"I visited the bar alone on a weekday evening at 5 pm. Although it opens at 4 pm, there were no other customers. There are seven seats at the counter, and I estimated that there were about 500 bottles of liquor displayed on the back bar and counter. I ordered the following cocktails, which were luxurious: * **Gin and Tonic** → They used Silen"

"My friend made a reservation for my birthday. It's a hidden gem that seems to be frequented by wine lovers, and there are no private rooms. The staff were all male, and there were more male customers than female. It's not a yakitori restaurant, but a kushiyaki restaurant. It was surprising that there was absolutely no smoke from the charcoal gril"

"The entrance to the Ginza Line exit of Ginza Station is right in front of you as you exit the ticket gate near the basement entrance of Mitsukoshi. All three beers are ¥550! Please note that you can only drink two beers per visit! The glasses are rinsed and chilled to the same temperature as the beer before pouring! This is the best way to ens"

"A renowned establishment in Ginza, serving delicious French regional cuisine and homemade bread! Bistro Nougat, born on a backstreet in Ginza's 6th district in January 2008, will capture your heart with its over 60 varieties of regional French dishes and daily-baked homemade bread. With a wine list curated from its sister establishment, Wine Bar"

"I visited at 12:30 on a Friday after running some errands. The restaurant was full with several people waiting. I was seated at the counter after about 10 minutes. I ordered the "Recommended Lunch" for ¥1100. It included salad, borscht soup, butter rice, a main dish, and a drink (or dessert). For ¥1100 in a prime location like Ginza, I thought it w"

"It seems to be a popular establishment. Shorts are prohibited, according to a sign. The cocktails and wines are delicious, but they are on the pricey side. My companion doesn't drink alcohol, and there were only a few soft drink options. The service was good."

"Despite its casual atmosphere, the restaurant serves high-quality, innovative Japanese cuisine. The space is quite small, so reservations are essential. The food and drinks are both incredibly delicious, and I've been there twice already. I definitely plan to visit again. The quality is excellent for the price, making it a fantastic choice for thos"

"I had a wonderful experience enjoying the wines of KENZO ESTATE. You can enjoy a glass of "Asatsuyu" and "Rindo." The sommelier shared fascinating stories about the winemaker's journey and the rich natural beauty of Napa Valley, leaving me deeply impressed. "Asatsuyu" is characterized by its floral and mellow aroma, and when you take a sip, a "

"The daytime location is also amazing! The value for money and satisfaction are insane. // Right in front of the Wako Clock Tower! Excellent location! To the right is Mitsukoshi, and you can see the main street of Ginza below. The view is amazing✩ On the 7th floor of Ginza Place, above NISSAN. It's good that you can't see it from the street belo"

"A sandwich shop in Ginza. It's located within a 5-minute walk from Higashi-Ginza Station. It specializes in fillet cutlet sandwiches. They're really going for a niche market. I went there on a Saturday at around 11:30 am and there were two groups of customers ahead of me. Today I had the following: ✔︎ Premium Beef Fillet Cutlet Sandwich Half (¥1"

"Located near the Kabuki-za Theatre in Higashi-Ginza, this izakaya (Japanese pub) is dedicated to high-quality ingredients and sake. It strikes a perfect balance between a casual izakaya and a refined Japanese restaurant. While offering a more sophisticated atmosphere than a typical izakaya, it boasts exceptional cuisine at a significantly lower pri"

"The shop is located in an easy-to-find spot, just a minute's walk from Mitsukoshi. Descending the stairs and passing through a hidden door in the basement, you'll find yourself in another world. The cocktail I was served featured caramelized fruit. It was both visually appealing and delicious. The interior is dimly lit and somewhat cluttered, so i"

"It's a small shop, so it's a bit cramped and orders take a while to arrive, so you end up drinking first. It would be great if they could list items that come out quickly on the menu. The nuts in the ham and cheese platter were really delicious, so I asked if I could order them even though they weren't on the menu, and they let me! The meat takes "

"I visited this restaurant for the first time around 9 pm after making a reservation. There are few places open after seeing a Kabuki performance, so I was relieved to find this one. It seemed a bit quiet, with only about 20-30% occupancy. This is one of several restaurants run by Nakamata, a shochu distillery in Ibusuki, known for its nodoguro (bla"

"Tucked away near the Kabuki-za Theatre, this charming bistro is one of many gems in the area. The warm, homey atmosphere and the friendly service from the madame make it a delightful experience. The appetizer, a salad of endive and apple with blue cheese, was perfectly balanced and delicious. The black sea bream fillet was cooked to perfection, wit"

"A haven for beer lovers. The beer, poured with meticulous care in a historic building, is truly exceptional. It's a lively beer hall, bustling with noise, but it's all part of the charm. Today, I ordered the summer-only Yamagata pork cutlet. It was a generous portion, satisfying and delicious. Highly recommended. I forgot to take a picture, but it "

"We visited this restaurant because we wanted to have a delicious breakfast. It's located on the second floor of the Solaria Nishitetsu Hotel in Ginza 4-chome. We weren't staying at the hotel, so we checked with the front desk before heading to the restaurant. It's a half-buffet style, where you choose one main dish from three options and then help "

"I finally got to visit Biidoro Ginza, a place I've been wanting to try for a while. The atmosphere was great, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was delicious, of course, and the paella seemed to be a recreation of a traditional dish from a specific region of Spain. It was absolutely delicious. There was also a sommelier (Endo-s"

"I visited the counter seats early in the day. They had a wide selection of wines by the glass, which was great. I didn't have much time, so I only had two glasses, a sparkling wine and a seasonal white wine recommendation. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and they had smaller portions on the menu, which made it feel comfortable for solo diners"

"【Overall】The restaurant is located in the basement and isn't very spacious, but the staff was incredibly friendly and the food was delicious. I definitely plan to visit again! This time, I ordered the lunch course with dessert. There were three dessert options and it came with a drink, all for under ¥3,000. I was very satisfied. 【Accessibility】 It"

"**Title:** Oyster Bar Lunch near Higashi-Ginza ✨ Steak Black Curry 🥄 **Review:** Visited on a weekday afternoon around 1:00 PM with a few friends. There was a short wait. Oyster and 150g Steak Curry ¥2,290 It's been a while since I last visited, but the steak is delicious, the atmosphere is great, and it has a hidden gem feel. It's a place I've"

"I dined there for dinner. They paired each course with a different wine and provided a detailed explanation of both the food and wine. I enjoyed so many delicious wines and dishes that I was a little apprehensive about the bill, but I was pleasantly surprised to see that it was very reasonable. I will definitely be back! Thank you!"

"I dined at the restaurant with the most expensive course on the menu. For a high-end establishment, the portions were quite generous. They offered a tuna dish for an additional ¥1,500, which I opted for. However, by the time the main steak arrived, I was quite full and couldn't fully appreciate it at its best. Nevertheless, both the sirloin and the"

"The restaurant has only a counter, and the owner runs it alone. This time, I ordered a "hamburger, soba noodles, and a drink." When I asked for a recommendation for the hamburger, the owner said there wasn't anything in particular, so I chose the spicy chicken burger. The spicy chicken was delicious, but the bun was soft and mushy, like a store-bou"
