Why we recommend it
Blue Note Tokyo brings the name of the Greenwich Village jazz institution to Minami-Aoyama, and it is one of the city's leading venues for live jazz, soul and related styles. Programmes feature international stars and Japanese artists, often over multi-night runs, and the room is set up like a supper club, so you can eat and drink while you watch.
The kitchen offers a full dinner menu with dishes such as Japanese beef sirloin, plus artist-themed cocktails and a wine list, so it is worth arriving early and making an evening of it. Book through the online schedule or by phone; popular names sell out well in advance, and booking earlier generally means better seat choice. The club is about eight minutes' walk from Omotesando Station and has no parking, so come by train or taxi.
