Mitsuyado Seimen Ikebukuro Sunshine 60 Dori branch at Ikebukuro, Tokyo

Handmade noodle tsukemen shop on Ikebukuro's Sunshine 60 Dori, known for yuzu-scented dipping broth.

Mitsuyado Seimen is a noodle craft chain devoted to completely handmade noodles produced in-house at each branch, and its Ikebukuro Sunshine 60 Dori branch sits on the second floor of the Zuiko Building, about four minutes on foot from Ikebukuro station. The shop's obsession is a noodle born from hundreds of trials with domestic wheat, delivering smooth throat-feel, springy chew and the natural sweetness and aroma of the grain. The signature is a rich tsukemen whose dipping broth, slowly simmered from vegetables and pork bones then layered with fish and dried seafood umami, clings beautifully to the chewy strands, and yuzu from top-grade domestic fruit lifts the whole bowl; ramen, limited noodles and a drink-friendly evening menu round out the offerings. The thirty-seat counter-and-table room is non-smoking and open from 11:00 to 23:30 with no fixed holidays. Run by a Hosei University graduate who has researched delicious noodles for over twenty years, the branch suits tsukemen devotees, after-work diners and families looking for a dependable, well-crafted bowl near Sunshine City. It is a quietly proud, noodle-led stop worth queueing for on Ikebukuro's lively east side.
