The hot spot currently is Naka-dori - www.naka-dori.jp (Tomorrowland rocks!)

...and in general the Ginza area, and backstreets, are experiencing a resurgence of "cool" right now.

As for knock-offs, I'm sure you could find them in the back streets of Shibuya and Ueno, but I'm not really sure. Japanese consumers are interested in the real thing, and wouldn't be very happy to discover that they had purchased a fake. More than likely any fake you would find would be priced as the real thing, and not sold as a cheap knock-off.
