Amairo

Good spot for a tempura fix

Amairo is a restaurant located in the Asakusa area of Tokyo, under 5 minutes on foot from Asakusa Station. If you have friends or family visiting you in Japan from overseas, I would recommend a visit here if you're exploring the Asakusa area. There are a few reasons why I liked it here -- they have English descriptions on their menus, the prices are very reasonable for what you get, and the menu is pretty friendly towards foreigners who might not be comfortable with some elements of Japanese cuisine (e.g. raw stuff). I feel like tempura is such a foreigner-friendly food that it's always a hit when I am showing international visitors around.
