Roppongi the home of the *Financial Sector" companies like Barclays Capital, and high paying Industry giants like Google. So there are lots of "rich salarymen" there. That is one reason for the outrageous charges, even in restaurants. There is a perception that (rich) foreigners who want to do social drinking and pick up girls go to Roppongi in the evening, and I found this partly true. Middle-Eastern and North African foreigners are stereotyped to be involved in drug dealing. My recommendation is to see the place at daytime and go to Shibuya in the evening, unless you are a stock trader and have money to burn.
