Last time, I went to a restaurant for New Year's using GoToEat, but unfortunately only table seats were available. When I went to the restroom, I saw a quaint, traditional Japanese restaurant building in the back. This place is called the "Okuzashiki," a historic area where you can make reservations in advance. I decided to go there since they said I could make a reservation for that day. The reservation fee is 500 yen per person. Although I had a reservation for 12:30, I arrived in Asakusa early and was hungry, so I went at 11:40. Surprisingly, they were able to seat me without any issues. The place was not fully booked like it was during New Year's. When I mentioned my name, a waitress escorted me to a separate building through the back door. There was even a small courtyard in this area, and around 9 private rooms were available. The rooms had three types of seating: chairs, sunken kotatsu tables, and traditional tatami mats. You could specify your preference when making a reservation. I requested a sunken kotatsu room, and I was assigned a small 6-tatami mat room. The menu was separate from the regular table menu, and cheaper lunch options or tamagoyaki were not available. This restaurant mainly served meat dishes, and items like tempura or sashimi required advance reservations. Unlike other restaurants like Asakusa Imahan or Ningyocho Imahan, which offer course menus, this place only had sukiyaki sets. I ordered the Special Wagyu Beef Sirloin Sukiyaki set with vegetables, egg, and sauce for 6,600 yen, as well as the Upper Grade Sukiyaki set for 4,500 yen to compare. I also added a rice set for an additional 750 yen, a beer for 600 yen, and a beef ponzu sauce with grated daikon for 1,600 yen. When I was about to enjoy my beer, the sukiyaki set arrived first, which was unexpected. The waitress immediately started cooking the meat on the hot plate and served it with the sauce. Just in time, another staff member brought my beer. The cooking process was delicate, and the quality of the meat made a difference. The top-grade meat was just as tender and had a good amount of marbling. After that, I added the vegetables and cooked them myself. It seemed like the waitress wanted customers to participate in the cooking process. As I sipped my beer, the beef ponzu sauce with grated daikon was served. It was unusual for the main dish to come before the side dish, but it was delicious when eaten like a cold shabu-shabu. Maybe this was their version of shabu-shabu since they didn't have it on the menu. Luckily, the neighboring room was empty, so it was quiet and I ended up staying longer, enjoying sake and having deep conversations. In the end, I added rice and egg to make a porridge with the remaining ingredients. It was a delightful experience, different from dining in a department store. The serene atmosphere was a welcome change from the hustle and bustle of Shin-Nakamise Street.

I used it for a commemorative day. The private rooms were fully booked because I made a reservation a little late, but the private room area is separate at the back of the shop, so I would like to try using it next time. The taste was really delicious and there was nothing to complain about, haha. I had never eaten such delicious sukiyaki before! We also received a thorough explanation of how to make it, and it was nice that the staff could help make it to some extent. I would like to use it again.

I made a reservation and visited during lunchtime on a regular day. I was worried about having sukiyaki in the middle of summer, but the air conditioning was strong, which was a relief. I had the special selected beef sirloin sukiyaki! Afterwards, I added one serving each of the special selected and premium sukiyaki, and ended up eating too much haha.

It's unnecessary to praise a well-known famous restaurant. The only thing I can say is that the quality of the meat is incredibly good. Exceptional. The landlady told me the perfect timing to eat the meat, which was exquisite. I drank a lot of alcohol, but maybe because the meat was so good, I didn't feel bad the next day(?) Thank you for the wonderful meal.

I ordered the special sukiyaki and as soon as the meat arrived, my excitement level went up. The beef had beautiful marbling and was not too fatty, making it easy to eat. It disappeared quickly and we had to order more meat. Next, we ordered a higher grade sukiyaki meat, which was leaner with less fat. It still had a satisfying meaty texture.

The restaurant itself is located in a bustling tourist area, but once you enter the inner room, it is really quiet and you can enjoy your meal slowly! The small courtyard on the way to the inner room also had a nice atmosphere. I ordered the special sirloin steak and it was so tender and melted in my mouth. For those who don't like oily food, the sukiyaki on top might be a good option. It seems to be a family-run business, and they were very polite and attentive, leaving a good impression.

Sukiyaki is a long-established restaurant and it is so popular that you might not get a seat if you don't make a reservation. Even on weekdays, it was packed during lunchtime. I ordered the special lunch set and the meat was so marbled that it melted in my mouth.

