High quality Japanese restaurants in Tokyo

Looking for a classy Japanese restaurant that does set courses. The options seem so overwhelming and I usually don't go out for expensive Japanese food that I though I'd try and get some direct recommendations. Shinjuku, Shibuya, Daikanyama (south, southwest Tokyo station areas preferred). It's a bit of an occasion requiring of something traditional and sedate. Budget around 6000 yen a head. Cheers.

    Unfortunately, nowhere comes to mind in Tokyo (I will think about it more), but I know a place in Kawagoe if that's any help!? Private rooms (tatami), stone and bamboo along the side of the corridor, about 11 courses, kimono clad servers... can't remember how much it costs exactly but in and around your budget with drink included; cheaper if no alcholol. Just in case http://www.kappofukutomi.jp/

    @Saitama - Thanks for the suggestion. Duly noted (although, yea, could be a bit far to go on this occasion). To be honest, I'm really out of my "zone" on this one. If I want to spend good money on a slap up meal I tend not to go Japanese for some reason.

    One of my favourite restaurants to go to when I feel baller (or celebrating) is Bakuro Ichidai 馬喰一代. It is a yakiniku/shabushabu place where they use top quality beef from Gifu Hida. The atmosphere is great, the food is awesome (especially their bakuro salad), and I often leave satisfied and feeling that every yen was worth it. Here is the address to their Ginza branch: 〒104-0061 Tokyo, Chuo, Ginza, 2 Chome−6−5, 銀座トレシャス 11F

How well does your home country insulate homes compared to here?

One thing I struggle with is the lack of insulation in Japanese homes, with summers often feeling like you're living in a sauna and winters feeling like outside is the same temperature as inside. In saying that, my home country isn't fab with insulation either. They're still very much a nation of single paned windows and minimal stuff in the walls to regulate temperature well. Does your home country do insulation well compared to here?

Do you wear kimono? When and where?

In what environments have you worn kimono, hakama, or other traditional clothing? My only kimono experience is Heian period garb - basket hat, veil, and hakama - at a regional festival. I'm curious about daily kimono wear. Have you found a community or school that trains you in kimono wear? How much time do you dedicate to dressing?
