627009 Thu Jun 11 10:29:09 -0700 2009 7 45 Japan 0 4763574 I will be heading to Tokyo soon, and will be taking out a group of around 6 business clients. I am looking for a restaurant that has a nice atmosphere, classy decor, good japanese food, (and heres the tough part) for around $50-75 per person, not including drinks. If anyone can recommend somewhere in central Tokyo, that will both impress my clients and note break bank, I'd really appreciate it! This is not supposed to be a formal dinner, just a nice evening with out with clients, but I would still like to impress them, and not lose face by taking them somewhere too casual and cheap. Thanks so much in advance for your suggestions. Thu Jun 11 10:29:09 -0700 2009 1082593 simhai 1 4765271 Japanese clients? Have you considered an type of restaurant? Japanese izakaya?

Clients are Chinese, and probably not too familiar with Japanese cuisine either. To be honest, just looking for a nice looking place, good food, and not break the bank. Thanks.

It's a more casual atmosphere. I think Robb's suggestions, as usual, are pretty spot-on.

There is a private room, but the main dining room is nice. Mon Jun 15 16:52:51 -0700 2009 4763574 11720 Yukari
