GINZA SIX

On the Grid : Ginza Six

"Whenever we enter Ginze Six we can almost sense the smell of Dom Pérignon. That's because this is a grown-up’s luxury playground located in the most premium shopping district in Japan. Ginza Six is a new giant shopping complex housing 241 domestic and international brands. But that’s just the start. Its architecture, interior, and art installations have all been designed by biggest superstar creatives of our time. Yoshio Taniguchi (architect for MoMA, New York) and Kusama Yayoi (Naoshima Pumpkin art installation) to name a few. You’ll probably feel like you want to come back here with more cash. Good motivation, right?" - Mamimu

Ginza Hisagi - Review - Ginza - Tokyo - The Infatuation

"Ginza Hisagi serves a black curry that’s rarer than the classic brown version you typically see in Japan. Not only does this one come with seared steak and massive oysters, but the restaurant goes through a meticulous process to get that color. Beef is slowly cooked in red wine for six hours, creating a demi-glace base. Loads of caramelized onions are then added for natural sweetness and depth, followed by a blend of spices for that bold curry taste. The A5 wagyu, so tender you barely have to chew, and hand-sized oysters take the decadence to the next level. They also serve supersized Rockefeller oysters and several tasting courses highlighting other oyster dishes that are worth exploring. Reservations for dinner are essential, but you might have luck walking in for lunch. photo credit: Julio Koshiishi photo credit: Julio Koshiishi photo credit: Julio Koshiishi Pause Unmute" - Kiera Wright-Ruiz

A Local Reveals Where to Eat in Tokyo

"The newest department-store food basement offers an especially impressive selection of sweets, including fresh fruit wrapped in delicate mochi, alongside casual counters where you can sip sake, whisky, or wine while sampling confections." - Yukari Sakamoto

"For a one-stop shopping fix, head to Ginza Six, a mall with more than 200 high-end stores for fashion, cosmetics, food, and art. The largest rooftop garden in Ginza has seating for a bento lunch or for a short rest in the heart of the city. The Tsutaya bookstore has an art exhibition space, and there is a traditional Noh theater. The underground food floor includes Enoteca wine bar, a Philippe Conticini dessert bar, and Kurogi Chacha for Kyoto Uji tea and sweets. Restaurant highlights include Yamanoue for tempura, Tsukiji Suzutomi for sushi, and Yakiniku Sansui for marbled Wagyu beef grilled at your table."
