Musashino Ginza-ten. Ginza 8. Tai-chazuke, sashimi, ebi shinjo age. 2000 yen for lunch.
Zakuro. Location in Ginza 3, and Toranomon, across from the US Embassy. Excellent lunches, 1600-2000 yen. Best one is the 1600 wakadori kuwayaki chicken with tomato salad.
Taihei. Ryotei across the US Embassy, Saikyo-yaki set lunch, 1200 yen.
Kifune. Ginza 8 fugu ryotei. Very famous restaurant. At lunch, has selection of great lunches (including a small dessert) from 1,000 to 2,000 yen.
Noboritei. Various places. Eel restaurant, very famous.
Kanda kikukawa. Eel restaurant, in Kanda. Very old style.
Honda. Kita-Aoyama 2. Italian. Appetizer, main course, dessert, coffee/tea in a high-end setting, excellent food. 2,100 yen for lunch.
