Concept

Ikebukuro

— Paitan and mala in one two-broth pot — Ginjo Lamb® shabu, with wagyu and vegan courses too. Three minutes from Ikebukuro Station on the Marunouchi Line, with 30 seats.

AREA

Shabu-shabu in Ikebukuro

For shabu-shabu in Ikebukuro (池袋), head to the west side of the station and Romance-dori. Lamb Shabu KINNOME Ikebukuro is on the 5th floor of the Natori building at 1-40-5 Nishi-Ikebukuro, Toshima-ku — a 3-minute walk from Ikebukuro Station on the Tokyo Metro Marunouchi Line and 4 minutes from JR Ikebukuro Station. The east-side entertainment district is within walking distance, but one street back from the station crowds it is a small, settled room of 30 seats. There is no lunch service: we open at 5:00 PM on weekdays and at 4:00 PM on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays, which suits a drink after work or dinner after shopping or a film. Ginjo Lamb® Shabu in a two-broth pot is the signature, and there are courses with all-you-can-eat lamb and vegetables — good for a small gathering or a quiet celebration.

  • A black table seen from directly above: a lacquer box of mushrooms with wooden tags, a platter of thinly sliced lamb, salad, two portions of egg noodles, rice balls and condiment jars
  • A platter of rare mushrooms: Tamogitake, Hanabiratake and others laid out in a black wooden box with variety-name tags

FEATURE

What sets Ikebukuro apart

A small restaurant with 30 seats. Four courses are available: Ginjo Lamb® Shabu, mala broth, medicinal-herb mushroom, and A5 wagyu meat-lover lamb shabu — each as a Set Plan or All-You-Can-Eat, with free-flow drinks as an add-on. Ikebukuro also offers wagyu sukiyaki and shabu-shabu, plus a certified vegan soy-meat course. No lunch service; open from 17:00 on weekdays and 16:00 at weekends and on holidays.

  • A small bowl with a black geometric pattern on white, set on a black table and filled with thick, milky white sesame sauce

SCENE

Occasions at Ikebukuro

Small gatherings
With 30 seats, the room is sized for a party of a few rather than a crowd — an easy distance across the pot. Choose a course with all-you-can-eat lamb and vegetables. Three minutes from Ikebukuro Station on the Marunouchi Line.
Dinner for two
Doors open at 5:00 PM on weekdays and 4:00 PM at weekends, which fits neatly after shopping or a film. Share the two-broth pot — clear paitan and spicy malatang — and choose between a light single-serving set or a full all-you-can-eat course.
After work
Four minutes from JR Ikebukuro Station and three from the Marunouchi Line. We serve until 11:15 PM, with last order 30 minutes before closing, so a late start still works: a single-serving Ginjo Lamb® Shabu set and a drink is enough.
Wagyu and vegan courses
Alongside the four lamb shabu courses, you can choose Hokkaido Kuroge wagyu sukiyaki or shabu-shabu, and a certified vegan soy-meat course. Animal-derived ingredients are prepared in the same kitchen, so please ask us if you have food allergies. See the menu page for prices and details.

  • Medicinal ginseng in a pale wood box, its thick root reaching out past the frame, casting shadows against a black background

  • Four pieces of seared lamb nigiri sushi on a black square plate, topped with chopped scallion, the glossy meat standing out against a black background
  • Mala broth in a round white bowl, seen straight from above: a whole red chili and a dark red jujube rest at the bottom, while split leek, coriander, white sesame and beads of chili oil float on the surface
  • Paitan broth in a round white bowl, seen straight from above: split leek and coriander, red goji berries, round amber and dark brown fruits and a milky white kernel rest at the bottom
