These are sooo nice little cakes with sweet bean inside i believe mmmmmm
Some more food pictures! I've been trying to eat as little stuff as i would find in uk as possible, but i have been to japanese style burger and fast food places so some stuff will be familiar 😊

Most of this stuff is the cheapest i can find too so when i get a job i can be even more experimental!

I've done a quick head count and i'm pretty sure that there are more restaraunts here than people to eat in them so will take me a while to get through all of them but i have tried several japanese staples now such as

tempura: battered veg n fish n stuff with noodles rice and accompaniments

udon/soba: quite thick noodles with stuff to mix in like veg eggs tempura again or fish roe

okonomiyaki and monja yaki: kind of pizza type thing with cabbage and assorted add ons

I also went to a kaitenzushi or conveyer belt sushi place! It was wicked especially as there were some tourists in there who spoke no japanese and got all mixed up with the bill and seating and general method of eating at one of these places! I felt like a pro as i ordered in nihongo! Victory for me!

Plus they have a great 100yen store right near me so i can buy lots of crazy snacks and stuff from there!

AWESOME

No. 52 (Mos Burger)
The one you said not too sure is "Korean BBQ beef" burger. I cannot remember exactly which takeaway restaurant (may be Domino's), but I have had some Korean BBQ pizza at one of my friend's house in Kyoto (telephone-oedered & delivered) and it was REALLY tasty!!

Yoshinoya restaurant

Other good budget eateries
If you fancy some Italian-ish food for a change, try Saizeriya Restaurant. I do not know if they have any of their branch in Asakusa district, but they are really good value for money. Also, look out for local izakaya, some of which might offer lunchtime service for visitors and local workers.
