Kintame

Asakusa & Sumida River


This branch of the famous Kyoto-based pickle shop provides tastings of its traditional preserves done in a variety of ways, including with salt, vinegar miso and soy sauce. At a communal table you can also try its filling and good-value meals of fish marinated in sake lees (the deposits produced during the alcohol's fermentation).

At the end of the shopping street leading to Fukagawa Fudō-dō, it's a good place for lunch when visiting the temple; note last orders are at 4.50pm.
