With late-night hours that stretch until 3:30 a.m. some evenings, Ginza attracts a vibrant, mixed crowd that ranges from destination diners and twentysomethings to just-off-work chefs and students burning the midnight oil. And while the interior could use a facelift, the food remains consistently fresh and plentiful. Boiled edamame and a sampling from the massive sushi menu is a nice start before moving on to a deep-fried mini spring roll filled with shrimp, scallop and octopus. Beef tataki is sliced thin and served rare with scallions, paired with a spicy ponzu sauce for dipping. There is also a good selection of tempura and teriyaki, but we suggest the stone-grilled yellowtail with soup, salad and rice. Stir-fried thick yaki udon noodles are a must, presented with assorted vegetables.
