Northern hub with the densest tonkotsu ramen run in the city, Chinatown-adjacent Hokkaido seafood izakaya and the Sunshine City basement food court.
Ikebukuro is Tokyo's northern hub and holds the densest tonkotsu ramen run in the city. Hokkaido seafood izakaya cluster near the Chinatown-adjacent blocks, and the Sunshine City basement food court covers everything else. It is a volume-eating district in the best sense.
The full Ikebukuro food guide is still being researched. In the meantime, see the Tokyo food guide for the places we cover, or the neighbourhood index.
