Within Japan Tokyo is probably the least "food conscious" city by reputation. If you want to go to a real foodie area, split your trip in two and go to Osaka/Kyoto/Kobe (all very close to each other). Tokyo has good food if you want to pay an arm and a leg. In Osaka you can get a fantastic meal at a fantastic price, and Kobe is a very international city with terrific restaurants with chefs from everywhere from India to Brazil.
