About
Asakusa Menchi does one thing: a hot, breaded meat patty built from Kanagawa Koza pork and Japanese black wagyu. The pork brings fine texture and sweet fat, while fresh breadcrumbs form the crisp shell around the juicy center.
Patties are fried at the shop and handed over in a paper sleeve, turning the queue into part of a short street-food ritual. A dab of Japanese mustard cuts through the meat’s sweetness without hiding it.
There is no dining room. The stand sits a few minutes from Kaminarimon and works as a compact stop on an Asakusa walk.
