Shinagawa

Art Cafe
Across the street from the East side of the JR station, in the Prince hotel shopping center

Excellent coffee, this somewhat smoky cafe is full of American and European business visitors and Japanese having espresso and a curry bun, or even a "bagette" Japanese hot dog.

Directly across the street from JR Shinagawa Station Takanawa Exit you will find Enoteca on the second level of Shinagawa Wing. Shop for imported wines, or sample glasses in their small cafe. The Wing also has a tea shop.

82 Ale House
Note that last orders are at the bizarrely early time of 10:45PM on Saturdays and Sundays
Leaving Shinagawa station via the Konan exit, go down the escalator and walk down the street directly in front. Its near the end on the right hand side

Very convincing Victorian style British pub. Largish drinks menu which includes single malt wiskeys, real ale and Guinness on tap for ¥900 a pint.

Starbucks
On the second floor of JR Shinagawa Station just before the Konan Exit

Of course, Americans who are feeling homesick can always get a latte at Starbucks inside the JR station.

Virgin Cafe
Â¥1,000 for a pint
Cross the elevated walkway to the left of Shinagawa Konan Exit

This cafe always seems very smoky, but is an easy place to stop for light food and imported beers on tap such as Kilkenny and Guinness.
