Vowz Bar

Thirteenth-floor Ginza Six bar from bartender Shuzo Nagumo specializing in 'teatails' — cocktails built on house-blend tea-infused spirits like hojicha bourbon, sencha gin, and oolong rum. Six counter seats; open from 1pm with non-alcoholic options and Japanese sweets.

Charcoal-grilled offal izakaya a short walk from Shinjuku's west exit, offering carefully prepared cuts like skirt steak, small intestine, and rare white omasum sashimi at affordable prices.

Quiet Ebisu cocktail bar tucked down a lantern-lit lane, known for fresh-fruit cocktails, seasonal fruit wines, and a deep Japanese whisky selection.

Ebisu restaurant entirely devoted to tofu, with a connected factory producing more than ten types daily from premium Miyagi Shirome soybeans. Functions as a diner by day and an izakaya at night; the tofu meshi rice bowl is the signature.
