Toshima City, Tokyo, Japan｜IKEMEN KITCHEN IKEBUKURO

Very affordable

Underground of Ikebukuro station? The food court. I ate Neapolitan, and it was delicious. Because of the location, it always feels crowded.

IKE Noodle KITCHEN, a noodle shop for Ikebukuro Station users, is commonly known as ``IKE Noodle.'' A collection of noodle shops selling soba, Sanuki udon, Neapolitan, takoyaki, and other noodle shops other than ramen (there is an Ippudo store across the street). The food court format makes it easy to use. It's ridiculed on the internet for being "full of physical labor-related carbohydrates," but it's an important nutrient. People who work, people looking for jobs, people studying, mothers who are shopping for dinner, etc. all find it useful. Among them, Sobaichi, which has many fans, is a soba restaurant that boasts the flavor of ``Nihachi Soba'' (80% buckwheat flour) until a few years ago. Due to the current times, Nihachi may have become difficult to find, and has disappeared from the store's name and advertisements, but fans who remember how it goes down their throats still continue to visit. This is a restaurant that stands out from the so-called station soba, where you can enjoy a delicate and refreshing soba flavor. In the Ikebukuro area, stand-up soba restaurants are closing one after another. When I felt lonely, there was a cool noodle sobaichi in the middle of the street.
