Japanese restaurants and tea shops

I posted this on the INCHES list. It has some good details, so I thought I would post it here too for future reference.

There is a nice, upscale restaurant which I believe is called Kihachi on Sawmill Rd in the second strip mall south of 270,
on the east side of the road. It’s been about a decade since
I was there, but the atmosphere was very nice and authentic.
I think they might only be open for dinner.

If you don’t want to break the bank, you might try a tea house.
My wife and I like Fantasia on Bethel Rd. It’s southeast asian,
not Japanese, but they have a lot of Japanese magazines and
comic books in the lounging area. And just across the street
in Olentangy Plaza I noticed a new tea house has opened. They
are next to Microcenter and have the tatami mat seating you are
looking for. Both places will run about $3-4 for the tea (with
a huge number of selections). They would be a nice place to
take a child on a date for some one-on-one time.

There is a third tea place on High Street near the Short North area which I believe is called Zen Cha. It has a nice atmosphere (although it is not the Japanese tatami decor) and is a little
pricier. That would be a good place to meet up with a friend to share a new experience.
