A lively staff and fresh food cooked to order make this a perennial favorite. Guests sit at a long counter and create meals from an assortment of fresh vegetables, seafood and meats spread out before them, which are then grilled on the spot. Pricey, but great fun. There are branches in Ginza and Roppongi. $$$$. Most major credit cards. 4-10-11 Roppongi, Minato-ku (Roppongi station on the Hibiya and Oedo lines), Tokyo.
