At the local shop I have seen:
- Captain Black
- Borkum Riff
- Galleria
- Half & Half
- Mac Baren

I have also found this website that sells online (the name starts with Ginza - the most luxurious area in Tokyo - so I think they have good tabacco)

Is there any must-try?

wow that's not what I would have expected. Though I am curious about some of the blends on the website. There are a few I've never seen before. And love the slight variations on the packaging. Though if I ever get over to Japan I will try the traditional stuff I forget the name (could look it up, but not going to pretend) the stuff for the Kiseru. I have a small tsuge pipe that rocks. But it's chamber is the same size as the traditional Kiseru and basically I feel like it's a briar one of those. But I've been curious about the stuff normally smoked out of those.

Hey is it true you can smoke indoors at restaurants in Japan?

Yes! There are specific areas with tables for smokers, but not everywhere...
Also when you book an hotel room you can choose a smoking room!
