KAI'S TOKYO FOOD NOTES · ASAKUSA
Asakusa Food Stops
Prices, opening hours and closing days for 10 food stops — on one page. Free.
Snacks, sweets and sit-down meals. Pick a few; you do not need to visit all 10. No sign-up.
Choose a few stops
Tap a shop for hours, closing days, payment methods, dietary information and Google Maps. Prices are for the items or sets shown. Extra orders and any stated charges cost more. "Ask at the shop" means I could not find a price on the official pages I checked. The numbers are not a walking route.
Which stops are close to each other?
Grouped by street address only (chome and block numbers). Stops in the same group share an address block. I have not measured walking times — use Google Maps on the day.

By Kai — Kai's Tokyo Food NotesA Japanese writer based in Chiba, near Tokyo. Kai is a pen name. I compiled this list from the shops' official websites, checked on Oct 29, 2026, and have not visited these shops for this guide. No shop paid to be listed.
Opening times at a glance (official sites, Oct 29, 2026)
| 9:00 | 01 Unana |
| 10:00 | 02 Kokonoe (Japanese top page says 9:30; shop page 10:00) · 03 Menchi · 04 Kagetsudo on weekends & holidays |
| 11:00 | 04 Kagetsudo on weekdays · 05 Suzukien · 07 Imo Pippi · 08 Asakusa Yokocho · 09 Dozeu |

03 and 04 close early when sold out. 04's English page says 9:00; I use the Japanese page.
Vegetarian, halal or allergies? Most official sites do not give dietary information, so dietary information here is limited; each stop shows only what is stated. "Not stated" does not mean it suits your diet. Ask the shop before ordering.
Of the official pages I checked, only Asakusa Imahan's explicitly lists accepted payment methods. Carry some cash.
