Ginza & Tsukiji
In pricy Ginza, this compact bistro stands out for being warm, friendly and eminently reasonable. Between lunch and dinner service, stop by for coffee and a selection of cakes. After 10pm it's a cosy wine bar, with a solid selection of wine by the glass (¥800) or by the bottle.
There's also a branch on the 6th floor of Ginza Six.
