Restaurant
And hereunder has some more information.
Drinking Tap Water
Tap water is safe to drink anywhere inside Japan. Although, you may not like a slice bit of taste of swimming pool, you know the white tablet called Chlorine. Even Tokyo Water is getting better each year (you may be interested in reading www.waterprofessionals.metro.tokyo.jp for the improvement) you may dislike the processed water in small island, but please do not worry, there are major water brand such as evian and crystal geyzer and vittel sold any super market, and you should please try Suntory brand or Mt.Fuji brand water while here in Japan. By the way, tap water costs JPY1 (one yen) per 4 litre.
Fish Market
ADACHI "local" MARKET
Seeing is Believing (^^) because Tuna Auction is "peepingly" avaialble for EVERYONE,
no time limit, no 120-only, no 03:00AM, not far from Asakusa (about JPY1,500-JPY2,000
taxi ride, means that you may be able to walk this distance within about
60 minutes), far less tourists which means that they are not "amusement
market". On the official calendar, marked in red means closed. Event/Festival
is held on every second Saturday of odd months (except January which holds
Event/Festival on third Saturday of odd months), local won't go but Japanese
tourists would visit. One thing, volume they deal is only less than 5 percent
of Toyosu Market, still second biggest in Tokyo. Unlike old Tsukiji, there
is no outer market/restaurant at all, only several local restaurant within
the market.
TOYOSU new MARKET
Number One market in Japan. Tuna Auction Observation Deck can do close-watch
of early morining work, not first-comes-first-served but prior-month-lottery
based lucky people can join. Non luck? No worries, you may still "observe"
from 2nd-deck-observation-corridor. And new facility called SenkyakuBanrai is highly recommended. Easy access is by Yurikamome Line which is a computerized auto tram therefore front glass view is just like
train driver. Shijo-Mae station (U14) is literally translated into Japanese
as Market-Front station.
TSUKIJI old MARKET
Old Tsukiji closed in 2018, but still very much worth visiting the outer-market
to eat around. New Toyosu Market is about 3km south east from the Tsukiji
area directly connected with Toei Bus 市01 along Tokyo Bay.
Better to start with earliest morning TOYOSU. After enjoying the glass
window "show" worth visiting before 06:00am for non frozen (nama
or raw) tuna auction in Toyosu, you may be interested in early morning
breakfast at both new Toyosu Market and old Tsukiji Market area, let's
eat fish to stay healthy, shall we. There are so many restraunt opening
in and around "outer market" of Tsukiji. Get on the front line
of the queue to avoid waiting time of 3 hours!
Tsukiji Honganji Temple is also highly recommended for 18 dishes (perhaps to pray after eating live fish?). Wanna walk because you have
feet? Ginza is actualy nearby, about 15 minutes slow walk distance from
the old market, Tsukiji, and you may be able to go beyond to the Imperial
Palace, Tokyo International Forum, Tokyo main station.
And here's the walking-eating at Jogai Shijo (outer market) during daytime. High mercury contamination has been discussed especially
since the movie COVE was on many theaters. Pros and cons, and welcome to
Japan islands surrounded by seas and oceans. Every year, September 1st
is the official opening day of dolphin-hunting. Tokyo => (Shinkansen)
=> Nagoya => (Wide View Nanki) => Taiji, or Tokyo => (Shinkansen)
=> Shin-Osaka => (Kuroshio, Ocean Arrow) => Taiji, both by JR
trains, detailed time table is available at JapanRouteFinder . You might as well surf on Official View before visit the town.
Don't want to see the dolphin massacre, but are you interested in whale
hunting? Other than Taiji, there are three other ports still continue the
"tradition", Abashiri in Hokkaido, Ayukawa (near Sendai) in Miyagi
and Wada/Wadaura (advised!) in Chiba. 2019 re-started whole nationwide commercial whaling, and here's
the Offical View. Nearby Sendai has this Whale Town, Oshika. Hokkaido has this Whale City, Kushiro
And it is also true that Japanese people have still zen style, more touch
to the ground (touch to the ocean), nature-respect, animism life, like
Ainu people (northerners) and Ryukyu people (southerners), similar to Maori
in the south hemisphere. Whale Rider is in Japan as well. Some hunt, some
eat, some live together as if ONE in entire universe.
