Asakusa Senzoku - A new restaurant that opened on August 8th along Kanemikan Street, heading towards the subway Iriya Station! This place used to be a shop that sold Vietnamese sandwiches called "Bánh mì" or something like that. I bought it too but haven't written a review yet. It's already closed... So, taking over such a trendy shop, it has transformed into a more cafe-like atmosphere bar. It's a very narrow space but with a cozy feel. A "meat bar" has opened in such a niche backstreet... and upon entering, it turned out to be a place that serves carefully roasted meat! The manager is a young woman, and the chef in charge of cooking is a young chef who came from Kyoto. There seems to be a similar store in Koenji as well... - Roast beef bowl 800 yen This was not the type of bowl that serves low-quality meat with sauce. The roast beef was tender yet had a solid beef flavor and satisfying texture, and the sauce was rather subtle, enhancing the flavor of the meat. It's a meat sauce that highlights the flavor of the meat. The amount of roast beef was generous, piled on top of the rice. Eating it with the egg yolk crushed with the sauce was delicious. I haven't eaten roast beef much before, and I haven't often come across something delicious in this kind of bowl, but this was delicious! The high-quality meat, processing and cooking, and the flavor of the sauce, I could feel their dedication throughout. It's a simple bowl of just beef and rice, so there's no room for deception. That's why sushi restaurants and meat bars are tough businesses. Meat, depending on the cut and condition, the cooking time can be tricky! I gratefully finished it while considering such things... - Extra lunch plate 1000 yen Curry rice with roast pork! I asked for extra meat for an additional 200 yen... The curry had an elegant taste reminiscent of demi-glace, enhancing the flavor of the meat. So adding roast pork didn't feel out of place. It was a plate with a well-balanced overall taste! The smoked potato salad was also delicious, and the accompanying cold pumpkin soup was subtly sweet and very tasty. Overall, the attention to detail was impressive. Also, the "Blue Salt Ice Cream" served as a complimentary dessert was super delicious! The balance of saltiness and sweetness was really good after the meal. I wonder if such a high-quality and stylish establishment will appeal to the old folks in this working-class neighborhood, including myself. The previous shop also closed because it didn't seem like the kind of trendy sandwich like "Bánh mì" was something the locals around here would eat often. However, when I asked the owner, it seems that there are already well-dressed older customers who are regulars and come to eat here. That's good to hear! In front of this shop is the long-established tempura rice bowl shop "Senzoku Iseya". Next to it is the eel restaurant "Shin" as well... Alongside tempura rice bowls and eel bowls, I hope roast beef will also become a staple in the back alleys of Asakusa.

Today was the Asakusa Samba Carnival!! So, for the first time, I went to see this thing called the Asakusa Samba Carnival. However, there were too many people and I couldn't see much of it... but it was really powerful. Anyway, since I came all the way to Asakusa, I thought I'd take a stroll around the area where I used to live, towards Senzoku and Iriya. When I entered Kinmeikan Street from Kaminarimon Street and headed towards Iriya, I noticed a pink shop that seemed out of place in the atmosphere of this town... I was curious, so I decided to take a look inside. What!! Roast beef bowl for 800 yen!!! It was cheap, so I went in right away. When I asked the staff for a recommendation, they suggested the roast pork instead of the beef... I was more interested in the beef, but I decided to go with their recommendation. I ordered the roast pork bowl. The result was very satisfying!!! It seems they use domestic, Joshu pork, and it was incredibly delicious. The sauce drizzled on top was outstanding. It had a slight acidity, with tomatoes sprinkled on top. The acidity of the sauce and tomatoes matched the sweetness of the pork fat, and for 800 yen, the quality was quite impressive. The staff were young and friendly, which was great. The only downside was that the chairs were a bit hard, so my butt started to hurt after a while. But overall, it was a really delicious restaurant. I wonder if I should try the roast beef next time?? Or maybe stick with the pork?? They also serve alcohol at night, like a bar, so I'd like to come back in the evening. Thank you for the meal!!

I happened to pass by this restaurant during lunch time. The atmosphere inside was like a log house and very beautiful. I found out that they had just opened recently. I decided to try the curry, and it was a great choice. It had a good balance of spices with a fruity flavor. Definitely try it out if you get the chance!

Quiche, ratatouille, curry, liver pate, roast beef. Everything is delicious and reasonably priced. You can also drink alcohol, they serve lunch, and it's a very convenient place if you live nearby. There aren't many other restaurants around.

"Special lunch plate" for 1,100 yen.

The roast pork bowl is delicious. It takes time but I will go again.

I entered the restaurant for lunch and had a visually appealing Land and Sea Marriage Bowl. The harmony of roast beef, ikura, and uni, with accents of wasabi, left me feeling satisfied with the generous toppings. The only downside was that the rice was starting to cool and clump in some places, which slightly dampened my excitement over the toppings. Oh well.

Second visit. Heard about the Mille-Feuille Katsu Curry Uni Marriage Donburi. Was skeptical about the price, but it was worth every penny! Absolutely delicious. I'm hooked, but need to consult my wallet!

I stopped by yesterday and noticed that the menu had expanded, so I ended up ordering something new! It seems like every time I go, the menu keeps growing at this restaurant. I visit a few times a week, and no matter when I go, the food is always delicious!

The kitchen is very stylish and the staff are very friendly!! The terrine made with colorful vegetables and smoked salmon is very stylish and the rich pudding is so delicious that you'll want to order it twice in one visit haha.

Sometimes I visited a Chicken Nanban restaurant in Iriya and found it almost full, so I wandered towards Washijinsha Shrine and discovered a new place. **What I had:** - Roast Pork Donburi for 800 yen: I think I'm already addicted to this Roast Pork Donburi...! As mentioned in other reviews, the pork slices are thick, unlike the usual thin slices. The sweet sauce with finely chopped tomatoes balances out the flavors perfectly. The soft-boiled egg is also cracked just right (almost raw). - Curry for 700 yen + Extra curry roux for 100 yen (Free rice refills) - Gin Lime for around 500 yen: A regular customer offered me a Gin and Lime, so it might not be on the menu. On my way back... not really, but I'll probably end up going back there quite often.
