Tobusakana in Shimokitazawa is a great little local seafood izakaya. Their mixed sashimi platter is a real bargain at just JPY1000 per person!
If you’d rather settle into your hammock for a good couple of hours, Cafe Stay Happy is your place. Its owners are a husband-and-wife hippie pair who turned their backs on corporate Japan to travel the world. The cafe is lovingly adorned in worldly trinkets and driftwood.
Amongst our book and beer cafes, RBL covers the latter stage of book-and-beer love. This is where you can curl up and really sink into your book. It’s got it all: cascading, natural light; floor-to-ceiling bookshelves; cozy chairs; and your choice of beer, wine, tea or coffee. Its quiet atmosphere is the perfect place to recharge.
