Petit Futé

"I must say, the food is delicious. The room is very beautiful, mixing stone and wood. Oden is the specialty here. It is a fish-based broth in which various ingredients are cooked: konyaku, a kind of tuber gelatin, giusuji, made from beef tendon or gamodoki, made from mushrooms."

"5 Places to Enjoy Authentic Japanese Food in Asakusa: Otafuku - Otafuku always prepares more than 30 kinds of ingredients for its Oden, which is simply outstanding. Here, you choose which ingredients you want in your soup, and pay for each thing that you add. The restaurant has a great atmosphere, with a beautiful view from the window, and is a great spot to relax while enjoying oden and some drinks!"

"Top 9 Oden Shops for a Piping Hot Bowl of Oden in Tokyo: Otafuku - Otafuku has been around Asakusa for more than a century. The recipes here haven’t changed at all and they are still as popular as ever. The flavors here are not overpowering and you’ll always come back for more. So, if you are ever in Asakusa, you must make your way here!"

Time Out Tokyo

"Otafuku has been serving oden since the Meiji era, in an old-school setting complete with paper lanterns and well-kept garden. All those years of experience show, too: the oden soup is light, with a delicate flavour that seems to have a little more to it than the standard bonito and kombu."

Greg Lane

"Otafuku is perhaps Tokyo’s most popular oden restaurant. If you’re expecting it to be really cheap, because it’s oden, then you may be a little surprised with the prices. However, it’s still great value and you’ll be able to try lots of ingredients you probably haven’t had in oden before."

Maggie Sim

"We had such a simple, yet satisfying (and relatively inexpensive) meal that I would definitely want to go back to Otafuku again on our next visit to Tokyo."
