“Founded in 1905, it is one of the most legendry izakaya. They offer popular dishes from the Meiji era that are rare finds today, such as Basashi (horsemeat sashimi) and Yanagawa nabe (simmered loach, burdock, and egg in a hot pot), not to mention good varieties of sake to accompany the food.”

“Located on the ground floor of the beautiful Hotel Ryumeikan, which was founded in 1899, it has terrace seating surrounded by lush greenery in the heart of central Tokyo. During café time, the restaurant offers healthy tea, served at the tea counter by a tea expert who ensures the tea is the perfect temperature. After making a selection from the 8 choices of tea, you can choose from among 50 teacups.”
