Open since the 1970s and moving from Roppongi to Akasaka in 2007, this music club features jazz (with an emphasis on 1940s swing performed by Japanese musicians), as well as other types of music, including Hawaiian folk 2 to 3 nights a week. It attracts an older, knowledgeable, and appreciative crowd. The official cover price is ¥3,600 ($30/£15), but management will let you in for most shows for ¥1,500 ($12/£6.30) if you show them this guide. Open Monday to Saturday 6pm to midnight (music begins at 7pm).
