After a long time, I went drinking with a friend who works at a long-established company in Asakusa, my hometown. We had a sudden delay in meeting, so I went to a lively new bar on Hoppy Street first. They explained that there were open seats in the front and seats inside, so we went inside. A large TV was showing silent live coverage of women's volleyball, with Southern All Stars playing softly in the background. I ordered a Red Hoppy set (480 yen, plus 50 yen for red) from the drink menu. Soon, we were served the appetizer of grilled spicy cod roe (380 yen) and the Hoppy set. The cod roe was not too spicy, with a refined taste similar to the one you get as a souvenir on JAL flights, and the glass was ice-cold! From the food menu on the back, we ordered the special stew (580 yen) and the avocado and fresh fish salad (780 yen). The dishes came out quickly, and there were staff constantly on the floor, so we didn't have to shout to get their attention, just eye contact was enough. The stew was special indeed, with plenty of beef tendons and konjac simmered in a sweet and savory miso and soy sauce blend. It was perfect with drinks. Next came the avocado and fresh fish salad, with a generous serving of tuna chunks that paired perfectly with the avocado. The tuna included medium fatty tuna, and it tasted like fresh sashimi. We added a Hoppy refill (200 yen), and they brought us a new ice-cold glass for the second round, which was great. The size of the glass was just right for two drinks. We were recommended the special selection of three types of pickled fish (380 yen), a collaboration with Kanzei Tonya's Nezu Matsumoto, so we ordered that. The menu could have highlighted this more, as it was a great deal. They explained that the shop is part of a long-established wholesaler, with a few stores still remaining in Tsukiji. It was clear that they stock the best seasonal ingredients from all over Japan. My friend arrived about an hour late, and we immediately ordered a Black Hoppy set (480 yen), dried firefly squid (480 yen), and added another beef stew. We toasted with our cold glasses! The firefly squid was fresh and had just the right amount of tenderness and saltiness. The pickled fish wrapped in straw was small but had a thick and flavorful flesh, a true delicacy. I ordered a cold glass of Takeha Noto Junmai sake (950 yen), while my friend got another Hoppy refill. The sake was selected as one of Japan's top five breweries in the past, and it had a gentle dryness that I liked. The menu was extensive, so we also ordered a Jim Beam highball (550 yen) and a Vice Sour for my friend (500 yen), along with salted potato butter (580 yen) and today's recommended dish of salt-grilled saury from Miyagi Prefecture (600 yen) with extra grated radish. The highball was served with extra carbonation, as stated on the menu, which was refreshing. The potato butter was a great combination of salted fish and butter, and the saury was fresh and easy to eat, with the flesh cleanly coming off the bones. The grilling was perfect, fluffy and juicy. I couldn't help but feel satisfied that we could enjoy such a proper meal on Hoppy Street, where many Asian restaurants used to dominate. Although I ended up eating most of the dishes, I was very satisfied with the total bill of just over 4,000 yen per person. We had planned to go drinking around, but after such a good time, we decided to have one more drink before leaving Asakusa. Thank you for the delicious meal!

Visited for the first time on a scorching hot day in August. Asked the staff whether to sit on the first or second floor and opted for the cooler second floor. The menu indicated that it was an izakaya run by a fishmonger, which piqued my interest. Today's menu included: - Draft beer (Asahi Super Dry) x2 - Tomato Highball - Appetizer (grilled mentaiko) - Bonito sashimi - Chilled tomato with onion dressing - Potato salad The appetizer for the day was grilled mentaiko, which alone made the drinks go down smoothly. The beer was served ice-cold and was incredibly refreshing. It was so good that I had to order another one right away. The potato salad had a rich dressing, unlike the usual mild potato salads. Overall, the dishes were on the richer side, making them perfect for pairing with drinks. Personally, I wish there were more light dishes to balance out the meal. I will definitely visit again. Thank you for the meal.

The restaurant is always crowded but the turnover is good so you can sit down fairly quickly! I had sashimi and everything was delicious! I really like that they serve Super Dry beer. I go there for a light drink and meal. It's also a plus that you can smoke there.

