Ravenous in Roppongi?

You've walked the Meiji Jingu gardens, shopped the Prada Building, lunched in Ginza, gazed at the fashionable youth in Harajuku and gone gaga in Shibuya...

Now, it's time for the ultimate Japanese dive, inspired by none other than Japanese film legend, Toshiro Mifune.  Having starred in sixteen of Akira Kurosawa's most memorable films, Mifune upheld a single philosophy throughout his extensively cool career, "simplicity, honor and bravery." This sentiment is spiritedly maintained by his family at their fantastic restaurant in Tokyo, MIFUNE.  Kushiyaki is the specialty of the restaurant; a true testament to Japanese traditionalism.

Mifune is simple and amazing.  The vibe is cool and clam.  Old school Japanese decor.  Shoes removed.  Sake ordered.  Pork belly kushiyaki is to die for.  Service is impeccable.  Food is dreamy, dreamy, dreamy.
