Every review in Tokyo

• Andaz Tokyo Toranomon Hills, By Hyatt Steep Pick
  Toranomon, Minato · Steep Index 8.9/10

  The rooftop bar on the 51st floor of Toranomon Hills Mori Tower where the Tokyo skyline does the heavy work and a genuinely imaginative cocktail program does not let it do all of it alone.

• wine bar juni Steep Pick
  Meguro · Steep Index 8.8/10

  California-born chef Katy Cole opened this eight-seat Meguro natural wine bar and hand-threw every ceramic piece in it. Around sixty bottles, mostly Savoie and Rheinhessen, ten by the glass, in a room that looks like a Georgia O'Keeffe painting had good taste in wine.

• Nadoya no Katte Steep Pick
  Nishihara, Shibuya · Steep Index 8.8/10

  In a small Nishihara space with garden seating and communal tables inside, Nadoya no Katte runs one of Tokyo's most considered coffee experiences. You choose the bean. The barista explains everything. Then you wait, and you taste.

• The Bvlgari Lounge Steep Pick
  Yaesu, Chuo · Steep Index 8.8/10

  A 40th-floor afternoon tea lounge inside Bvlgari Hotel Tokyo, built around Italian-inspired sweets, scrumptious scones, and a genuinely exceptional tea list.

• The Bvlgari Bar Steep Pick
  Yaesu, Chuo · Steep Index 8.8/10

  A 45th-floor rooftop bar inside Bvlgari Hotel Tokyo, all panoramic skyline views, minimalist Italian design, and a cocktail programme sharp enough to match the address.

• Tokyo Confidential Steep Pick
  Azabujuban, Minato · Steep Index 8.8/10

  Six floors above Azabujuban with a secret 7th-floor rooftop that most of Tokyo has not found yet. The cocktails are creative enough that the view almost becomes secondary.

• Bloom.by Swell Coffee Roasters Steep Pick
  Himonya, Meguro · Steep Index 8.7/10

  The tucked-away Himonya cafe with a park view and a river beyond it. Come for the crepe and the latte art, stay because the wifi is fast and nobody is going to rush you.

• KOFFEE MAMEYA Kakeru Steep Pick
  Hirano · Steep Index 8.7/10

  The only cafe in Tokyo that asks you to make a reservation, and makes you feel, without question, that it was the right call.

• MATCHA PASSPORT Steep Pick
  Shimokitazawa, Setagaya · Steep Index 8.7/10

  A dedicated matcha specialty bar tucked on the 2nd floor of a Shimokitazawa building, easy to walk past. Staff talk you through single-origin matcha varieties like the Tanuki from Wazuka, Kyoto, and the pours are genuinely excellent.

• SCHOOL BUS COFFEE STOP NAKAMEGURO Steep Pick
  Aobadai, Meguro · Steep Index 8.7/10

  An avant-garde, design-forward cafe in upscale Nakameguro, serious about both its interior and its espresso tonic, extensive enough for a full brunch and equally suited to working alone.

• Walnuts Coffee Steep Pick
  Koenji, Suginami · Steep Index 8.7/10

  A hidden alley cafe in Koenji where the owner handcrafts the ceramics, roasts lighter than most, and stays open until midnight on Saturdays.

• One by One Coffee Tokyo Steep Pick
  Ebisu, Shibuya · Steep Index 8.7/10

  A five-seat counter tucked into residential Ebisu, built entirely around rare Geisha coffee poured one cup at a time.
