Asakusa Kototoi

Located in the Kannon-ura area north of Senso-ji Temple, approximately a 10-minute walk from Asakusa Station (Tobu Isesaki Line and Tokyo Metro), Asakusa Kototoi is a cozy Japanese diner and small dish (koryori) restaurant. The interior is configured exclusively with counter seating, where the owner provides attentive service in a calm and welcoming atmosphere.

The restaurant consistently serves proper, high-quality set meals during both lunch and evening hours (after 5:00 PM). The "Omakase Teishoku" (chef's choice set meal)—which allows guests to combine two types of set meals or request specific ingredients—delivers meticulous preparation and a highly satisfying dining experience. The menu is exceptionally broad, offering a diverse array of set meals including their flavorful "Miso Katsu Set Meal" (available with either pork or chicken), miso ginger pork, hamburger steaks, tempura, and rice bowls.

True to the menu’s note, "We feature numerous creative dishes using Hatcho miso," the kitchen prepares standout miso specialties alongside a wide range of pub dishes such as small plates, skewers, noodles, and salads that pair perfectly with alcohol. Whether you are looking for a proper, alcohol-free dinner spot at night or a casual tavern to wind down at the counter after work, this versatile diner seamlessly accommodates any daily routine.
