Aoi-jaya

Aoi-jaya doesn't seem likely to push the boundaries on washoku: Its slightly dated interior attests to that. However, its conservative but exacting approach to washoku, as well as a menu that is accommodating to all, means that if you are looking for affordable washoku, take the elevator to the 11th floor.
