Asahi is a Japanese-style Chinese restaurant with a rich history spanning over 100 years. Originally from the Nihonbashi area, this Tokyo secret hidden gem food spot tragically burnt down during the war but was later rebuilt here in one of Asakusa’s hidden back streets, just behind the iconic Senso-ji Temple. And now this hidden gem is run by a father and son duo serving lines of locals each and every day. The owner, Ueki san, took over this Japanese food ship from his father when he was 29 years old making him the 4th generation owner in his family. But he actually, started his career at the age of 16, studying under his grandfather’s friend at a traditional Japanese cuisine restaurant in Shimane prefecture. After which he worked in other industries to gain more life experience before setting back down here. Japanese-style Chinese restaurants like Asahi are known in Japan as MACHI-CHUKA, directly translated Town and Chinese. It’s origin traces back to the 1600s when it arrived in Japan’s Nagasaki area during the Edo period but through time underwent a gradual evolution to suit Japanese tastes.

Hi Pablo, can you do halal street food in Japan? Thank you 😀
Let's cookout, Paolo.
Awesome content, as always! Greetings from Brazil.
Everytime I hear "menma" I think about "Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day" and I tear up a bit.
"I'm the sexy man from the chicken store" If that isn't on his business card, he's gotta do it now.
His T shirt seems a bit too small
Having Japanese small businesses featured on your channel fells like a win-win to me. I hope more offer to appear on your channel!
Misinformation
✌️😋👍
Is there any Filipino restaurants in Tokyo? If there is, I think it would be great to do day in a life video on a Filipino restaurant. Or maybe that popular Model/RC car company Tamiya.
Anyone else getting a Food Wars vibe from this episode
Can you please stop your English translation / commentary with words like "dope" and "no cap". It's so out of context and cringe AF that it spoils what are actually an interesting and informative videos.
Had to do a double take when he said "Those are some fresh noods" when talking about the noodles LOL
I love your attitude towards life, wishing you well.
love your behind the counter series!!
Pops is so chill, lol. Thats a dude you could really have as a drinking buddy.
Food looks good 😋😋
Another great video! 🎉

A Japanese Styled restaurant sounds pretty cool, must have some twists to their cuisine. Another amazing Behind the Counter video Paolo, cant wait for the next one.
You should do a video on Mexican food to see how it’s made differently than Mexico.😊
I'm sure the opinion of a silly American doesn't mean much, but I truly appreciate your "behind the counter" videos! Thank you for sharing with us!
New Paolo video? Time to order takeout and watch!!!
any halal restaurants in Japan?
Just amazing I love this series among others that you have!
Absolutely love these behind the counter videos thank you Paolo! Watching from New Zealand.
