Tavern Koji Asakusa
Come hungry, leave full of various grilled meats and beef stew. Grab a chair (and a beer, while your at it!) and prep your chopsticks, this streetside izakaya has plenty of bites to hold you over until morning. The adventurous should go for the pan-fried to perfection
natto dumplings!
Onigiri Asakusa Yadoroku
Not only is Yadoroku the oldest onigiri specialist in Tokyo, but the shop also makes some of the most satisfying rice balls around. Choose from toppings like salmon,
tarako,
okaka, and
ume, and make it a meal with miso soup and a side of pickled radish!
Ramen Benkei Asakusa
Ending the night with a steamy bowl of ramen should be an Asakusa requirement. The area is teeming with ramen joints, but you’ll want to go here to get your
tonkotsu fix. Leave your guilt at the door, because this bowl of noodle soup is rich and fatty in all the best ways.
Paku Paku
If you’re on the move, or would rather snack in the peace of your hotel room, stop by this sidewalk stall for a bento stuffed with crispy chicken, pork katsu, omelette, or even pasta! The shop is filled with everything you could need to satisfy your after-hour cravings, whether that be
takoyaki, crispy egg roll, or french fries.
Uuto Cafe
For a more low-key option, Uuto Cafe offers luxurious desserts (you’ll want to go for the chocolate cafe), pasta, or hardy sandwiches in a space that will make you feel like your hanging out at a friend’s house.