Maybe better walk on Philosopher's trail in Kyoto, eat to live or live
to eat, you know the consequence after all. Anyway, to eat, well, to avoid
spending tourist price at Toyosu Shijo Sushi Shop, actually many Japanese
know where to eat good Sushi less expensive in downtown Tokyo. It is indeed
Asakusa (not Akasaka which is another expensive area! so easy to mistake
one or the other!) and if you were Shibuya Uobei style, you may like Kura Sushi in Asakusa ROX as well. In Kanda (between Asakusa and Shibuya) has this Smart Lane sushi restaurant called Edokko. No time to explore but aim only one? Strong recommend on red lanturn
at Andy's Fish (or known as Shin-Hinomoto in Japanese) under the railway track of JR Yamanote line (nearby Yurakucho station).
Tea Ceremony
Not ceremony but to feel zen minutes in downtown Tokyo especially after
long hour sightseeing walk, ippodo is highly recommended with small sweets wagashi.
Several hotels/restaurants offer English speaking Tea Ceremony at .......
Youwa-kai
Happo-en
New Otani
Hotel Okura
And here's Sadou-Kaikan in Tokyo and Urasenke Chado in Kyoto.
Also tea makes your heart calm and peace here at Shizu-kokoro in Asakusa.
Saryo is not celemonial but bar style of green tea house.

Knife incarnated from sword
In Japanese language, knife is called as Hocho (Houchou) or Hamono, and
there are various shapes and lengths and thickness for what you would like
to cut. For instance, to cut soba noodle, it has to be Soba-Bocho (Soba-Hocho).
Your thought might reach to Tsukiji Fish Market, even market itself re-located
into Toyosu, still outer market is active and available, but Kappabashi
Dougugai (Kappabashi Tool Street) in Asakusa has following knife shops
to choose from. If you would like to deal direct with Hocho Maker (Producer),
Fujitora Industory has Tojiro. Ceramics? Kyocera founded in Kyoto is highly recommended.
Jikko
Kamata
Kanesoh
Kama-Asa
Seisuke
Kiya Hamono has main shop in Mitsukoshimae, highly recommended. One of the best knife
shop in Tokyo. Seki, in Gifu (between Nagoya and Kyoto) very strategic location for samurai
time, has fame in sword including knife. Touken Sword Museum in Tokyo is worth visiting along with Asakusa and Ryogoku.
Sushi, Unagi, Kujira
Kujira or whale is now available all over Japan. Small whale (dolphin)
is available only at certain port town, for example, Taiji and Izu. Sick
of farmed meat (beef, pork, chicken)? Controled hunter foraging make sense?
Living in nature or in cities? Welcome to Japan, seeing is believing! Asakusa has Kujira only restaurant.
No more red meat but fish you are looking for? Welcome to islands country
on western edge of Pacific Ocean! Japanese people tend to be patient to
wait on long queue for tender sushi outside of (old) Tsukiji Fish Market.
Toyosu (new) Market has less waiting lines at SenkyakuBanrai, especially in weekdays. But someone who wish not to wait 2 - 3 hours
(really!!!) to taste best-sushi-ever-in-your-life at Sushi-Dai (quality 9 price 8), you may taste the similar (quality 8 - 9 price 3
- 5) without waiting at the following restaurants in Asakusa and nearby,
and of course much better in cost performance (30 - 50 percent of Sushi-Dai).
Actually local Japanese people know that Asakusa is next to Tsukiji/Toyosu/Adachi
markets (in mind), and many of those famous sushi restraunts have their
branches here in Asakusa. Just some example lists below.
Hidden gem along Keisei Line (between Narita Airport and Asakusa, quality
8 price 3), Sakae Zushi (Sushi) in Tateishi is only standing, no chair, which means what you eat has bare
cost-affective style. Nama-Hotate, Shirako, Anago, Akagai-Himo, Ama-Ebi
are awesome!
