Lonely Planet review

When summer evenings in the capital hang heavy with humidity, you may long for a cold glass of white wine and a light meal by the riverside. Sadly, Tokyo has a regrettable dearth of alfresco restaurants with breathing room, though rare canal-side spots like this Iidabashi institution do exist. The speciality here is wood-fired thin crust pizzas and Italian pastas such as scallop and shrimp in a light cream sauce, though the real reason you're here is to savour a cocktail while soaking up the European atmosphere.
