Shinjiko Shijimi Chukasoba Kohaku Ikebukuro

This is the Ikebukuro branch of the popular Zōshiki main store, specializing in Chūka Soba made with Shijimi clams from Lake Shinji, Shimane Prefecture. Located on the first floor of APA Hotel Ikebukuro-Ekikita, it operates continuously until 11:30 PM, making it convenient for late-night meals or as a satisfying end to a drinking session. The signature Chūka Soba (Salt) features a clear soup where the rich umami of the Shijimi clams is fully savored, complemented by thin straight noodles. The chashu comes in three varieties: hanging-roasted pork belly, roast pork, and duck loin, offering a delightful range of textures. Tsuke Soba (dipping noodles) and seasonal limited-time menus are also highly acclaimed. The side dishes, such as large Shumai dumplings, are also substantial. The touch-panel ticket vending machine features photos and English support, making ordering easy for foreign visitors. Cash only.
