Roppongi Wazan Tokyo, Japan

Located in Tokyo's high-energy Roppongi district, Roppongi Wazan offers a small menu of highly refined Japanese cuisine in an equally elegant setting. A la carte menus are available for both lunch and dinner, but it's the set menus that are the star here, featuring such intricate delights as abalone and caviar, fugu (blowfish), and hamo (sea eel) served seven ways. Presented with all the attention to detail one would expect of traditional kaiseki ryori, the food is as much an experience here as the setting, which combines a simple Japanese aesthetic in the dining room and on the patio, with a modern twist in areas like the cigar bar, where chandeliers and leather lounges are the focus of the decor. The cigar bar is open until 23:00.
