Benitsuru.....Homemade Pancakes is one of the most memorable meals ever. Basic rules. 1. Get there around 8.30am to 9.00am. Book in your reservations. The earlier you get there the more chances you will get in for a booking to suit your time. (I got there at 9.30am and got a booking at 1.15pm for 4 people) Make a booking and do Paolo's favourites in the area... Menchi Katsu is a winner. 2. There are several menu items. Honey butter, Strawberry, Chocolate matcha, seasonal fruit and Banana and Eggs Benedict. You can order basic Honey and Butter with extras. Extras are Whipped cream, ice cream, custard sauce, chocolate sauce, roasted nuts and rum raisin. The will also have a seasonal fruit. For example Strawberry or red grapefruit. 3. He only serves 6 people at a sitting. If you want the best possible pancakes you have ever had.... this is the place. Easily!!! This is on another level to the other pancakes

[@GUZZIE38]

I cannot speak japanese, would it be hard for me to go there and make a reservation?

[@AndyL8]

The lady in charge speaks English. The menu is simple and you wont have any problems. I hunted food for my entire holiday in Japan, watched all of Paolo's videos and found my own favourites. This place is on my number 1 favourites. Im a chef at trade and this place blew me away

[@jelgaerlan8280]

Will they only start taking orders when they open at 10 or can you get there around 8:30 to secure a booking before they open and walk around asukusa whilst you wait for your time?

[@AndyL8]

​@@jelgaerlan8280 The line starts at 8.30am and that is just to wait for a reservation. We got there at 9.00am and we were 20th in line already! (This was in mid April) They open at 10.00am but basically someone comes out at about this time and starts booking everyone in for the day's reservations. By the time this happened, there were about 30 people behind us. Once we secured our booking (11.30am for 4 of us) we walked around and explored Asakusa! It was definitely worth the wait.

[@sunshineandrain5808]

Do you apply the deposit towards the meal, or is that in addition to the meal

[@naveensanders4293]

You guys make the best the cutest Food Vlogger couple on KZbin. Absolutely loved this episode. Paulo is so original.... No pretense, no signature (overdone) moves.... No bad humor. Just love the simplicity about this guy.

[@lastrapsbaseball]

Okay, I followed the Zebra's footsteps, and I can tell you Paolo knows what he is talking about! #6 - Yukari - I went there twice. The first time, I found the chicken to be a bit dry. Not sure if it was the spicy flavour that I ordered the first time, but I did a return leg the following week and ordered their regular fare and thought is was quite good. #2 Sekine - Their Nikuman was excellent. The ladies behind the counter were awesome. Everyday I would go, they had a good laugh because I would always order ichi Nikuman. By the thrid day, they were running to get the Nikuman before I ordered! It was hot as advertised and the bun was fluffy. The meat was juicy as shown in the video. Really nice taste! #1 Benitsuru - How good is this??? If you want a reservation, you need to get in line before 8:30am. I arrived at 8:27 and I was 15 people deep. I paid my 1,000 Yen and got the earliest reservation possible at 10:40!!! The pancakes were top drawer. I got the one with the fried eggs and bacon covered with the sauce. Great to have once...but if this was the daily diet, I would be dead in about 3 weeks! Service was great. People were polite. Couldn't ask for a better experience.

[@starconfections4319]

For benitsuru did they give you back the 1,000 yen when you went back for you reservation? Or is that just the cost of being able to eat there and they don’t give it back lol

[@shannonwittman950]

Another great video, Paolo! I like that you kept your interactions with the shopkeepers in the video. Most other vloggers don't do that, but I feel it expands and authenticates what you're experiencing. Also I enjoy hearing "the home language" spoken. I began watching this to see the pancakes (my gosh!! the pancakes!!!) ... but now I think my favorite segment is when you tasted the onigiri from the shop called Yadoroku. Seaweed is not one of my favorite foods but I'm always ready eat it and to learn how it can be prepared. Thank you!
