Where to Eat in Ginza and Tsukiji-Area

If you’re interested in Japanese tea and love design, you can find an incredible hidden gem on the 5th floor of the Kabuki-za Tower in Ginza. They feature Japanese green tea and sweets housed in a shop designed by Kengo Kuma which is constructed with over 3,000 bamboo bars arranged beautifully throughout, and look out over a beautiful traditional garden in the unlikeliest of places. This is a great place to stop for a break and have something a little different, including tea ceremony, and pick up some tea as well.

One of Tokyo’s best tonkatsu (pork cutlet) shops, Ginza Bairin is also the first one in Ginza, established in 1927. Here you’ll likely find at least a few people waiting in front of you to eat, but it’s worth getting one of the only 36 seats in this tiny place. For the basics you choose from the fattier “rosu” or the leaner fillet, both breaded and fried, and served with cabbage. Other options include tonkatsu sandwiches and cutlets fried together with onions.

Kushiage is one of those Japanese foods that doesn’t get the attention it deserves. It’s simply meat, seafood, or vegetables on a skewer, carefully deep fried. Ginza Isomura serves theirs in a beautiful shop and with picture-perfect presentation. This isn’t street food as you’d expect, as the ingredients are top-notch, breaded just slightly, and not just casually thrown in the fryer. Kushiage usually isn’t cheap either, so you can give them your budget, or just go with the chef’s choice of 12 skewers for 3,500 yen.

Both Ginza and Tsukiji have the best sushi in the world, and plenty of it, but very different atmospheres. In Ginza you’ll find famous shops like Kyubey, which require reservations and can set you back at least 10,000 yen for dinner for the sushi alone. If you aren’t picky about your dining experience, but still want incredible fish, there are any number of shops around and inside the Tsukiji fish market where you can indulge. The only problem is that you may need to line up for a fair bit of time at the famous ones like Daiwa Sushi, but there are actually many in the area also worth going to like Nakaya and Ichiba Sushi.

Back when the term “ginbura” (to stroll around Ginza) was coined, the Brazilian-themed Cafe Paulista was one of those places on your list of stops. Serving Brazilian coffee that they import themselves, this isn’t your new modern barista chain, more of the classic variety of Japanese coffee shop. Founded in 1914, it’s also the oldest cafe in Japan, and still keeps quite reasonable prices considering its location on the main street. As a result you may have a queue on the weekends, but if you’re interested in traditional Japanese coffee culture this is a must.
