    BAR dute

    A true hidden-bar — a strange ship-style door appears out of nowhere on the street. The barrier to entry is high, but the owner is genuinely friendly and won't crowd you. A great sense of distance. The otoshi (cover snack) changes daily and is excellent. Turns out the family runs Enshūya — one of my favorite spots — and yes, it's right around the corner. Sofa seats, so groups of three or four work too, and prices are gentle. The music selection here is the best around. If you're looking for fellow music nerds, go.

    — Asakusa Boy

    A genuine hidden bar in East Asakusa — a strange ship-style door appears out of nowhere on the street. The barrier to entry is high, but the owner is unusually friendly without ever crowding the room. Daily-changing otoshi, sofa seats for small groups, gentle prices, and the music selection in Asakusa.
