IKEBUKURO: Sakura Standing Sushi Stand... top 3 in Ikebukuro! But it was just ok...

Ranked within the top 3 sushi spots for lunch and had to check it out.

The average diner pays an average of 1,000 to 2,000 yen per person.

Its in the HOPE CENTER basement shopping area of Ikebukuro Station.

Menu starts from 70yen for items like egg and 100 yen for tuna (maguro).

Went for the 3 piece Hon-Maguro set.

It was a bit mushy... hmm... not so fresh I assume.

Soups were all 100 yen! 

Ika 70 yen

Tuna 100 yen each.

Fish soup Awa-Jiru Miso Soup 100 yen.

Overall ho-hum...  sushi experiences go by so quickly anyways so no sense in having standing sushi. Better to sit down and enjoy the entire experience slowly.  Won't be back but if you are in a hurry then this place will do. No English Menu's here.
