Are you doing the Mandarin this time around ? Didn't you cop/rent a spot in Tokyo ? I've been off SF for a while, so my memory is a bit foggy.

Really want to try that Chinese spot you wrote about before...really interested.

yeah I am moving there this time, living in Azabu. Last time I went I tried the Conrad instead, better rate. Wasn't bad, the in-house Japanese restaurant and bonus services were good.

I bought this year's Michelin guide recently, there's a fuckton of restuarants in Minato, so if you're there to eat (which you probably should, since the yen is gonna preclude any jawn buying) you should stay around Roppongi somewhere. Every other restaurant in the Michelin guide is somewhere within close walking distance to Roppongi Hills, so it's a decent base of operations.
The yen is so strong though, I'd forget about Japan and just go to Europe this year, come back to Japan next year if the yen has reached anywhere near 90/$1.

Not being particularly inclined with Tokyo Real Estate...why Azabu ?

Thanks. I'm not planning to hit Tokyo until Sept/Oct of 2012. Wherever I go, I'm in for the food -- street, michelin rated, modern casual, whatever, so thanks for the tip.

Good Luck on the move.

Azabu wasn't my choice, it was my gf's choice, but it is admittedly a nice place if there were nice places to live in Tokyo. I am looking up what's around my place and there's a napoli pizza joint with pizzas for 1000Y and bottled beers for 200Y, that will be enough to make me happy a few times a week.
