Follow me in this Vlog to discover one of the most popular sightseeing places in Asakusa Tokyo called Senso-Ji founded in 645 AD. Of course, the food offering in Japan extends to far more than just fish.
We started our day visiting senso –ji
It is one of Tokyo’s most colourful and popular temples. A shopping street of over 200 meters called Nakamise, leads from the outer gate to the temple’s second gate. Sensō-Ji Temple is a few steps from Asakusa Station, served by the Ginza Subway Line. Only a few minutes walk from Tokyo Metro Asakusa Station.
We visited the temple at sunset, which was perfect timing. First, because it was not crowded, secondly it was the ideal time of the day for photography. Moreover, Asakusa has numbers of hidden Izakaya (Japanese style bar) and local restaurants which makes Asakusa one of the most attractive areas in Tokyo to hang out at night.

Wondering where to have dinner.
Finally, after visiting the temple and exploring the area, we started feeling hungry. We spotted a window with fake food display. The purpose of that was to showcase the restaurant dishes. As we walked inside, the interior had a traditional feel with dark wood and a fridge full of big sake bottles. The waiter guided us first to remove our shoes and wear the traditional Japanese footwear the geta, seated us on the tatami floor around a low table and gave us the menu.
Our japaneese culinray experi ence
We started with sake and made our order with a selection suggested by the waiter. Firstly the unagi eel was unbelievably tender and had a rich taste. It is one of the nation favourites and surely a must try dish. Secondly, the hot-pot, came out on a sizzling pot generously portioned with meats served with rice, the broth flavour well balanced, the meat was tender and everything smelled beautiful. Thirdly, My wife got the vegetables and seafood tempura, they had a golden colour, perfectly crispy texture tasted clean, fresh and delicate. Our waiter, who spoke fairly decent English, was very helpful.
Did we enjoy the dinner ?
Overall, we had a decent culinary Japanese experienced in a traditional setting and the food was great! we had such a wonderful evening.
