Gatten, which has branches all over Asakusa, is a neighborhood yakitori joint. I would not exactly call it a top spot, but you can eat and drink happily for about 2,000 yen a head, so it holds its own.
Otoshi
Simple greens in place of a salad.
Tan (tongue)
Good quality for the price.
Negima
The grilled leek is seriously good.
Hatsu (heart)?
Well.. not at the level of a famous place, but perfectly decent.
Reba (liver)
Tebasaki (chicken wings)
Negima again
When you visit as a tourist, you tend to go after places that are pricey but reliably delicious, but for someone like me who has lived in this neighborhood for a long time, there are times you end up at good-value places like this too. Food like this is fine once in a while.
