Restaurant Kikuzushi 

A shop with a history of over 100 years, and its Asakusa location unchanged for over 80. For lunch, you can opt for a sushi spread (¥2100) or a 10-piece set meal (¥2100). Their specialty, however, is the Anago Donburi (¥1500~) of which they offer a “premium” version  (¥2700).

Restaurant Sushi Zanmai Asakusa Kaminarimon Store 

Known in Japan as “King of Bluefin Tuna” Sushi Zanmai is the standard for reasonably priced, conveniently located, and always delicious sushi. Accessibility both in terms of location and language is important at Zanmai so you can expect a short walk from the station and multi-language menus. The company CEO always makes sure to buy the first Bluefin Tuna that hits the Japanese market every year.


Restaurant  Yukikage 

Yukikage specializes in chicken broth ramen. The chicken base doesn’t change, but you’re free to customize flavor from creamy to light (¥980~). Side dishes also include chicken gyoza (5pc for ¥280).


Restaurant Asadori
