Tomo Izakaya in Clark Quay
This Japanese Izakaya in Clark Quay is one of those well designed eatery with sets of drink. Though it comes with price, the overall quality should pay off the cost you put in.
Hakone Parks Yoshino (Japanese Inn)
I stayed at end of September for our our corporate trip to Hakone. Located in good walking distance from Hakone Yumoto station 箱根湯本駅 of Hakone Tozan Tetsudo/Odakyu line, which is also accessible via Odakyu Romance Car, special limited express connecting between Shinjuku and Hakone.
The accommodation is very typical Japanese Onsen style hotel, with two traditional meal (dinner and breakfast) and big Onsen Bath. The bath is located with gorgeous river view! Since we were in a small group of 8 persons, we did not have the opportunity to hold a huge party, but I found this hotel does have the capacity. For those looking for "companion" or girls serving you liquor service, it may be a challenge, but nevertheless does offer the usual service. The hotel bar seems to be quite lame do I do not recommend for excitement. I would say this hotel is more geared towards families, couples.

Yosso (吉宗) in Ginza, Tokyo
Right in the outskirts of Ginza in Tokyo, you find this Kyushu style restaurant in the basement. Their speciality is Jumbo Chawanmushi (egg curd with mushroom, shrimp etc). The other dish, such as Champon (mixed noodles with some toppings) is also worth trying. 
Hokkaido on top of Karetta Shiodome Bldg
A great Izakaya with fabulous view of Tokyo bay, Tokyo Sky Tree and other grand view of the city.
Kamakura Issa An Maruyama (鎌倉一茶庵 丸山) in Marunouchi Bldg
One of the prestigious restaurant in Marunouchi Building in front of Tokyo station.
Ao Yuzu Tora (青ゆず寅) in Marunouchi Bldg
Fish (raw, grilled, cooked) restaurant in the prestigious Marunouchi Building in front of Tokyo Station. The atmosphere is great for small groups.
Hakone Soba
Soba stall along Odakyu line in Tokyo Kanagawa area. I believe they serve the best fast food type soba in Tokyo area, tying with Fuji Soba chain. 
Gantetsu Ramen
A great ramen shop in Ramen Champion of Bugis 2. The photo self explains the enormous topping and flavor of ramen.
"Doutour" Singapore
A popular coffee chain shop in Japan open its first branch in Singapore (Marina Bay Financial Centre). The first branch in Singapore. Being a relatively affordable "Starbucks" in Japan, they offer snacks such as sandwich, hotdogs or muffins in top of coffee, latte or any such drinks.
