means their might not be anyone who understands you. I've been to this restaurant twice already and the first time a Japanese woman sitting next to me fed me tempura (really good!) so we I can say we managed quite well with Alex's limited Japanese.
