The premise of the article is that Japan was experiencing a period of "austerity" and "caution" with a lack of pretentiousness. I'm not sure that's accurate. On the streets of Tokyo during the lost decade, you wouldn't know that a recession was going on. Luxury goods were flying off the shelves, pretentious restaurants were all over the place and construction projects were unabated.
That restaurant sounds like an experience, though - an experience I certainly wouldn't pay for except on an expense account.

call me unsophisticated and uncultured, but i'll take a decent slice of pizza (sans le mais, svp) over toilet paper and the bloated liver of a force-fed goose or duck anyday.
