Bib Gourmand: good quality, good value cooking
The charm of a Showa-era (1926–1989) Western eatery. In true Asakusa style, the whole family pitches in. Brothers race to finish shredding the cabbage, with the winner allowed to prepare food. This time it falls on the elder brother to wait on tables. Hamburger steak, rice-stuffed omelette, beef stew and other ‘Japanese-Western’ favourites remind patrons of the good old days. With the teachings of their grandfather and father in their hearts, the family upholds the goodness of Asakusa.
