Daikokuya Tempura
Powered by Google
Steps from Sensoji Temple's Kaminari Gate, this Meiji-era institution has served tendon since 1887, when it began as a soba shop before switching to tempura specialization. Now run by the fourth generation of the same family, it keeps a calm, old-Asakusa dining room with tatami seating for roughly 200 guests. The signature dish is a rice bowl piled high with prawns fried golden in pure sesame oil and coated in a rich, slightly spicy sauce that regulars say is unforgettable. The casual, unpretentious service suits everyone from grandparents to grandchildren, true to Asakusa's old downtown character. Beyond the famous ebi-tendon, the menu covers tempura sets, sashimi, and traditional Japanese side dishes.