After watching a planetarium show at Skytree, we moved to Asakusa for a daytime drinking session! Cheers with a highball♪(*^^)o∀*∀o(^^*)♪ We had the following dishes: ☆Salmon with plenty of fat! ☆Black cod with Kyoto miso paste, looks burnt haha but tastes delicious! Not too salty, which is nice. ☆Grilled chicken tenderloin with pepper, tasty with a good amount of salt that goes well with alcohol. ☆Today's fresh fish, sea bream, firm and flavorful. Shortly after entering the restaurant, there was a photo shoot with laughter and posing, and Wentz-san came in and stared at us, but unfortunately, we only saw his profile (´；ω；｀). Thank you for the meal!

On Sunday, second stop for drinking in Asakusa. I wanted to eat grilled fish so I came here. This place is also bustling. It seems like they are having a festival at Sensoji Temple. That's understandable. Kama-age shirasu with grated daikon for ¥580, Grilled silver salmon for ¥880. A little pricey maybe, but the location probably justifies it. The appetizer was grilled mentaiko, which was a nice surprise. We sat down just at 2 PM. Tried to watch baseball on my phone but couldn't get a connection. Same with my wife's phone. Frustrating. The food was safe and delicious. Thank you for the meal.

Asakusa Ladder Sake Journey... Before the first stop at the gyoza restaurant (famous among locals), I was so hungry that I stopped at Totoya on Hoppy Street for a drink. I ordered a draft beer and simmered tripe. The cod roe takoyaki was served as a complimentary appetizer! This popular smoking-friendly restaurant has touristy prices.

Cheers at Asakusa Hoppy Street! I met up with my husband after work and had drinks in Asakusa. Since it was right before Golden Week, almost every shop was full. I'm not a fan of hoppy, so I toasted with beer. We ordered simmered beef sinew, homemade thick fried tofu, and grilled mackerel. The outside temperature was just right, and it was a very enjoyable and delicious drinking experience in Asakusa.

I visited a recommended place in Asakusa for a hoppy bar tour with my senior colleague. I tried the black and red hoppy, and found it easy to drink, but also strong. Personally, I really enjoyed the seared tarako (cod roe) and salted buttered potatoes that were served as appetizers. The place was bustling with mostly young female customers, and it was almost full even before 6 pm. The staff took orders smoothly and provided good service. After having hoppy, we moved on to the neighboring okonomiyaki restaurant... The location is perfect, and overall, it was a great dining experience. Thank you for the meal!

I enjoyed the weekend on Hoppy Street. The popular shops were crowded, but we found a seat in the middle of the entrance. We started with beer, and then I had a lemon sour while he continued with whiskey highball. The waiter recommended the fresh fish because the restaurant is directly managed by a fish market in Toyosu, so we ordered their recommendation. The bonito was seared, which was a bit disappointing as we were expecting sashimi. The seared cod roe was served as an appetizer. We had ordered a stew before at a different restaurant on Hoppy Street and enjoyed it, but this one lacked flavor. However, the waiter's service was very pleasant.

After dining at a French restaurant behind Asakusa Temple, we went for drinks as a finale. I was with a colleague who came on a business trip, and a junior colleague who ended up like Hikomaro-san. The seared cod roe appetizer was delicious. We had a lively drinking session with inbound guests from Europe and the US. Asakusa is the best! Kaminarimon is the best!

At Asakusa Hoppy Street, there is a 150-year-old Tsukiji fish market-owned bar - Tokyo, Taito-ku, Asakusa. First stop, we ate at a bistro and then had dinner at a restaurant called Totoya on Hoppy Street, a shop directly operated by a 150-year-old Tsukiji fish market. For the second stop, we ordered some light dishes: seared cod roe, boiled whitebait, deep-fried fish cake, and grilled red fish with salt. We enjoyed a toast with a highball amidst the lively atmosphere of Asakusa Hoppy Street! Everything was delicious. Thank you for the meal! #Tokyo #Taito-ku #AsakusaTemple #Gourmet #Delicious #SeafoodIzakaya #HoppyStreet #Totoya #150-year-oldEstablishedFishMarket #Cheers #Highball #SearedCodRoe #BoiledWhitebait #Deep-friedFishCake #GrilledRedFishWithSalt

After eating sushi, we decided to have a few more drinks on Hoppy Street in Asakusa. The restaurant we wanted to go to was unexpectedly closed, so we looked up and found a highly rated place called Totoya. We wanted to try Kanto and northern specialties like hatahata, but they were sold out even though it was only 7 pm. So, we ended up ordering the classic beef tendon stew and decided to try the fried oysters and unique red Hoppy. It was delicious, but the prices were a bit touristy even though it's a downtown area! We wished they had more budget-friendly options!

