Located in a back alley just a short distance from the bustling Hoppy Street and about a 3-minute walk from Tsukuba Express Asakusa Station, "fette panissa" is a cozy wine stand. The space offers a casual and welcoming atmosphere, featuring open terrace seating facing the street and a standing-style drinking area.
The signature dish, "Fette," is a traditional street food originating from the Liguria region in northwestern Italy. It is made from a base of chickpea flour mixed with water and salt, which is then thinly sliced (fette) and fried to a crisp in oil. While it shares a visual resemblance to French fries, it features a distinct flavor profile: fragrant and crispy on the outside, yet moist and fluffy on the inside, bringing out the unique savory umami of the beans.
A major draw of the establishment is the ability to casually enjoy a single glass of beer or Italian wine, carefully selected by the owner, alongside a freshly fried, piping-hot serving of fette. It serves as an ideal back-alley wine bar, perfect for a quick break between sightseeing or as a stop during a night of bar-hopping in Asakusa.