Asakusa, Tokyo's No. 1 tourist spot, is fully recovered with domestic and international tourists, so I made a reservation for my first visit. For reservations, you will be seated in a building with a tatami room that you pass through the inner courtyard. It was a private room in a Japanese-style room, but since it was a table seat, I was able to enjoy my meal comfortably. I chose the premium meat, and I even got a refill of meat. Since the menu only offers sukiyaki or steak, I wish there were more à la carte options. It might feel a bit lonely to just eat meat for about an hour. I saw them carrying sashimi platters to other tatami rooms in the hallway, so maybe you can request them in advance?

I had a business dinner in Asakusa on a weekday. We had sukiyaki in a private tatami room. I ordered the top quality sukiyaki and it was delicious. The experienced staff provided excellent service, showing why they are a longstanding establishment. Truly a top-notch restaurant. It was a bit pricey, but the food was delicious.

I enjoyed sukiyaki in the private room at Imahan's main branch. The tokonoma displayed a calligraphy of "Kannon" and other calligraphy on the walls. The craftsmanship on the transoms and shoji screens was exquisite. I started with sashimi (ordered separately). The sukiyaki was delicious, with high-quality meat, tofu, leeks, and Chinese cabbage included in the set. The chilled sake, Shirataka, was also delicious. I ordered miso soup, rice, and pickles separately. I indulged in additional meat and had a relaxing time. It was a blissful experience. It's nice to occasionally immerse oneself in Japanese culture like this. I will definitely visit again. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

The exterior and interior have a clean and stylish atmosphere. The menu consists mainly of sukiyaki, offering incredibly delicious meat that you should definitely try. After enjoying the view of the illuminated Senso-ji Temple and Skytree, we drew omikuji fortunes and headed to the next restaurant (sushiya).

Darling's birthday celebration! We started by visiting Sensoji Temple during the day, then headed to Hanayashiki amusement park. Surprisingly, the rides were quite fun! After strolling around Asakusa, we had a reservation at the famous Imahan for sukiyaki at 5 pm. Imahan is well-known for sukiyaki in Asakusa. There are multiple Imahan locations in Asakusa, so be careful not to get confused. The sign outside has a historical feel (or you could say it looks a bit old-fashioned), but the interior was clean and nice. Since we had made a reservation, the only option available was the premium sukiyaki set (with beef, raw egg, and sauce) for ¥4,500 per person. The meat was beautiful. Initially, the staff cooked the meat for us. Be careful with adjusting the heat and adding sauce yourself to avoid burning it. The staff were kind and helpful, so don't hesitate to ask if you're unsure. The meat was tender and incredibly delicious. The flavor was on the rich side. As a meat lover, I was overjoyed!! Vegetables came in various types and quantities. But honestly, the meat portion was a bit small. If you have room, it might be worth ordering extra meat. Since we had eaten a lot during the day, we didn't opt for extras this time. The cost performance might not be the best, but I had always wanted to try it, and the atmosphere was perfect for a celebration. I ordered a drink from the menu and had a second serving of egg. The rice was free for a large portion, so I didn't hold back on that. Private rooms are available for free, but they are first-come, first-served, so it's best to reserve early. Although we didn't get a private room, having no other customers around at 5 pm made it feel luxurious. It was a special birthday celebration. I wonder where we'll go for our next meal. Yum yum yum~ (＾・∞・＾)

I visited the famous "Imahan Honten" in Asakusa, known for its sukiyaki, near the Kaminarimon Gate. I arrived around 6 pm on a Wednesday and easily got a seat on the first floor. I ordered the special beef sirloin sukiyaki set and a bottle of Super Dry beer. The sukiyaki set arrived promptly, and the staff cooked the sukiyaki for us. The meat was tender, and we enjoyed it with raw egg. We also ordered more sukiyaki and rice towards the end, which turned out to be a generous portion. Overall, it was a satisfying meal in the traditional Asakusa neighborhood.

It's been a while since I had sukiyaki. I entered at 6 pm and the restaurant was empty. Maybe because it's still early? Anyway, I ordered a beer and the meat for sukiyaki looked delicious. Sukiyaki is mainly served as a single item, and I chose the special beef loin sukiyaki for 6600 yen. I added a rice set for an additional charge. The meat was thick and satisfying to eat, but it was still quite expensive. By the time I left, the restaurant started to get a bit busier.

Asakusa Imahan Honten is known for its sukiyaki. It seems that Imahan in Ningyocho and Imahan in Asakusa are different in terms of management even though they share the same name. I reserved a room in the back of the restaurant. The exterior of the restaurant is ordinary, but once you enter, you can feel the history as you walk towards the back room. Inside the room, there was a table and chairs on tatami mats. I ordered the Special Beef Sirloin Sukiyaki and a drink. The waitress cooked the sukiyaki for us. The meat was tender, and the sauce was perfectly seasoned, making it very delicious. Enjoying tasty food in a relaxed atmosphere makes the alcohol go down smoothly. I added more meat, vegetables, and fillet steak, and ended up feeling satisfied. The food, service, and atmosphere were all fantastic.

