Ooba

This bar which is located in a bar strip at the back of Ginza is familiar to those in the know. It has a reputation as a meeting place for many well-known people, with its regular clientele including company presidents, celebrities and sports stars. Here a husband and wife team serve up sashimi, side dishes, grilled items, fried fare, simmered dishes, and other traditional cuisine. Croquettes, kinpira (a salad of burdock root and carrot), tofu and other goodies also line the counter, creating a comfortable atmosphere to try home style Japanese cuisine. If you are hoping for a quiet drink, this is not the place for you as there is a lot of happy banter between the customers and with the owners. If it’s you first time, your best bet is to go with a regular customer.
