Kimagure-ya

Ginza & Tsukiji


This sandwich counter, run out of an old barbershop, is a market-worker favourite, and also sells some of Tokyo's cheapest (and still decent) coffee (¥140). Try to get here early before the ebi-katsu sando (deep-fried prawn sandwiches; ¥200), the best choice, sell out. The shop closes early when all the sandwiches are gone.
