IKEBUKURO: Toriikizoku in college town Ikebukuro... short walk away from top ranked Saint Paul's Rikkyo University. (Sony RX100, iPhone Xs)

 

As often as I frequent Ikebukuro I didnt realize there was a Toriki steps away from Ikebukuro Global Ring outdoor theater.  Plan was to visit Kura sushi but the wait was 30-60min. 


In the same building there is a Ginza Lion pub and the Dubliners Irish Pub. 


I arrived at 8:45pm so no waiting list.  Manager asked if I would like to be seated at the counter or at a small booth for 2. 


Nice photo menu so you dont have to scroll too much on the tablet menu. 

3 languages but give the English translation a go... its kinda off.



360yen Mega Kinmugi all me... Japans 3rd beer. 

Rather spacious Toriki... noticed alot both local and foreign students here.




Tori Ten  (Tempura) of course!

Took about 10 minutes to arrive but made to order!

Plum sauce.

Crispy on the outside and chicken sooo juicy. A must!

Free condiments.

Sansyo, Ichimi and a little bowl of soy sauce. 




Spring specials!  Shitake mushroom with meat! 




The shitake mushroom was pretty thick! What a deal for 360 yen! 



There was so much Kpop on the BGM.  Somebody here must be a fan.





Plan was to just order 3 items to enjoy that Senbelo way of life... Sen is 1000 yen and belo means tipsy. 

I actually forgot my wallet and asked the manager if I could Paypay him the money and then he could cover my bill.... Luckily Toriki accepts Paypay!  Overall I really liked this Toriki. I noticed it was much cooler in the entrance area versus the back of the restaurant.
