Hanging its noren near Asakusa Station, Chinese Restaurant Botan is a long-standing neighborhood Chinese diner with a history dating back to 1948. Among its numerous menu items, the signature omurice—ketchup-rich chicken rice wrapped in a thin sheet of egg—is especially popular. Its rich flavor with a tang of acidity is filling and deeply loved both as a meal and as a way to finish off drinks. The restaurant also offers an extensive array of à la carte dishes that pair perfectly with beer, such as juicy gyoza fried to a crisp and stir-fried liver with garlic chives coated in a sweet-and-savory sauce. The interior, retaining a strong Showa atmosphere, features counter seats and table seats, allowing solo diners to spend time comfortably while soaking in the vitality of the shitamachi downtown area. With a budget of around ¥1,000, it is an ideal spot for lunch during sightseeing or casual daytime drinking.
