Kitsuneya Tripe Stew, Tripe stew restaurant in Tsukiji Market, Japan.
Kitsuneya is a tripe stew restaurant at Tsukiji Market serving horumon don, a tender beef offal stew served over steaming rice. The small counter has limited seating and sits near the market entrance.
The restaurant began as an alternative dining choice in Tsukiji Market, offering traditional offal dishes that stood apart from the market's typical seafood focus. This specialization found its own place among the market's many food options.
The restaurant shows how Japanese cooking values using all parts of an animal, with organ meats prepared in ways that turn them into something worth seeking out. You can watch this philosophy in action at the counter while your meal is prepared.
The restaurant operates Monday through Saturday with morning hours, located at the market entrance for easy access. The space is small and fills up quickly, so arriving early gives you the best chance of getting a seat.
You can customize your order by adding raw egg to the stew or requesting it served over tofu instead of rice, with barley tea and optional chili flakes on the side. These choices let you shape the dish to your taste.
