About this place
When dusk settles over Asakusa 2-chome, Rastaman's Cafe opens its doors to an easygoing beat. It is an unpretentious, casual bar where you can unwind, letting reggae rhythms set the pace while sipping good drinks and enjoying generously spiced home cooking.
The natural place to begin is the house specialty: bone-in jerk chicken made with domestic chicken. Grilled to a deep aroma, it yields plenty of savory depth with each bite, naturally calling for another sip from your glass. The food menu goes well beyond, offering comfortingly hot plates and drinking snacks like signature nachos baked with melting cheese, German-style Jama-pote potatoes, garlic tamari-marinated cream cheese, and Ital gratin.
In the glass, a refreshing house mojito or a cocktail blended from Setoda lemon and homemade honey-lemon syrup hits just the right note. Behind the counter, the rum collection spans distinctive bottles such as Kraken, Appleton, and Sailor Jerry, which are equally satisfying poured over ice or mixed with cola. Cold beers, spirits like whisky, and the house Ryukyu-origin Acerolasta ensure there is always a pour to match your mood.
Welcoming patrons late into the night and on toward dawn, the space works as naturally for a quiet nightcap at the counter as it does for friends gathering around music and shisha. Warm hospitality and mellow tunes make it an effortless haven for lingering over Asakusa's night hours.
