Serious Cheap Eats Tokyo

Posted by Ed Levine, June 18, 2007 at 10:00 AM

I've never been to Tokyo, but everyone I've talked to who has tells me that finding good, moderately priced restaurants there is not easy. So we should all be thankful for Julia Chaplin's piece on Japan's capital in yesterday's New York Times, which featured three restaurants I would definitely check out on a visit to the country.

Cha Cha Hana
1-1-1 Kabukicho, Shinjuku-ku; 81-3-5292-2933
"Nouvelle delicacies served in a restaurant in a small house at the end of a stone footpath."
Price: About $20 a person at current exchange rates.

Higashiyama Gantan
Sun Royal Higashiyama 109, 1-8-6 Higashiyama, Meguro-ku; 81-3-3791-4807 "Industrialist-minimalist bar in an apartment building serving sashimi and techan nabe (rich stew)."
Price: About $40 a person at current exchange rates.

Sushi Kanesaka
8-10-3 Ginza, Chuo-ku; 81-3-5568-4411
"Premium grade fish and perfectly textured rice in a no-frills, hard-to-find setting.
Price: About $80 a person at current exchange rates.
