The restaurant floors at Shinjuku Takashimaya turned out to be a perfect solution for group dining - especially when you want something nicer than a food court but don't want to commit to a single cuisine. The variety is impressive, from high-end sushi to French bistros, and even some solid Italian options.

What makes it special for dining is how they've organized the floors - casual spots on one level, fancier restaurants on another. Most places have private rooms available if you want a quieter experience. The quality is exactly what you'd expect from a high-end department store: impeccable service and consistently good food.
