People line up for this stewed offal restaurant: Kitsuneya. Power up with their tripe bowls!

This beef bowl/stewed offal restaurant has been a beloved establishment in Tsukiji since its opening in 1947. There is always a line to get into this popular place. Their famous stewed offal has been passed down 3 generations. The offal is stewed in a Hatcho miso (八丁味噌) base, and they also make sure the offal is fresh. The stew is made using the tsugi-tashi (継ぎ足し) method which means the stew base hasn’t changed since the shop first opened and soup is added to it so it doesn’t run out. Hatcho miso is red, so it looks like it has a strong taste, but it’s actually full of umami. It pairs well with rice, so we recommend the tripe bowl if you’re hungry. They open at 6:30AM, so start off your day full of energy. On a day off, it might be nice to day drink with some beer and stewed offal on the side.
