What this guide is for.
Taste Japan Guide helps visitors choose what to eat first, then use a focused map when it is time to pick a place.
Product shape
Guides first. Map second. Better decisions on the street.
The map is not meant to be an endless directory. It is paired with short food guides so each category feels easier to choose from.
Food Map
Filter the area.
Place Decision
Choose a place.
Asakusa MVP
Focused before it gets bigger.
The current product focuses on Asakusa and a small set of food categories. More areas should only come after the core flow works well.
Check hours before you go.
Restaurant hours, menus, prices, and holidays can change. Use Taste Japan Guide to narrow choices, then confirm details on Google Maps or the restaurant source.
How we curate
Carefully chosen spots. Not every place.
Curation is about making the map easier to use, not claiming one universal best ranking.
Not a ranking
Useful beats exhaustive.
A high review count can help, but the shortlist is built around food clarity, map usefulness, and visitor decision-making.
Food clarity
The spot should clearly match a food category visitors can understand.
Map usefulness
The location should make sense for an Asakusa food map, not just a city-wide list.
Visitor fit
The choice should be readable for first-time visitors without local food knowledge.
Review signal
Ratings and reviews help, but they do not replace category fit and practical value.
Practical details
Hours, access, menu clarity, and trip context matter when the map is used on the street.
What we leave out
Less noise on purpose.
Places with information that is too unstable to recommend clearly.
Spots that are hard to explain or place in a useful food category.
Listings chosen only because they are famous, sponsored, or highly rated.
Ads and partners should not decide inclusion.
Sponsored placements or affiliate links, if added later, should be visibly labeled and kept separate from curation criteria.
