Top 10 Tokyo Restaurants - 4-3 10.05.08
A fortnight night holiday in Japan can send you to the poor house if your not careful. However you don’t need to go rummaging around bins for food or restricting yourself to MOS burgers to avoid this. Fortunately some quality restaurants in Japan have some real bargains at lunch.
4. Kisoji
Kisoji in Shinjuku’s specialty is sukyaki which is cooked at your table by waitresses in Kimono. Considering the quality and service, lunchtime is an absolute bargain with prices for a big suyaki set course with a small dessert starting from about £15.
If times are too tight for that you can get this huge sashimi course which comes with tempura, miso soup, rice, dessert and a few other bits and bobs for just 1500 yen (about £7).

3. Teppanyaki Akasaka
If you like your steak with a nice view, take a trip to the 37th floor of the ANA hotel for some teppanyaki at Akasaka.
Whilst the evening prices are for Johnny Money Bags with dinner course prices starting at £70, the same courses are a fraction of the cost at lunch.
The lunchtime fillet steak course is only £20 and is absolutely delicious. For an extra £5 the chef will chuck a live prawn on the hot plate, cooking the unfortunate chap alive. This possibly takes freshness to an unnecessary level but it was very nice.
