Enjoy a fresh sushi breakfast at the restaurants surrounding Tokyo's historical
fish market, Tsukiji. Slurp noodles with the lunchtime workforce in Ginza,
and eat a rowdy dinner of yakitori sticks of bite-size chicken at an
izakaya bar in Tokyo's centre. Savour sake in frenetic
Roppongi or sample cocktails in west Tokyo.
Tokyo restaurant districts
Dine on the cheap with salarymen under the train tracks at
Yurakucho'sizakaya snack bars in central Tokyo. Funky Naka-Meguro in west Tokyo
has restaurants galore dishing out Indian, Italian and, of course, Japanese food. In
Nishi-Azabu and on swanky Korida Dori in Ginza,
you'll find affordable sushi bars next to sleek shabu shabu
restaurants serving wafer-thin strips of beef and vegetables cooked in a giant
bubbling hotpot.
Tokyo restaurant tips
Tokyo's restaurants tend to close around 11pm. Little English is spoken in
many Tokyo restaurants. Ask your hotel concierge to book, and check whether a
restaurant or bar has an English menu. If communication proves difficult, many Tokyo
restaurants have plastic food models that you can point at when ordering. For
midnight snacks, head to party districts Shibuya or
Roppongi's backstreets for all-night spicy ramen noodle
restaurants and sushi bars. Remember, when eating noodles in soup, it's
perfectly acceptable to slurp in Tokyo restaurants!
Tokyo bars
Experience cutting-edge, designer Tokyo at bars in Minami-Aoyama. Check out
Stair Lounge's snake-like graffiti or rub shoulders with
Tokyo's fashion set in DJ bars. Tokyo sparkles at night from
Shinjuku's high-rise bars. In Roppongi you'll
find everything from glamorous cocktail lounges to down-to-earth karaoke and
beers.
