Mukan Ikebukuro
むかん 池袋
Overview
This is a franchise store of "Mukan," a restaurant in Nakano-sakaue known for being difficult to get a reservation at. Their signature Oyster Shio Ramen offers an authentic experience where the rich umami of oysters directly surges through, all for a reasonable price starting from 900 yen. By dissolving oyster ahijo into the soup midway through, you can enjoy a delightful flavor change. The firm, thin noodles from Mikawaya Seimen perfectly complement the soup, with the refreshing sea aroma of iwanori (rock seaweed) providing an excellent accent. They also offer a Backfat Tonkotsu Ramen. A major draw is the quick service and high table turnover, meaning you won't have to queue for a long time like at the main store. Paper aprons are available upon request from the staff. Please note that the ticket vending machine is Japanese-only and accepts cash only. Located within Rakuen Town Ikebukuro, just a 3-minute walk from Ikebukuro Station.
How to Order
1Before Entering (If there's a queue)
First, observe the customers around you and confirm whether to purchase your meal ticket first or join the queue before purchasing. 2. Purchasing Meal Tickets / Ordering Purchase your meal ticket at the vending machine before being seated. The vending machine displays only in Japanese and accepts cash only (new banknotes are supported). In addition to ramen, you can also choose side dishes such as Kamaage Shirasu-don (boiled whitebait rice bowl) and Niku-don (meat rice bowl). 3. Seating & Receiving Your Order Please take an available counter seat and hand your meal ticket to the staff. If you wish to change to thick noodles, order an extra serving of noodles (kaedama), or need a paper apron, please inform the staff when handing over your ticket.
