- Signature dish is karasumi soba
- Piping hot crab cream croquettes
- Shirako served grilled or as tempura
- Careful selection of sake and wine
- Great for a solo drink after work
- Also suited for dates or girls' nights out
- A hidden-gem kappo restaurant in a back alley

The signature dish at Ginza Shimada is the soba topped generously with freshly shaved karasumi over thin noodles. Many customers order it not as a finishing dish but as an accompaniment to drinks, and it is known for pairing especially well with sake. The menu also features dishes made with carefully handled premium ingredients, such as snow crab cream croquettes fried to order, shirako served grilled or as tempura, and tempura of young ayu (sweetfish). The shop has a hideaway feel, lit by an andon lantern in an alley just off Corridor Street, and despite being a standing bar, it carries the refined atmosphere of a kappo restaurant. The restaurant takes great care with its sake and wine selection, and the kimono-clad okami will recommend the day's best picks. The budget is around ¥4,000, and the restaurant is praised for offering premium ingredients at reasonable prices. It's used for solo drinks after work, as a second stop when bar-hopping, and also for dates or girls' nights out. The entire restaurant is non-smoking, and card payment is accepted.
