Ginza Ranzu — Restaurant in Tokyo

A great classic Japanese coffee shop that permits smoking throughout. Ranzu offers a selection of light dishes, but it's not a place for a full meal. They are serious about their coffee making and offer a good variety of drinks. It is an interesting place for people watching, since you get a mix of many strata of Japanese society, including Ginza high-end club hostesses and underworld characters. Rarely have I seen another Westerner there. The permissive smoking rule keeps them out. Like any Japanese establishment, Ranzu is not suitable for loud conversation or socially clumsy behavior. In the summer months, note that the coolest seats are near the entrance. The toilet is across from the back door at the very rear of the shop. Major credit...

Came here for the second time. An authentic coffee house with history. Very nice ambience with good jazz music. Staff is attentive and nice. They have both table seating and counter seating. Recommend to take the counter seating if you go alone where you can interact with the barrister and watch the coffee making.

Very chill place however it’s a place where smoking is allowed. So be prepared the cigarette smell. Recommend to come early in the morning otherwise this place will get crowded...

Amazing cafe ~kissaten style!! We were on the hunt with my friend and headed to this place on this hot summer day. I ordered a honey lemon kakigouri which was really flavorful. The syrup was added in layers so that when I dug to the middle it wasn't all plain! Perfect refreshing dessert! This is a great spot to relax and have a nice afternoon break. It is a little pricey but great quality...
