Asakusa Towada

Asakusa Towada (手打ちそば 十和田) is a traditional soba restaurant located at 1-13-4 Asakusa, Taito-ku, Tokyo. Situated just a short 3-minute walk from the A1 exit of Tsukuba Express Asakusa Station and within walking distance from other nearby stations, it is easily accessible for both locals and tourists exploring the historic Asakusa area.

The restaurant specializes in handmade soba noodles, crafted with water sourced from Lake Towada, a famous crater lake in northern Japan. This attention to quality ingredients gives their soba a unique and authentic flavor. The menu features a variety of soba dishes, including morisoba (cold soba with dipping sauce) and tororo soba (soba served with grated yam), as well as set meals like soba paired with mini tempura rice bowls. In addition to soba, they also serve udon, tempura, sashimi, and izakaya-style dishes. For those seeking a more complete experience, the course menu includes appetizers, tempura, sashimi, and more.

The restaurant has a nostalgic, working-class atmosphere that reflects the shitamachi (old downtown) charm of Asakusa. With its reasonable prices (around ¥1,000–¥2,000 for most meals), it’s a great spot for casual dining. Whether you’re looking to enjoy a quick lunch or savor traditional Edo-style soba in a relaxed setting, Asakusa Towada offers an authentic taste of Japanese cuisine in one of Tokyo’s most iconic neighborhoods.
