Shisen Tantanmen Aun Asakusa

This is a branch of a renowned Sichuan Dandan Mian restaurant, whose main store is in Yushima, now open in Asakusa-Tawaramachi. You can choose between two bases, white sesame or black sesame, and opt for either a soup-based or soupless version. The most significant feature is the ability to customize the spiciness and numbing sensation from 0 to 6, offering 7 levels to suit your preference. The White Sesame Dandan Mian boasts a rich, mellow sesame flavor complemented by the heat of chili oil and the numbing tingle of Szechuan peppercorns, pairing perfectly with the medium-thin straight noodles. Toppings of minced pork, dried shrimp, and mizuna add both vibrant color and depth to its taste. The ticket vending machine is equipped with photos and English descriptions, and its excellent accessibility, just a 1-minute walk from Tawaramachi Station, is another appealing point.
