Places to go in Ginza

Red-brick front, a revolving door, and iced café au lait poured at your table. Nel-drip coffee in a room that still feels like old Ginza. Weekday mornings beat the queue.

A sleek udon brasserie with kabuki-themed private rooms, an English menu, and big Sanuki-style bowls. Works for a client lunch or a dinner where half the table isn't drinking.