I visited the restaurant on a weekday afternoon without a reservation. Despite many reservations, I was lucky to get a table without one. I ordered the sukiyaki set meal. They served rice, egg, and red miso soup, followed by meat, tofu, and vegetables. Initially, the staff explained how to cook it. The meat was lean and slightly tough, not the melt-in-your-mouth kind. However, the portion was generous, and with pickles and red miso, I was satisfied. Considering the price and location in the heart of Asakusa, it was a very satisfying lunch.

I visited the restaurant around 1 pm on a weekday. Since it was a weekday, the restaurant was not crowded and I was able to get a table right away. Today, I decided to have the popular sukiyaki set meal. When I placed my order, a sukiyaki stove was brought to the table and everything was prepared promptly. The first piece of meat was shown to me by the staff, and then it became self-service. I tried a bite of the meat and it melted in my mouth, with the perfect sweetness of the sauce, the gentle taste of the egg, and the richness of the high-quality meat blending together in my mouth, making me feel happy. I continued to cook and enjoy the high-quality vegetables, tofu, and more. Before I knew it, I had finished everything and I was very satisfied! It's no wonder this restaurant has been around for so long. It is truly a remarkable place. Located right in the heart of a tourist spot, I highly recommend visiting this famous restaurant!

In Asakusa, I decided to try sukiyaki, something I had always wanted to eat. The dilemma was whether to go to the Kaminarimon Honten or the main branch here. I chose the main branch to "eat history". The chopstick bag had the eras written on it from Meiji to Reiwa. Impressive. For lunch, you can have sukiyaki for about 2000 yen, but it might be a one-time thing. For dinner, I ordered the premium sukiyaki and rice set. A skilled lady served and cooked it for us. The first half was done by her, and the second half was self-cooked by the customers. Oh right, this place uses warishita. I've only tried Misimaya and Moritaya in Kyoto, so I won't say for sure, but the sukiyaki I had here seemed to have a stronger flavor. That was unexpected. I was expecting a stronger flavor than Kansai, so my mouth and tongue were prepared for that. A bit of a letdown. But in the end, I couldn't help but go back to Asakusa Imahan on Kaminarimon Street, and there I also got a bento box like the "Hyakunen Gyudon".

The bento was very delicious. The sukiyaki meat was incredibly tasty, making it an exceptional bento. The meat was very tender and delicious. The grilled fish was also very tasty. The simmered dish was also delicious, creating a well-balanced bento. The amount of rice was just right. I often use Imahan besides the main store in Asakusa, but at the Asakusa store, I enjoy bento, and when it's not during the corona period, I always enjoy the sukiyaki kaiseki. It's a wonderful restaurant.

Asakusa's well-known famous restaurant, Imahan. There are various restaurants with the name Imahan, but the original one is said to be the Imahan Honten located here! This was my long-awaited first visit! Let's go! - 3 minutes walk from Asakusa Station - Tabelog rating 3.54 (as of January 7, 2021) - Dinner budget ¥8000-10000 per person I made a reservation! Entered at 19:30. With a reservation, you will be guided to a private room in the back, which has a fantastic atmosphere! You take off your shoes and are guided to a completely private room. Ordered at 19:40 - Special selected beef sirloin sukiyaki ¥6,600 - Rice set ¥750 - Beer (medium bottle) ¥700 The set arrived at 19:45! The sukiyaki set looks beautiful. The first time, the staff will cook it for you. It's incredibly delicious! The high-quality meat is overwhelmingly good, tender, and melts in your mouth! Last order was taken at 20:00. Due to closing time, the bill was settled at 20:30. The service, atmosphere, and taste were all excellent! If you go, it seems best to make a reservation beforehand. Thank you for the delicious meal!

With my wife and son. We ordered the special selected beef sirloin sukiyaki (6,600 yen) and the premium sukiyaki (4,500 yen). We only made a reservation for the table and decided to check the menu at the restaurant. I didn't do much research beforehand, so there weren't many options to choose from at the restaurant. The meat was indeed tender. Once we put it in the pot, it changed color quickly like shabu-shabu. I felt that the sauce was a bit too sweet, but maybe that's how it's supposed to be. The "premium" option had a bit more fat, and towards the end, I got a little tired of it. I really wanted to enjoy the atmosphere of Asakusa along with the meal, but due to the pandemic, the city felt quite lonely. The restaurant itself also lacked a bit of liveliness (on the bright side, it had a calm atmosphere).
