This is the izakaya we went to last night which is on the 52nd floor of the Sumitomo building which made me think of Die Hard for some reason...
Anyway, the food was excellent although the service seemed to be trading a little on the view.
We had Japanese omelette, slow cooked pork belly, rare beef with ponzu dipping sauce, salad of vegetable sticks, and fried sesame chicken followed by sesame pudding with caramel sauce (aka sesame rice mould with evaporated milk) which was all delicious. We even had a Chilean white wine which was a nice change after the ubiquitous beer.
Reservations are necessary to get a seat with a view. Alas we were up at the bar and could only see it in the reflection.
It's worth a visit, provided you phone ahead: Nishi-Shinjuku 2-6-1, Shinjuku Sumitomo Bldg. 52F, tel: 3342 5671.
