One of Tokyo's finest jazz venues, Alfie is an intimate space with soft amber light-
ing, two tiers of table seating and a loyal following. It's almost exclusively local tal-
ent on the stage here, meaning Alfie is a lot more reasonable then some of the big-
ger jazz venues around town. ( 3479-2037; http://homepage1.nifty.com/live/alfie ; 5th fl,
