Gempin Asakusa

Came here with two of my family member and there is reservations for those who wanted that. We walked in and waited until there is a table. Got 9 course meal and wow there a lot of food. We had to tell them to stop with it as it was more than we can handle. Food is flavorful. Try it out.

Fugu was a experience that shouldn't be missed.

Had to try fugu when we were in Tokyo. Didn't know what the expect, it was a true experience. However, the service of this location left alot to be desired. Our waiter took forever to even greet us and did not smile at all. Other staff were much more attentive and friendly. Overall, it was an okay experience, a once in a life time sort of thing.

This is my second visit. Still as good as before. Fresh fugu served. And staffs are very nice and will explained every what is the dishes served and guide us which sauce to match with. I had attached some of their menu set below.

Food was good. Price was right.

Great restaurant to enjoy puffer fish with good quality for reasonable price. I recommend you to reserve online, otherwise you have to wait for long sometimes. But don't worry, you can reserve same restaurants, Genpin in Ueno or Kanda. Dinner course starts from ¥3,980 without tax.You should also enjoy fin Sake(ひれ酒) which has very nice flavor.Enjoy your Japan trip!

Fugu was nice, as expected if you are experienced. However it feels much more like a cheaper establishment compared to some others, as staff won't have the time to pay attention to your pot all the time. Also doesn't have proper non-smoking area apparently, had lots of second hand smoke from nearby smoking area.

This is a must try once in a life time Japanese cuisine - pufferfish prepared by licensed fugu cooks. A taste that attracts 930,000 people a year for this dish. Out of the 22 kinds of pufferfish that are permitted for consumption by law in Japan, “torafugu” is recognized as the highest grade which this restaurant serves.We went to this restaurant for pufferfish dinner, we order a 5-course meal which only cost JPY 4,298 with tax included, very good price. The meal includes thin sliced tiger puffer sashimi; parboiled tiger puffer skin sashimi; tiger puffer bbq; deep fried tiger puffer; and last of all tiger puffer hot-pot, all explain and prepared at the table by their staff. The freshness of the ingredients brings out the natural flavours, it is also rich in collagen and protein, and has less calories and fat compared to other fish.