When it comes to the shops on Asakusa Hoppy Street, the focus is more on enjoying the atmosphere rather than high-quality cuisine. However, this shop offers a wide variety of dishes ranging from delicacies like pickled fish to various grilled fish and sashimi, all of which are surprisingly delicious. The prices are a bit on the high side compared to nearby shops (we spent 14,000 yen for two people), but it was a pleasant surprise. Definitely worth a revisit!

I was wandering around trying to decide which restaurant to go into, but I was drawn in by the words "fresh fried horse mackerel" and decided to enter. The appetizer of grilled squid got me excited. I ordered the fresh fried horse mackerel and beef tendon stew. The horse mackerel was amazing. It was about the size of one side of a baseball glove. It was incredibly delicious. As others have mentioned, the food is delicious so I don't mind paying a little more, but it would be nice if they could lower the price of the alcohol a bit. However, I will definitely go back for the horse mackerel!

Totoya in Asakusa Hoppy Street is located right in the middle of the street. Among the several shops lined up, this one looks impressive and well-kept. I usually don't go to popular places, but this one is an exception! Whenever I drink in Asakusa, I always visit here! The food is very quick to come out, no waiting at all! The taste is also top-notch in Hoppy Street. There are plenty of snacks to go with your drinks. And what's important is that the restroom is always clean here, so you can bring female friends along too!

I wake up in Asakusa with no particular plans. I pass through Nakamise Street from the big lantern and visit Sensoji Temple. I haven't tried foodie walking yet. I haven't done any shopping either. I guess drinking is the only option for me. I head to Hoppy Street where a couple of bars are open from 10 am. The fish looks delicious and the staff are calling out to customers. A few solo drinkers start to gather. I wanted to drink outside, but it seems smoking is not allowed inside. I don't mind smoking, but it's okay. I'll start with a beer. There's a variety of dishes like sashimi, grilled fish, and fried food, but they all cost around 1000 yen each. It's a bit expensive for a casual drink, so I'll just have one dish and one drink before heading home. I snack on grilled mentaiko as an appetizer while watching the TV above. Today's fresh fish is red snapper for 968 yen.

I arrived at a shop on Asakusa Hoppy Street. I visited in the early afternoon, just before evening! It's a new two-story building. I'm happy because the restroom is clean. It's crowded and full of young people. You can leisurely experience Asakusa Hoppy here. The restroom is clean and there is a place to store your belongings upstairs. It's a very good building with a nice design!

At the final day of the Sanja Matsuri around 12:00, they have a lineup that would make fish lovers happy. The appetizer is grilled cod roe with red Hoppy, a first-time encounter! Inside, there is sushi rice shochu, another first-time encounter! The yakisoba, despite seeming to be seafood, actually has pork! It's not flavored with salt or sauce, but rather with soy sauce, I think.

There are plenty of seats on the second floor, so the capacity is high. The women's restroom is on the second floor, and the young staff members are polite and kind. I would like to visit this restaurant again. The simmered offal is different from other nearby restaurants, and the offal is really tender! The appetizers and drinks are all delicious.

The fried eggplant was a bit disappointing as it lacked a strong "fried" flavor. Having a daytime drink while watching the people on Hoppy Street was a truly Asakusa experience and enjoyable.

While strolling down Hoppy Street with my friends, we were lured in by the energetic calls of a friendly staff member. We had originally wanted to go to a popular restaurant, so we decided to give it a try. It turned out to be a place known for delicious fish dishes! Among them, the firefly squid sashimi was particularly tasty. Isn't this firefly squid cute in a way? It was plump and very delicious! The other menu items were also incredibly tasty, and there was a wide variety of drinks to choose from, making it a fun experience. We had planned to visit a few more places that day, so we had a quick meal, but we definitely want to come back! The weather was nice that day, perfect for a daytime stroll on Hoppy Street!
