Cafe 104.5, though, is a very different type of operation -- and not just because it's a lot less starchy and a lot more affordable than the others in the group. The dinner menu is built around small dishes, many inspired by Spanish tapas, ...
Like a skilled artisan trained in a single specialized discipline that's been honed to perfection, Botan has only ever focused on one dish: chicken sukiyaki. The recipe never changes and nor does the way it's cooked, over that small charcoal brazier sitting right at ...
Review excerpt: Located on the seventh floor of a swish, modern building looking out over the Ginza rooftops, Imari Roaji is the big-city branch of an equally sleek, contemporary restaurant based in Imari, Saga Prefecture, in the far west of Japan.
Pound is a highly acclaimed Kyoto steakhouse popular for its exclusive Japanese aged beef. The restaurant opened its first branch in Tokyo in the heart of Ginza. The restaurant offers aged wagyu that is bred especially for its restaurants on the Hiramatsu Ranch in Kagoshima ...
