Located across from the popular Asakusa area, Sumida restaurants offer a great mix outside of the usual traditional Japanese food you would find in Tokyo. From dining in a nice café with a great view of the river, or trying international cuisine, Sumida restaurants offer these and a whole lot more!
Sumida Restaurants, Tokyo’s River Side
There are plenty of restaurants located around the Sumida area that spans from Tokyo Skytree towards Asakusa, but if there is one Sumida restaurant that you must visit, it has to be Ramen Kipposhi!
Ramen Kipposhi
Located near Honjo-Asumabashi Station, Ramen Kipposhi has something on the menu that is sure to make you look twice! Inspired by the Hawaiian sea, the owner and chef at Kipposhi created a Blue Ramen that is made from chicken stock which has become very popular on Instagram!
The ramen itself is low in fat, and even though it looks really bright blue, the flavor is just what you would expect to come from a bowl of Ramen! So, swing on by and try it for yourself soon! They are open from 11:30am to 3:00pm for lunch and from 6:00pm to 10:00pm for dinner and closed on Wednesdays.
