Review: 

How can I describe this place?

Directions: 
The Golden Gai is a maze of streets, but Shiramuren is easy to find. Enter the Golden Gai by taking the little tree-lined path next to Mr. Donut, on Yasukuni-dori. At the entrance to GG, go around the right, back side of the ¥500 bar, then the second street on the right side. You`ll see the sign that's in the photo above.

Review: 

Swanky live club, heavy on the vocalists. Enjoyable but a bit soft for my tastes. It's the kind of place you take some clients or a date.

Distance from station:

Review: 

Jazz Nutty opened in 2009 next to the campus of Waseda University. The wonderful Mr.& Mrs. Aoki ran their own flower shop for 26 years before deciding to open their own cafe.

Directions: 
It's a bit far from Waseda station and you have to walk through the campus. Best way to get there is find the Toden Arakawa streetcar Waseda Station. Just past the streetcar station turn right off of Shin-Mejiro Dori towards the Waseda University campus. You'll see Jazz Nutty on the left side of the street.
