Located in the posh part of Yurakucho among the fairy-lit trees and in the shadow of the impressive Kosusai Forum but once down in the B1 location the ambience is more main station shopping mall. Likewise, the Scot's decor has seen better days but somehow it justs adds to the friendly and homely feel. This is a place to have fun in not to write home about. So it's no surpeise that even when ordering the top level course, the steak is nowhere near the exquisite sensation of a top level teppanyaki place. But the rest of the course probably was on a par. Fish, oysters and garlic rice (including the second bowl) were all delicious. There's still no better teppanyaki experience than at Sazanka (Hotel Okura) but for those times when you don't want the accompanying okanjo experience, kicking back at Scot fits the bill just fine.
