Komagata Dozeu Asakusa Honten

Courage and curiosity us here and deviation from initial plan to eat ramen. There is no English sign whatsoever in front of the establishment. Truly authentic restaurant. It has a good ambience, feel like eating in the old style Japanese restaurant, especially if you sit down on the tatami. Staff can't speak English but can explain the menu with combination of a few words and hand gestures. Service is excellent. Dojou nabe is the main dishes (dojou is a loach, they taste like baby unagi but a lot softer and bony). Price range from 1300 to 2000*. Food portion is small for foreigners. I can say it's a quintessential culinary experience in Tokyo, a must visit especially if you stay in a quiet neighborhood like Asakusa.

Got the chance to visit one of the oldest restaurant in Tokyo. The place was good and the food as well. The price is reasonable.

Don't miss it. The service is excellent, friendly, and prompt, and the fish nabe is wonderful. In addition we had tofu dengaku, which also was very good. You can choose between sitting in chairs or on a matted area. Lovely experience.
