A Japanese-style spaghetti restaurant in Sunshine Altar where fresh-boiled pasta is eaten with chopsticks from a Goemon cauldron.
Yomenya Goemon is a uniquely Japanese take on the spaghetti restaurant, located in the basement of Sunshine Altar near Ikebukuro's Sunshine City. The signature style sees pasta boiled to order in large iron pots reminiscent of the legendary Goemon cauldron, then served and eaten with chopsticks rather than a fork, giving the whole experience a distinctly local twist.The menu offers more than twenty original varieties spanning both Japanese-style and Western-style flavours. Diners can expect creative seasonings and toppings you would never find in an Italian kitchen, alongside lighter, health-conscious options that are particularly popular with women and older guests. The durum wheat semolina spaghetti is imported from southern Italy, ensuring quality even as the preparations stray delightfully far from tradition.
The restaurant is open from 11:00 to 22:00 (last order 21:30) and has around 46 seats. It is conveniently close to Sunshine City, making it a reliable choice for a filling meal between sightseeing stops. Allergy information is available on the menu for those who need it.

I had a craving for Goemon pasta for the first time in a while, so I went to the restaurant. 🍝...
Reviewer_5102
Shrimp and mozzarella cheese in tomato sauce, 1. 5 times the size (+120 yen). Goemon is a pasta dish eaten with chopsticks, and it's easy to eat and delicious! However, I don't like to slurp pasta, so I wish they would think about the length of the noodles.
Reviewer_5105
For lunch, choose your favorite pasta for 1, 280 yen. It comes with soup, and for an additional 80 yen you can choose a soft drink. The restaurant isn't that big, but we were able to seat two people at a four-seater table, which was great. It's also nice that you can use Rakuten Pay.
