For an old, classically gorgeous Japanese setting with good food, and solid sake visit Sasashu in Ikebukuro. While not cheap, it is not prohibitively pricey, and while not stuffy, it is perhaps just slightly staid in feel. But all in all, Sasashu's a wonderful experience, in victuals, libation and ambience. The private rooms upstairs likely lose out in setting to the more popular open area downstairs, with its small open fire pits.
