About this place
Tucked away in the backstreets near Kaminarimon in Asakusa, the kissaten Nuts offers unpretentious refreshment in an everyday neighborhood setting. Prepared freshly on order, the hot coffee is reasonably priced yet carries satisfying depth, making it an easy pause during a walk through the area. Alongside an iced coffee with pronounced acidity and body, the counter serves a nostalgic, gently sweetened iced cafe au lait, as well as retro cafe standards like kombucha kelp tea and banana juice.
The food selection reliably satisfies bigger appetites. Pasta options feature classic Neapolitan and meat sauce spaghettis, backed by rice dishes including beef curry, omurice, and ginger pork donburi. These meal choices come paired with hot coffee or tea, rounding out a hearty table. In the morning, sets such as thick toast or mixed sandwiches include a mini salad and a drink, offering a calm start to the day.
Table service makes the dining area easy to enjoy at leisure, whether dropping in alone or sitting down for a quiet break. Payment is cash-only, so it pays to keep some coins on hand while exploring Asakusa.
