Le Café Doutor Ginza

The most impressive branch of the cheap ’n’ cheerful chain that proliferated across Tokyo during the recession-hit 1990s is still conspicuously affordable despite its location on one of the city’s most famous intersections - the Ginza Yon-chome crossing. Streetside tables or the highly prized upstairs window seats provide perfect views of the bustling Ginza crowds outside. The coffee is Doutor’s standard fare, but the sandwiches are a slight step upmarket.
