Best Authentic Restaurants in Asakusa / Asakusabashi

I had a ten hour connection in Tokyo so I went into the city for sushi. Takaya was a terrific choice. Delicious fresh fish combined with a friendly relaxed attitude. I was a bit apprehensive about dining alone, but the chef made me feel welcome, and I had fun chatting with him. Tip: the seats at the far right side of the counter have a direct view of the chef preparing sushi, which was fascinating.

Was so great to return to Fukuzushi after not being back in Japan since 2019. While they’ve moved to a newer and smaller location, felt it was more intimate than years past, and the quality of sushi, friendliness of chef and his wife, made it so welcoming and familiar again. Reminded me why I used to frequent the restaurant years ago. Looking forward to returning again in my future trips to Tokyo.

Excellent as always. Looking forward another venue soon.

Everything was fantastic. Service was amazing. The food was well prepared and delicious.

This place is amazingly delicious. We loved every dish! Make sure you try a few of the Naan breads. Also, the vibe is cool. The restaurant is directly adjacent to all of the swanky shops of glitzy Ginza -but the atmosphere is decidedly warm and welcoming.
