Sushi-philes don't just flock here for a meal, they come for an experience. The restaurant advises diners to dress comfortably and to allot three hours for chef Masa Takayama's multicourse extravaganzas. The mood is so mellow and the food so divine that by the time the bill comes, you may be feeling too Zen to notice the $350 tab. For a real treat, splurge on a $400 carafe of rare Kikuhime sake or a $1,500 bottle of 1995 Château Margaux Bordeaux.
