Unfailingly, the legendary Kazuo Uyeda is always behind Ginza Tender’s counter, suited in his signature cream-colored jacket, not a hair out of place. Like many old guard Tokyo bars, Ginza Tender is church-like with its somewhat dated décor and dress code requirements (men must wear ties). Uyeda’s drinks range from simple classics to colorful wonders with elaborate garnishes, so don’t be shy about asking him to go wild. (Ginza Tender, 銀座 テンダー: 中央区銀座6-5-15銀座能楽堂ビル5F)
