Ryugin is in the area as well, which is delicious. Akasaka isn't far from Roppongi either, and you can find lots of places as well: !Buri (Izakaya). 3560-6322 Buri offers superb traditional Japanese food in small dishes at reasonable prices. The sake serving size is also smaller than usual - 120 ml instead of 180 ml - with correspondingly lower prices, allowing you to try more varieties while putting less strain on your wallet and your sobriety. The well-chosen selection numbers about thirty, most of them standouts. Budget around 4,000 yen per person. [feedback] Akasaka 3-13-12. Open 11:30am-2, 5-11pm (LO). Closed Sundays.

Here is the review I wrote more than a year ago: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/464703 There have been many restaurants recommended in Roppongi area on past threads, just use the SEARCH function on top of the Japan Board.

The volume is huge and they have "beer garden" on second floor for open air ambience until the end of summer. http://www.uoshins.com/i/nogizaka.html Uoshin Nogizaka ^ No Fish No Life 03-3405-0411 (it's hard to miss, especially after dark...the place is buzzing with jolly locals) couldn't find good photos but here's two.. they have tons of fried and grilled dishes as well. http://www.kurusukei.com/2007/04/post_0410.html Mon Jun 08 18:51:44 -0700 2009 4743456 255812 dUvUb 2 4755078 How is Uoshin Nogizaka? I've walked by on the way home a few times and it looks fun, good food?
