Style and cutting-edge decor are everything at this refurbished modern fusion restaurant. There are several areas to sit, from spacious dining areas to private bowers. Best of all is the long sushi counter where you can watch the chefs at work. The food combines Japanese staples with influences from China, Korea and Europe. Everything's good, especially the exotic sushi, although portions are small. This is cutting-edge Tokyo dining, with lavish interiors and spectacular lighting. Definitely worth getting dressed up for, even if it's only for a light meal. English menu and English-speaking staff. There are also Daidaiya branches in Shinjuku and Akasaka. Open daily for dinner. Reservations recommended. $$-$$$. Most major credit cards. Ginza Nine No. 1, Building 2F, 8-5 Ginza (Shinbashi station on JR or Ginza lines), Chuo-ku, Tokyo.
