sounds like some ikesu restaurants fits your idea. ikesu restaurants are the ones with a water tank in the middle of the restaurant, usually ladies catch a fish for you to be cooked by a cheff. one in roppongi like momijiya, others are like teraoka in fukuoka. very visual restaurants. some americans sometimes hate this kind of places though. jun
