Located in the Asakusa Kannonura area, this Western restaurant was founded in 1941 (Showa 16). It is a famous restaurant that represents Asakusa and is frequented by many celebrities.
The shop's specialty is the "Crab Cream Croquette," which has won the gold medal for seven consecutive years in the cream category at the Croquette Grand Prix held by the Japan Croquette Association. The bechamel sauce, made with boiled snow crab juice, has a mellow taste with concentrated crab flavor. The batter, fried in freshly made homemade lard extracted from pork back fat, has an addictively light and crispy texture, and when you put your chopsticks in, the generous amount of sauce oozes out from the thin batter.

This is a family-run restaurant, with the older brother currently managing the restaurant and the younger brother acting as chef. The brothers continue to preserve the traditional flavors established by their grandfather and father.
Another specialty, demi-glace sauce, is a proud flavor of the restaurant that takes two weeks to complete. The rich flavor is created by slowly simmering the umami of beef and vegetables with red wine. It is not added to, but is made to taste the same with the perfect amount, taking into account the weather and temperature at the time. If you want to enjoy the taste of the sauce directly, we recommend the Hayashi rice, which is limited to 10 servings per day.

Comments Local Guide
From dishes using demi-glace sauce to fried dishes, everything you eat will exceed your expectations. The most popular menu item since the restaurant opened is the "sauteed beef," which can be enjoyed with grated daikon radish for a refreshing taste.
