Beyond Home, Before Store: Rental Kitchen 'Rinospe Kitchen Asakusa' Opens in Taito City, Tokyo

Rinospe Kitchen Asakusa

Rinospe Inc. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; Representative: Tatsuya Takekoshi) has opened a new location of its rental kitchen brand, 'Rinospe Kitchen,' near Asakusa Station in Taito City, Tokyo.

'Rinospe Kitchen Asakusa' allows users to start food-related businesses immediately, with hourly usage available from just one hour.

Minimal upfront investment required! This flexible 'home-plus-not-quite-store' kitchen enables food service operations with only ingredients brought by users.

Unlike most rental spaces, Rinospe Kitchen Asakusa has already obtained the following permits:

Food Service Business License

Processed Food Manufacturing License

Confectionery Manufacturing License

This makes it ideal for individuals who want to run a restaurant without a physical store, sell homemade sweets as a side business, or open their dream café.

Perfect counter setup for café or restaurant use

Also ideal for the trending 'pop-up store' concept

Freelance chefs and cooks are increasingly using rental kitchens as 'pop-up locations.' Traditional pop-up dining often requires guests to visit a private home, which can be a barrier. With a rental kitchen, this becomes a seamless and professional experience.
At Rinospe Kitchen Asakusa, a built-in 3-burner induction heater—first for the brand—has been installed. This allows multiple cooking tasks to run simultaneously, improving efficiency even for professional-grade cooking.

Additionally, with 43 locations across Tokyo, Rinospe Kitchen offers users a wide range of options based on proximity to stations and group size.

First brand-wide installation of built-in 3-burner induction heater

A secret-base-like rental kitchen that creates an extraordinary atmosphere

Today, even izakaya all-you-can-drink plans cost around ¥5,000 per person for two hours, drawing attention. Seating is often limited to two hours, and for those seeking a quieter experience, surrounding noise can be distracting. As value-conscious customers find izakayas less appealing, rental kitchens are gaining attention as a viable alternative.

The minimalist, industrial-style design creates a unique, secret-base-like atmosphere—perfect for crafting memorable experiences.

With striking interiors and fully equipped facilities, users can prepare their favorite snacks and dishes while smartly managing food costs—meeting even the most ambitious needs.

Other possible uses include:

Sublet food businesses

Prep kitchen for food trucks

Cooking and prep before market stalls

E-commerce sales of homemade confections

Cooking classes and workshops

Operational base for delivery services like Demae-kan

Preparation and trial runs for membership-based or sublet cafés

Filming cooking videos for YouTube and social media

A 'home-plus-not-quite-store' kitchen that helps realize dreams previously abandoned due to lack of space—this is Rinospe Kitchen.

Ideal location for inbound tourism business

Rinospe Kitchen Asakusa is also perfect for offering 'experience services' where foreign tourists cook and enjoy Japanese home-style meals. Many locations are already being used by users providing culinary experiences for international visitors.

The excellent accessibility from Asakusa Station, a major tourist destination, is a strong advantage for inbound business.

Additionally, to support entry into the inbound market, the following services are provided:

Support for registering cooking class addresses on Tripadvisor

Assistant interpreters for those not fluent in English
