With its well-prepared tapas dishes and inexpensive wines, Biscotti makes a good refueling stop when you're in the neighborhood. The lentil-chorizo soup is a standout, and the chef isn't afraid to bring on the garlic in his sauteed shrimps and similar dishes.

The decor is casually modern without being sterile, with lots of rough wood textures and a big central table that encourages a convivial atmosphere. Large windows look out over the Yoyogi-Uehara station and the street. All dishes are Y600, and there's a choice of several economical wines priced at Y600 per tumbler. Lunch is served weekdays only.
