  Lunch is the best time to come here as for 850yen you get a main dish, a little salad, a small soup and a drink. The evening features a wide range of pasta and French/Italian/Spanish inspired dishes but can get a little pricey at around 2500-3000 per person. Exit Tsu station on the JR side and turn right on the corner with the estate agent and bookstore (which has lots of adult magazines right outside!) and keep going straight, passing Pachinko and a music store. Cross the street where the railway crossing is and it will be on your left next to the 'members club Azabu'.

  Mixed menu but sells things like salad, pizza and pasta etc. Delicious! Popular with students from Mie University. To get here is a three minute walk approx. from Edobashi Station. A good place if there is a bunch of you hanging out in the evening! Nice, studenty vibe.
