Choku Dori pretty much nailed it. If you're going with a wife-to-be, I'd avoid Shibuya, as temptation will get the best of you. Akihabaru (electric town) is perfect if you want to see components you've seen in magazines, but not in real life. I'd add you go to an all you can eat joint. Basically, there's a gas grill built into a table and you cook your own food. You're usually limited to an hour, but I always played the dumb American and could stay for 3-4 hours. Watch out for the beer. The Japanese beer isn't limited to the percentages U.S. beer is. Asahi Super Dry is the best, followed by Kirin, Saporro, and Ebisu (which I don't recommend). If you were going alone I'd have more suggestions.

Hmmmm.....(writes down Shibuya and puts it in the back pocket)........Just kidding. I used to cook for a living for about 9 years, so yeah, DEFINITELY looking forward to the cuisine. Heard all the stuff is good!

Roppongi is where all the Embassy chicks are. Australians, Swedes, you name it. I was married at the time so didn't get the chance to partake.

I never had that problem. I know I was walking down the sidewalk with my wife, and two blonde Swedish-looking girls were approaching. Supermodel types and I had to pretend I didn't notice them.

I'd suggest you never refer to me as "honey", lest I call in an air strike to take you out. Intell, something you probably know nothing about. Amazing how much information is available on the net, let alone my net. Seriously, that was some stupid **** that you said. I'll leave it at that and try to be the bigger man. Note the time. I never sleep. Good night, sleep tight.
