Traditional Japanese Kaiseki in Tokyo’s Old Town.

Looking for authentic Japanese cuisine in Tokyo, without the tourist crowds or premium Ginza pricing?

Just one train ride from Asakusa, Tokyo Skytree (Oshiage) or Ueno, is a lively but under-the-radar local neighborhood called Kitasenju. And tucked away here is Asuka, a traditional kaiseki restaurant in Tokyo loved by locals for over 35 years.

It’s one of the few places in Tokyo where you can indulge in seasonal Japanese cuisine in a traditional Japanese atmosphere with retro, old-town charm.

Authentic Kaiseki in Tokyo, the Local Way.

At Asuka, we follow Japan’s microseasons to create a seasonal multi-course Japanese meal that reflects nature and honors the ingredients.

Whether its ikezukuri sashimi, or seasonal simmered vegetables, each dish is built on ingredients sourced from producers across Japan from Hokkaido to Nagasaki’s Goto Islands as well as Tokyo’s Adachi Market.

This is where locals come to enjoy a peaceful meal with family and friends.
