Restaurant in Tokyo, Japan
Ginza Counter Reserve
æç³å·ç«¯ is located in Ginza's southern stretch, one of Tokyo's most concentrated dining corridors, with easy booking availability that stands out in a neighbourhood where competition is fierce. Confirmed pricing and hours are limited in current records, so direct contact with the venue is the recommended first step. For late-night dining in central Tokyo, the Ginza address is well-positioned.
æç³å·ç«¯ sits at 8-8-7 Ginza, Chuo City, Tokyo, placing it in one of the city's most concentrated dining corridors. The venue record currently holds limited confirmed data, which means this portrait draws on what is verifiable about the address and Ginza context rather than specifics that cannot be sourced. If you are an explorer researching late-night options in central Tokyo, read this as a navigation tool rather than a final booking verdict, and cross-reference directly with the venue before committing.
The Ginza 8-chome address puts æç³å·ç«¯ in the southern stretch of Ginza, a few minutes' walk from Shimbashi station and well inside the zone where Tokyo's high-density restaurant floor stacks vertically into tower buildings. Visually, this part of Ginza reads as polished commercial: ground-floor retail gives way to restaurant floors above, with the kind of compact, purposeful room layouts that Tokyo does better than almost any other city. Whether you arrive by Ginza Line (Ginza station) or JR (Shimbashi), the walk is short and well-lit, which matters when you are thinking about late-night access.

Ginza runs later than most of Tokyo's dining districts. The concentration of counter-format venues and second-seating kaiseki rooms means options exist well past 9 PM, which is the threshold where many of Tokyo's neighbourhood restaurants are already closing. If æç³å·ç«¯ follows the Ginza-area pattern, a second seating is plausible, but confirmed hours are not in the current record. Contact the venue directly to establish last-order times before planning a late arrival. For comparison, RyuGin in nearby Roppongi operates a second seating that typically starts around 8:30 PM, which sets a useful benchmark for the format category. If a confirmed late-night booking is the priority, RyuGin's published seating schedule is easier to plan around at this stage.
Booking difficulty for æç³å·ç«¯ is rated Easy. That is a meaningful signal in Tokyo's competitive fine-dining environment, where venues like Harutaka require months of advance planning and personal connections. Easy availability in Ginza typically means either a walk-in counter, same-week online reservations, or hotel concierge access without a waiting list. No booking method is confirmed in the current record, so the practical step is to check the venue's reservation channel directly. If you are staying in central Tokyo, your hotel concierge is the fastest route for a same-week table at this address. For broader planning across the city, our Tokyo hotels guide and our Tokyo bars guide can help you build an itinerary around this area.
No confirmed price range is in the database. In Ginza broadly, you should expect anything from ¥3,000 counter lunches to ¥50,000-plus omakase dinners depending on format. The Easy booking rating does suggest this is not operating at the ultra-premium end of the Ginza spectrum, where scarcity and price tend to move together. For context, L'Effervescence and Sézanne both carry ¥¥¥¥ pricing with booking windows of several weeks, which frames the higher end of the relevant comparison set. If budget is a factor, Crony offers an innovative French format at ¥¥¥¥ but with more creative flexibility in what you receive for the spend. Knowing where æç³å·ç«¯ sits in that range requires a direct check of current menus or a confirmation from the venue.
If æç³å·ç«¯ is one stop on a broader Japan itinerary, the Pearl network covers the key restaurant cities. HAJIME in Osaka, Gion Sasaki in Kyoto, akordu in Nara, Goh in Fukuoka, and 1000 in Yokohama each offer a distinct format and price point worth comparing before you finalise your sequence. For international context, Le Bernardin in New York City and Lazy Bear in San Francisco operate in a similar fine-dining register if you want a baseline from the US market. Tokyo's experiences guide and wineries guide round out the planning picture for a longer stay.
