Arguably the hippest district in Tokyo, Ebisu Nishi's labyrinthine
backstreets are full of surprises. Evening is the best time to visit
this area in the Shibuya ward. The fare ranges from kaiseki (tasting
menu) to tapas-style snacks served at lively standing bars called
tachinomiya.

This teahouse-cum-store is well worth the trouble of finding in

decor and offers afternoon tea all day until 10pm. Choose from a
large selection of globally sourced teas, including herb-infused
and fragrant, and pair them with delicious cakes and fruit jellies
for 1,400 yen.
