New Years Lunch 2007

Shinachan and I have a favorite restaurant we like to visit for special occasions--its the New York Grill Restaurant (http://tokyo.park.hyatt.com/hyatt/hotels/entertainment/restaurants/index.jsp) in the Park Hyatt Hotel in Shinjuku, Tokyo. Those of you who have seen the movie Lost in Translation, with comedian Bill Murray, will remember this restaurant as the bar used in the filming of the movie (http://www.lost-in-translation.com/). Murray plays a Hollywood action hero from the 70's who is now filming commercials in Japan to supplement his income. He has jet lag, and ends up meeting Scarlett Johansson in the bar (our restaurant) and developing a friendship with her. If you havent seen the movie, please do. It gives some interesting insights into Japan

Anyway, we like the lunch buffet. Its relatively reasonably priced, and comes with champagne, an all you can eat salad bar (with the best vinaigrette dressing Ive ever had), a great entree, and an all you can eat dessert bar. Delicious!! We spent about 2 1/2 hours there today, and practically had to be wheeled out. Satisfied, and very full!! Please click on the following URL to see a video of lunch...!
