I visited Asakusa Yokocho, a new attraction in Asakusa, located on the 4th floor of Tokyo Rakutenchi Asakusa building, which is a food and festival hall. The place is filled with Instagrammable spots and has a kitschy atmosphere that gives off a feeling of being at a festival, with lively and fun vibes. There are seven food and drink establishments and a kimono rental shop on the floor, and I visited Asakusa Sushi this time. The main seating is at the counter, with two table seats available. The counter seats have outlets for charging, which is convenient. The showcase in front of the counter seats displays many toy sushi pieces, which are fun to look at. You can scan the QR code next to the lifelike sushi samples and place your order through LINE on your smartphone. You can also order delivery from the neighboring yakitori restaurant, which is a nice feature. The cute Doraemon & Dorami-chan cocktail is perfect for toasting! There is a fortune slip attached to the chopsticks. The appetizer of fried cod is more like a substantial dish than a simple appetizer, with crispy fried cod that is soft and sweet. The blowfish skin with ponzu sauce is chewy and perfect as a snack with alcohol. The Murasake Junmai Ginjo Konruri Fujin Raijin sake is served in a glass that would appeal to foreigners. The hot and crispy anglerfish tempura is delicious with a crispy coating sprinkled with seaweed. The Mount Sushi, topped with grated yam, tuna, salmon roe, and flying fish roe, is a fun specialty of the restaurant. The Ebi-kani Gassen, where you mix crab miso inside the crab shell with shrimp, crab, salmon roe, and quail eggs, is another specialty dish. The lemon highball served in a cute glass is refreshing. Towards the end, we had nigiri sushi, including horse mackerel, cured mackerel, small snapper, tuna red meat, medium fatty tuna, and fatty tuna, all of which were traditional and filling. During the meal, a comedian visited each table and entertained us. Different entertainers, such as magicians, visit on different days, and if you enjoy their performance, you can give them a tip. Lastly, we had a soup with tuna pieces and other ingredients for a satisfying end to the meal. Asakusa Sushi offers a wide range of sushi, from traditional Edomae sushi to creative and Instagrammable sushi, making it convenient for all-day dining and high in entertainment value, making it suitable for enjoying with family or friends. It is sure to be well-received by foreign visitors as well.