Newly opened standing-bar-style sushi restaurant is Sushi Bar Benkei in Kanda (just one stop north of Tokyo station) ....... quality 7 price
2, lunch has great deals. Original restaurant is actually in Niigata, fish
mainly comes from Sado-island between Russia and Japan.
30 seconds walk from Kaminarimon Gate has SushiZammai is widely known not only in Asakusa but whole Japan. The owner is the
man who several times did auction off million dollar Oma-Tuna. One warning,
if you do not wish to feel sin, please avoid ordering live-fish from the
water tank right in front of your table.
Cheap but good (quality 7 price 3) has this chair-less (there is no seat)
but standing style sushi (Tachi-Gui in Japanese), weekday lunch has even
better rate (quality 7 price 2). Some pictures are available at Maguro-Bito (Okachimachi) and Maguro-Bito (Kaminari-mon). It is worth paying international flight only to eat this sushi everyday!
here in Tokyo. Visit Maguro-Bito to be a Tuna-Man!
468 (Yoroppa) in Nishi-Asakusa, finished his 10-year-training at Kyoto Sushi Restaurant,
wanted to introduce the best of Kyoto here in Asakusa. Only 6 seats with
counter table. Bou-zushi (sushi), Shime-saba (Battera), Imo-sui (soup)
cannot be missed.
Unagi (eel) is also well eaten in Asakusa, Unatetsu has Hitsumabushi (not Himatsubushi) is one of your best choice. Yes, best
O-Cha-Zu-Ke (Cha-Zu-Ke) with eel in Tokyo. One menu has three delicious
tastes at once. Irokawa is the one with Binchou-Char-Coal grill. Master passed away early 2014
but family member can do exactly the same, very special once-in-your-life
lunch.
Dojo (not child of eel) is also available here in Asakusa, cannot say which
is the best, Iidaya dozeu (dojou) or Komagata dojou. Better to go Komagata if you were looking for Whale meat. Dojo is actually
loach or weatherfish in English, of course, not Aikido dojo nor Judo dojo
nor Karate dojo.
Even before commercial whaling started July 2019, nearest port from Tokyo
where you meet whale hunters and butchers is Wada/Wadaura (2023 video, warning and advised). Only 26 whales per year, maybe less from 2019 onwards. From Tokyo (same
platform for Tokyo Disney Resort station, Maihama), you may catch JR limited
express to => Awa-Kamogawa or Tateyama, then local train to => Wadaura
station (where you can see and touch real bones of whale on the train platform!).
The port is just short walk distance from the train station, famous rice
terrace field is not far either, and here's the Google Map.

FujinGaho rings bell?
Higashiya Ginza
Nihonbashiya Choube
Ginza Toraya

shops, but locals are appreciating the heavenly made sweets! This column
is to introduce some special tenders not only for your own satisfaction
but also to bring back for your friends/families. What is a life without
sweets! They all go along very well with green tea, actually with genmaicha.

Special mouth-watering of Tokugawa Edo, Tokyo.
Sake and Whisky
Still not famous abroad, quantity very limited, downtown Tokyo has this
brewery in Asakusa Komagata.
KONOHANANO Brewery
World famous brand DASSAI brewed in Yamaguchi, west of Hiroshima, has only
top quality sake as they stopped making cheapo-range. Tokyo has their official shops, one at Tokyo Square Garden Kyobashi on Tokyo Metro Ginza Line, the other
one at Mitsukoshi in Ebisu on JR Yamanote Line. If not once in a month,
maybe once a year, how about tasting, sipping, enjoying a glass of life
at Bar 23? Twenty-three means that you'd throw away the rest of rice (77
percent of rice). Life is to fulfill 100 percent, not only 23 percent (^^)
Everyday happiness you are looking for? Once NHK TV drama took place with
linking Asakusa and Niigata, eel restaurant in Asakusa cannot be referred
without one of the best Sake in Japan. Hakkaisan, literally meaning of
Eight Ocean Mountain, can be seen the best picturesque view from Muikamachi
(literally Six Day Town). Their brewery is in top secret zone, but thanking
to modern technology, you can actually catch the satelite view at Google
