Asakusa Monjayaki

Hi Chowhounds,
Going to drop an impossible question on all of you:
I am trying to remember the name of a restaurant I ate at in Asakusa about 11 years ago. It was a monjayaki place, full tatami. Seemed like it was famous. There are pictures of a famous writer (who may have been the owner?) from what appears to be 80 or so years ago.

Does that ring a bell with anyone?

Thanks

    Try clicking on the links to the right of the red dots and see if you can recognize any of the shops. Some of them have interior shots - as well as a map of where they are from the main temple.

    Hope that helps!

        Funny, I walked by the shop on Monday and thought this may have been what you were looking for.
