Yakitori Omino Tokyo

Yakitori Omino sits in Oshiage, a five-minute walk from the Tokyo Skytree. The restaurant holds a Michelin star and specializes in traditional Japanese grills.

Most visitors to Sumida City stop at the nearby Tokyo Solamachi for the convenience, but Omino is worth the detour for its focus on the craft of the grill. While the room runs smart and elegant, the intent here is singular: precision cooking that ignores the trends found in the larger commercial plazas. It is quieter than the high-traffic dining options surrounding the Skytree, offering a deliberate pace that justifies the walk from the base of the tower.
