Ginza is where the best foods in Japan can be found.
Guidebooks tend to be overwhelmingly populated with high-end places like sushi restaurants and traditional Japanese restaurants, but there are also plenty of hole-in-the-wall places with great food for the price that are frequented by locals.
In this special featured article, we'll be introducing 6 carefully selected jewels of shops, including a long-standing bar and izakaya as well as sandwiches and shaved ice you'll be glad to wait in line for.

10:00 - Morning Coffee at Hamanoheya Parlor

This long-standing coffee shop was founded in 1966. It was closed down in 2011, but it reopened the following year due to popular demand from its fans.
Its retro atmosphere has remained unchanged, and it boasts a robust list of signature sandwiches.
Certain items, like the "Egg Sandwich" (620 yen) piled high with fluffy eggs or the "Fruit Sandwich" (620 yen) with plenty of fresh cream, are available for takeout, so you can take your order back with you to your hotel room to enjoy there.
The "Hamanoheya Blend" (400 yen) is perfect for taking your time to enjoy the morning. It's a full-bodied blend that includes Hawaiian Kona coffee, and the in-house-roasted result is a labor of love. The blend is a lighter flavor with less bitter notes, so you might find yourself asking for a refill (200 yen) before you know it.

This bar is the cream of the crop in Japan's bar scene, owned by the president of Japan's Bartender Association.
As the owner is often busy, he rarely shows up at the bar in person, but his young barstaff maintain his attitude and man the counter.
Their signature cocktail is the "Sidecar." This moderately sweet and refreshing drink is perfect for after dinner.
This is the perfect place to enjoy Japan's bar culture in an adult atmosphere with the sound of the bartender's shaker ringing out.
