Asakusa: A Global Foodie Destination!

Asakusa’s charm lies in its blend of old and new. While you’ll find countless fantastic Japanese restaurants, a growing number of international eateries are making their mark, offering authentic flavors from around the world. Perfect for when you’re craving something different after enjoying your Kimono rental!

Our Top Pick: Mookata Asakusa (Thai BBQ & Hot Pot)

When our international staff and customers want a fun, social, and filling meal, Mookata Asakusa is the place to be! This restaurant brings the authentic “Thai BBQ” experience to the heart of Tokyo.

The Best of Both Worlds: Mookata combines Korean-style BBQ and Chinese-style hot pot. You grill marinated meats on the dome top while vegetables and noodles simmer in the soup moat around the edge.
Interactive Dining: It’s a DIY experience! Much like Japanese Yakiniku, you cook at your own pace right at your table, making it perfect for groups.
Rich, Authentic Flavors: As the meat grills, the juices drip into the broth, making it tastier by the minute. Don’t forget their signature spicy dipping sauce (Nam Jim)!

A Quick Health Tip from Blez Pharmacy

Thai BBQ can be wonderfully spicy and rich! If your stomach isn’t used to the “Thai heat” or the combination of grilled meats and hot soup, we recommend:

Antacids: Pick some up at BLEZ before your meal to prevent heartburn.
Digestive Support: We stock various Japanese and international aids to keep your digestion smooth throughout your trip.

Don’t hesitate to visit us—we speak English and are always happy to help with your travel health needs!

Conclusion

Asakusa truly offers a world of flavors! While you should definitely savor the local sushi, don’t miss the chance to try Mookata Asakusa for a unique and delicious international experience that feels just like being in Bangkok.

A Special Note from our Team: > “I have tried this restaurant myself, and it was very nice! It has a very strong ‘Thai sense’ that you will immediately understand if you have ever been to Thailand. I even have Thai friends who work there! It’s a truly authentic experience—please enjoy your stay in Japan!”
