Located just a 3-minute walk from K’s House Tokyo Oasis, Asakusa Udon is a casual udon restaurant that opened in October 2025. If you’re looking for a very local breakfast spot, it would be a good option!
As of December 2025, the restaurant is open continuously from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., making it a rare and valuable spot in Asakusa where you can enjoy authentic local food early in the morning.
Orders are placed at a ticket machine near the entrance. (※cash payment only at this moment) Cashless payment options will be available in the future.
The touch-screen system supports four languages: Japanese, English, Chinese, and Korean, so international visitors can order with confidence.
Choose between hot or cold udon, upgrade to a large size for an additional ¥150 if you are hungry, and you can also select extra toppings directly from the screen.
A variety of tempura is available, either as a set or ordered individually.
You will find counter seating and standing tables on the first floor, and the second floor offers comfortable table seating.
The restaurant has a modern and stylish exterior, and it was my first time seeing a standing-eat area in such a sleek udon restaurant.
With a variety of seating options, it caters to everyone from those who want a quick meal to those who prefer to relax and take their time.
The staff are friendly, and the welcoming atmosphere makes it easy for solo female diners to feel comfortable, which is another reason I highly recommend this place.
By the way, standing seats are often used by “salarymen” (Japanese office workers) especially when they are very busy. Why don’t you try it if you like to feel like being them??
Once seated, we were served bowls of Udon after 5 mins. A bowl of beautifully clear, golden tempura crumbs is also served on the side, so feel free to add them to your udon and enjoy the change in flavor and texture. 
We ordered:
- Beef Shigure Udon (¥1,580) – the most popular item (right)
- Sudachi Udon (¥880) – with sliced citrus (middle)
- Kitsune Udon (¥900) – with deep fried tohu cade (left)
The handmade Sanuki-style udon features thick noodles with a firm, chewy texture.
The beef shigure udon is served not with soup, but with a rich, sweet soy-based sauce that coats the noodles perfectly, topped with an egg yolk. The combination is indulgent and very satisfying. While the regular size is filling, we recommend a large portion for adult men who want an extra amount.
The kitsune udon and sudachi udon both feature a fragrant, flavorful broth.
The sudachi udon, topped with thinly sliced sudachi citrus, offers a refreshing aroma and a light, clean taste that makes it easy to keep eating.
Since three staff members visited together, we also ordered a generous selection of tempura:
- Premium Tempura Set (¥1,000) with shrimp, squid, and chicken
- Assorted Vegetable Tempura (¥430) (3 kinds, chef’s choice)
The tempura pairs wonderfully with the udon broth, but it’s also delicious with salt.💡
The chicken tempura was especially impressive—thick, juicy, and filling, with a light and crispy batter.
“Kitsune udon” is a dish you’ll see at almost every udon shop in Japan. Even though “Kitsune” means fox in Japanese, the dish doesn’t contain anything related to foxes.
Do you know why it’s called kitsune udon?
One popular theory behind the name kitsune (fox) udon is that aburaage (deep-fried tofu) was believed to be a favorite food of foxes, the messengers of the Inari deity.
Another reason is its appearance—the golden-brown “kitsune color” and the way the tofu curls slightly are said to resemble a fox.
Our staff enjoyed Asakusa Udon for lunch, but its light and comforting flavors make it an excellent choice for breakfast on chilly mornings as well. Depending on the time of day, the restaurant can be relatively quiet, allowing you to enjoy your meal in a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere.
There are very few local restaurants in Asakusa that open as early as 7:00 a.m., so this is a great opportunity—especially for travelers with a short stay—to experience more authentic Japanese food.
If you visit, be sure to share your thoughts with our Oasis staff. We’d love to hear what you think!
