Admit one · the scene

Kill Bill: Volume 1 (2003)

The two-story wooden room inspired the House of Blue Leaves, where the Bride takes on the Crazy 88. (The fight itself was shot on a set built from it.)

What to order

Handmade soba and yakitori off the robata

Getting in: Book ahead for dinner; late at night is easier.

A big, theatrical izakaya that's open till the early hours; it's where George W. Bush and Junichiro Koizumi had dinner in 2002. Go for the room and a late night, and the sushi counter upstairs.
