    This is my favorite Tokyo/Edo style restaurant. Basically these were a fast food in Edo. But please note that these are no longer cheap stuff.Also you need to sit on the floor, no chair. This restaurant serves fresh water fishes, loaches, eels, and in winter catfishes that were prior cooked to remove nasty things then you cook in a shallow pan to the level you like . They offer also excellent appetizers and to conclude barbecued eel or loach rice bowl, etc. To be honest most Japanse people at at my age did not love this kind of fishes due to mud tastes. But we did not have affordable protein stuff. So myself and spouse can understand that this is the art of cooking. Ordering instructions, based on my typical menu: 1. start with appetizers like crispy fried loaches, like chips, and a bowl of tuna with miso paste (Nuta); Beer is fine at this step 2. Order BBQ eel or loach on rice bowl as these take tens of minutes to arrive, earlier the better; I shift to Sake 3. Order loach pot, there are 2 types, w/ or w/o bones, I have both styles. Available toppings are leeches, tofu and more. These will be served shortly Their representatives speak English well. Enjoy! by this you enjoy Edo food. note: 2 loach pots for 1 per person

    food is okay. But, we were stood at the lobby and asked to choose menu first before we were guided to table, while other japanese guests were guided to the table first. we ordered two kinds of dish. one came out soon, but the other(una rice) didnt come for more than 30 min. I dont recommand this restaurant to foreigner.

    Amazing food, and good prices. Very traditional dining experience. Don't even think of going in if you don't speak Japanese, though.

    Truly one of the best meals of my life. It was also incredibly authentic. The service was wonderful and friendly, the food was delicious, especially the unagi (eel), and the atmosphere felt like I was truly in Japan eating food that isn't available outside of Japan. I recommend this restaurant wholeheartedly.

    There are also softly stewed loach pots, fried loach, and unajū. A long-established restaurant in Asakusa.

    The approach from the entrance is architecturally very beautiful. Once seated, ask the waiter for recommendations. Then you can enjoy the rest of the restaurant as it is.
