The screen lock entrance looked suspicious, but once inside, it was a lively and unique place. The manager of another shop in Asakusa introduced us to this deep and mysterious establishment. It was a wonderful and intriguing place to visit! I would definitely recommend this hidden gem for anyone visiting Asakusa.

After visiting several places, a drinking companion suggested, "There's an interesting place in Rokku, let's go." So, we took a taxi from Minowa. When asked if it was an izakaya, bar, or snack bar, my companion just smiled mysteriously. We arrived near Don Quijote, but it was hard to find the place because we were both a bit tipsy. After circling around, we finally found the place with a bright yellow sign. It was a music bar that opened at 9 pm and closed at 5 am, with a dangerous steep staircase to climb. Inside, it was narrow, dimly lit, with loud music but still enough to hear conversations. There were quite a few customers, including some foreigners, all regulars with unique personalities. It felt intimidating to enter alone, but I was glad my companion brought me. It reminded me of the dance clubs I used to go to when I was younger. My companion had been introduced by a regular before. We sat at the counter, which had about 6 seats, and the atmosphere was similar to a club. The long-haired, tall master brought us the menu, and we chatted with the familiar faces. The drink menu was standard, but surprisingly they had a variety of Coedo beers, which I enjoyed. I was also impressed by the delicious Penne Gratin I ordered, along with the Kiss chocolates and mixed nuts. The gratin was filled with chicken, penne, shimeji mushrooms, and spinach, and it was so tasty that it sobered me up. The master, whether hired or not, had professional cooking skills. Even though I had already eaten and drank a lot, I finished it quickly. The way the Coedo beer was poured into the glass was like art. The master had to leave for some reason and was replaced by a female master. A few more customers came but left because there were no seats. Despite having many regulars, the bar welcomed newcomers warmly. I didn't know there was a bar open until morning in Rokku, and it was my first time experiencing such an interesting and unique bar. We entered at 12:20 am and left at 3:30 am – it was my first time drinking until that late.

I was drawn in by the name of the shop and decided to go in. When I arrived around 8:00 PM, I found out that the shop opens at 9:00 PM on days without events, which was a bit inconvenient for me as a non-local. However, this was Asakusa. I ended up wandering around and before I knew it, more than an hour had passed. The shop is located on the second floor of a mixed-use building, so it took a bit of courage to enter. But then I saw a sign that said "Don't be afraid~", which made me chuckle. Inside, every seat was different and there were imitation chandeliers and various trinkets scattered around, creating a unique and mysterious atmosphere. The intentionally tacky decor added to the charm of the shop, making it quite interesting. I learned that this shop is produced by Asakusa Jinta, so it made sense that there were musicians, foreigners, and stylish customers. It felt more like a bar where you enjoy the atmosphere and conversation with drinking buddies rather than focusing on the taste of the drinks or food. The drinks seemed to be evenly stocked, but the taste was average. The master, Ron-chan, engaged in conversation which kept things lively, making it a cozy and comfortable place to be. Also, this shop is quite affordable for a bar, making it perfect for casually enjoying a few drinks and then heading home. They also hold events like burlesque dances from time to time.

Near the drinking district of ROX, there is a small door that you might easily miss if you're not careful. When you go up to the second floor, you'll find a bohemian, whimsical interior that looks like a toy box turned upside down. The place is filled with orange lights, random decorations, and lamps, creating a chaotic atmosphere. There is a counter and a slightly elevated area in the back with chairs fit for a queen. The drink menu offers various options, many of which include milk. This place is more about having a fun time with friends rather than enjoying the drinks. It's perfect for when you want to let loose and have a good time. The master of the place gives off a slightly eccentric vibe, so you won't get bored easily.

The hippest place in Asakusa? Apparently it has been open for 10 years. It was quite crowded, maybe because it was during Golden Week. While I was there, the DJ changed frequently. I thought it was a soul bar, but they played funk, reggae, and beat music. The interior was a bit messy but had a unique charm to it. I saw a giant toy can next to the table seats. It turned out to be a toy container with a few random toys inside. The experience was new and exciting for me. You have to go to the counter to order, rather than waiting for the staff to come to you, which was actually nice for a casual and relaxed atmosphere. I ended up having two drinks in 30 minutes - a tequila and coke and a Turkey with soda. I may not come here alone, but it could be a good place to end a small group Asakusa trip. Just be aware that people have different preferences.

I went to the restaurant recommended by a friend, but I had a hard time finding it because I didn't know the area well. It's located among famous old Western-style restaurants, so if you follow a tourist guidebook, you'll surely find it. I was nervous climbing the stairs after finding the sign. It took some courage for a woman to go alone. When I opened the door and sat at the counter, there was a guy who I couldn't tell if he was a waiter or the owner. He had a carefree vibe, which was a bit surprising at first, but the conversation flowed smoothly and he was very informative, so time flew by. I had to leave before the last train, so I left before midnight, but I thought next time I'll book a place to stay in Asakusa and drink until dawn, chatting with regulars and taking my time.

About five years ago, while wandering around Asakusa, I was drawn to a mysterious light and climbed the stairs to open a door. Perhaps due to being a bit tipsy, I entered without any hesitation, but looking back now, I can't believe I actually went in. The master of this mysterious shop fits the atmosphere perfectly - he is so mysterious. I am impressed by the ambiance created here. The master is very friendly, so feel free to open the door and step inside. It truly feels like you can fully enjoy Asakusa here. It had been a while since my last visit, but the mysterious atmosphere is still alive and well. I don't often have the opportunity to go to Asakusa, but I will definitely come back again.

As a second option in Asakusa, this place stands out with its unique charm. If you're looking for delicious cocktails, try Orange Room. If you're looking to charm someone, maybe Doras is the place to go? It's right next to each other, so you can even embark on an adventure behind Senso-ji Temple. But sometimes, nights like this suit a place like this. Don't expect much from the drinks and food here, and the interior design might even resemble a run-down snack bar (no offense). However, this is a gathering place for music lovers, young people, and artists, where you can have two drinks for just a little over 1000 yen and strike up conversations with strangers. The person behind the counter when I visited last time said they work as a street performer during the day. It's a place for chatting (Bar).
