For our last dinner in Japan, we stayed close to our hotel and went to an izakaya in the Shiodome.
Hokkaido Shiodome 北の味紀行と地酒 北海道 汐留店 is located on the 46th floor and has stunning views of the city. While we were a party of four, we were seated facing the window so we all had views of the city.

Accessing the restaurant is a bit tricky as you need to find the elevators that goes to 46F from...

But the shrimp, the crab, the scallops, the ikura, shirako are all excellent!! And the price is not too expensive for...
