About this place
A shrimp dumpling is a good place to start with Kippo’s light sea-bream broth oden. Visitors single it out as a favourite, and it appears on the menu alongside less familiar additions such as chrysanthemum greens, mizuna, wakame seaweed and mozuku. Pair them with classic daikon radish or egg for a bowl that offers something beyond the usual oden selection.
The changing small dishes also earn praise from visitors. The menu lists options such as stewed Kumamoto beef tendon, handmade ganmodoki tofu fritters and lightly grilled mezashi (dried sardines), making it easy to add another bite alongside the oden. Sake choices listed include Niwa no Uguisu Tokubetsu Junmai and Nami no Oto Junmai. It’s a good setting for a relaxed dinner built around oden, with a regional sake or two and a dish that catches your eye.
Reviews describe Kippo as a counter-only restaurant, and mention it as a choice for solo diners and small groups. It opens at 18:00 from Tuesday to Sunday and closes on Mondays.
