Tucked into Asakusa 4-chome, the izakaya Mensore serves goya chanpuru tossed with crisp bitter melon, soft egg, and savory sausage, paired with cold bottled beer.
01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
Tucked into an alleyway off Senzoku-dori in Asakusa 4-chome, the izakaya Mensore makes an easy case for starting with its signature goya chanpuru. The bitter melon retains a pleasant, crisp bite, its gentle bitterness offset by soft scrambled egg and the savory seasoning of browned sausage. Served piping hot alongside a well-chilled bottle of beer, the combination of mild bitterness and rich flavor makes for a refreshing pairing.
To round out an evening of drinks, many regulars opt for the fried rice, appreciated for its unpretentious, home-style comfort. Counter seating lines the interior, making it just as welcoming for solo diners dropping in for a quick bite or a drink. Welcomed by a friendly, hospitable owner, the atmosphere remains relaxed, and you may find local patrons unwinding with karaoke as the night goes on.
Mensore is open Tuesday through Friday from 17:30 to 23:00, and on Saturday and Sunday from 14:00 to 22:00. The shop is closed on Mondays. Payment is cash only, so it is best to come prepared.
