About this place
Strolling through Asakusa, the gentle, savory aroma of dashi broth drifting from Kimizuka's storefront makes an inviting pause. Tender daikon radish, shirataki noodles, tofu, and chikuwa simmer slowly in the broth, warming diners up after a day on their feet. An omakase platter of 7 assorted items is also available for those who want a varied, comforting taste of classic home-style cooking in one go.
For a heartier appetite, the omurice is a longtime favorite among regulars and visitors alike. A thin layer of egg wraps around moist ketchup fried rice loaded with chicken and onions, channeling nostalgic, old-school diner comfort. The broader menu covers familiar casual standards, including a satisfying katsudon with a light broth, straightforward soy sauce chashumen, and stir-fried yakisoba.
Beyond full meals, guests often drop in for a quick drink, pairing beer or Hoppy with smaller plates such as stewed beef offal (gyu nikomi), gatsu-sashi (pork stomach), or fried horse mackerel (aji fry). Seating options include Western-style tables and traditional raised tatami booths, with payment accepted in cash only. Unfussy and welcoming, it captures the easygoing spirit of an everyday shitamachi diner.
