I had to check my notes to see that the 7 course tasting menu was actually the same, but no matter, it was still good :)

Pujan nicely invited us to come visit his restaurant Tiya in SF and the 2H+ tasting menu was definitely unique, being Indian cuisine, and quite yummy. The drinks were also very good, thank you Pujan:
I was able to find a last minute reservation in a fancy sushi restaurant in ginza, Sushi Meguri Ginza, where they spoke minimal english but enough that with my minimal japanese, we were able to make a reservation and they were willing to trust that we would show up for dinner.
Pretty indoors:
they have new menus every few weeks for sub seasons of the year

It has 3 rooms showing different views of Paris, luckily I got a table at the nicest one of the 3:
You get great views while dining:
I took the 7 course tasting menu, presentation and food were top notch:
