"I brought in the fish I caught that morning and had them cook it for me! They have a wide selection of sake, and the food is delicious and reasonably priced! I'll definitely be back!"

"A down-to-earth izakaya in Asakusa. The prices and atmosphere are very 'shitamachi' (downtown). While places like monjayaki restaurants and izakayas on the main street are usually packed, this one is relatively empty. The sashimi and yakitori are both well-prepared and delicious. I brought a foreign friend here, and they really loved the yakitori. "

"I visited on a weekday afternoon. It was a hot day, and I stopped by after sightseeing at the Kaminarimon gate in Asakusa. It's an Asahi Beer company, but you can use it as a cafe, even if you just want coffee and cake. You take the elevator to the 21st floor and then the escalator to the 22nd floor. You choose your menu and pay first, then you can"

"A great place to enjoy a variety of craft beers. The beer is delicious, but the food is just okay. It's probably a bit pricey for a tourist spot. The atmosphere is nice, so it's a good place to visit while sightseeing. It might not be the best choice for locals or people from nearby areas looking for a regular spot."

"A casual izakaya directly run by a sake shop located in Nakamise-dori Street in Asakusa. The shop is divided into a sake sales area and a dining area, where you can enjoy a variety of sake and shochu by the glass.

I went around 1:30 PM and there was a line outside! I waited for about 20 minutes. It's a popular restaurant with a line, so I was excited to go inside. T"

"This fried potato and beer shop in Asakusa has been on my radar for a while now, as it always has a long queue on weekends. This time, I tried the "Corne Oaked," a Belgian beer, paired with their fried potatoes. The beer had a smooth texture and sweetness, followed by a long, elegant bitterness and a subtle hint of the woody aroma from its matura"

"The Halloween lunch set is ¥2850. It's a hidden gem during the weekday lunch hours, as it's less crowded. The large windows offer a sense of openness and a beautiful view, creating a wonderful atmosphere. I'd love to try the terrace seating when the weather is nice. The food emphasizes the natural flavors of the ingredients, resulting in a surprisi"

"We stopped by this bar in Asakusa around 5:30 PM on a weekend evening before dinner. There was only one other group of three people, so we were able to be seated right away. The bar had three tables for 3-4 people and four stools at the counter. However, those who drink at the counter are generally expected to stand. We sat at a table and enjoyed"

"I visited during the Asakusa Sanja Matsuri festival. It was incredibly crowded and hot, but the street where this shop is located was less crowded, allowing me to sit and take a break while enjoying a drink. I tried the strawberry tequila out of curiosity, and it was delicious. I also had a strawberry sour and some dango. The strawberry sour had a "

"It was my first visit. It was around 5 pm, and there were three other customers at the counter. The menu selection felt a bit limited. Prices were listed on the drink menu and the blackboard menu, but the rest were unclear. I ordered a highball with oolong tea (¥660), oolong tea (¥440), two servings of the appetizer, two skewers of yakitori, two sk"

"Established in 1983, this is a long-standing Russian restaurant. On this day, I was in Asakusa for lunch, celebrating the grand opening of a friend's chiropractic clinic. Since I was there, my friend and I decided to try this place, a soul food spot that the clinic owner had been eating since childhood. The classic lunch menu offers a choice of m"

"I visited this restaurant for dinner on the day I went sightseeing in Asakusa. I ordered the beef cheek stew in red wine because it looked delicious. I wanted to order a salad too, but since I was dining alone, I was unsure if I could finish it. The manager suggested a small appetizer platter that would be perfect for a single person, so I let them"

"This is Hoppy Street, famous for its individual shops extending tent roofs over their storefronts to create seating areas. I was drawn in and found myself in one of these terrace-like tent seats. There were about 20 tables lined up, with a few more seats inside. Fortunately or unfortunately, in the midst of the pandemic, these tent seats are outdoo"

"I live in Asakusa, and this is my absolute favorite restaurant. If I'm going out to eat with someone, this is the first place I book. Reservations are usually available a few days in advance, and the counter-only seating creates a great atmosphere. There's no menu, and the dishes come out one after another, so you don't have to worry about ordering"

"A traditional Japanese restaurant located on "Sushiya-dori" street in Asakusa, offering seasonal dishes and fresh seafood. The restaurant has a welcoming atmosphere, with a staircase leading down to the basement. The interior features a counter and tables. At lunchtime, about 30% of the seats were occupied.

"I visited around 1:20 PM on a weekday. There was only one other customer in the restaurant. I ordered the "Spanish Red Wine Braised Beef Bolognese" pasta plate for ¥1,500. The plate came with a Caesar salad with prosciutto, bread drizzled with olive oil, and pasta. The pasta was probably tagliatelle? It was similar to fettuccine, a flat, chew"
