1-1.【Closed in June 2024】Karukaya／かるかや
Karukaya has been operating at Seibu Ikebukuro Main Store since 1968.
Homemade Udon noodles that can be eaten on the roof of a department store.
The whole process is done by hand without using a machine, so the noodles have a firm texture.
Ikebukuro geek love Karukaya
There is a menu with photos, so let’s take a picture and point and order with smile (*￣ー￣*)
1-2.Sanuki Udon Merikenya Ikebukuro store
“Merikenya” is located in the “IKEMEN Kitchen Food Court” next to Ikefukuro at Ikebukuro Station.
IKEMEN has two meanings in Japanese.
One is a nice guy and the other is delicious noodles.
You can enjoy soft and chewy udon noodles from morning till night.
Of course, you can add as many tempura toppings as you like!
Recommended not only for udon lovers but also for tempura lovers.
2.Udon 3 Restaurants at the east exit of Ikebukuro
2-1.Musahi no Udon Uchitate-Ya／武蔵野うどん うちたて家
Uchitateya is a popular restaurant located on Azuma-dori, the gourmet street at the east exit of Ikebukuro Station.

2-2.Suzuriya／うどん処 硯家
Udon Restaurant Suzuriya has two locations: the main store near Minami-Ikebukuro Park, and the branch store in Minami-Ikebukuro along Meiji-dori. You can enjoy standard udon noodles at reasonable prices.
I recommend spicy curry udon at suzuriya.
Not just curryudon
Homemade curry soup is topped on the crispy noodles.
The menu seems to be Japanese only, so let’s go eat with a friend who can use Japanese.
2-3.Maruka／満留賀（まるか）
Proceed along Meiji-dori toward the Toshima Ward Office and the expressway, and you will see it on the left.
I love the lettering on the sign.
Maruka was founded in 1969 and has been loved by the people of Ikebukuro ever since.
It’s not authentic spice curry, it’s a nostalgic curry with pork and dipped in Seiro udon (￣Д￣)ﾉ
2-4.Himokawa Udon Kiryu/ひもかわうどん桐生
Enter Higashi Dori(Street) from the east exit of Ikebukuro Station, pass a UchitateYa(Popular udon restaurant), and continue on until you arrive at Himokawa Udon Kiryu.
This restaurant’s signature menu is “Himokawa Udon,” a local udon noodle dish from Kiryu City, Gunma Prefecture, which is made with super wide noodles.
We recommend the menu you can eat both Himokawa and Udon!
Enjoy the smooth and chewy texture♪

3-2.Curry Udon Hikari Tokyo／カレーうどんひかりTOKYO
After passing through the semi-basement of the building, a two-story house appears.

If you exit Ikebukuro Station West Exit (North), near the old north exit, take Exit 20b, and turn around and you’ll see Yamashita Honki Udon. It’s a chain restaurant, but you can tell they’re serious about their udon. In addition to standard udon such as Kake, Kamayude, Zaru, and Bukkake, they also have original udon dishes such as curry udon, cream udon, and sesame sauce. They’re open 24 hours a day, so you can get delicious udon even in the middle of the night or early in the morning.
Honki means Passionate about udon,Serious about udon.
