Sakura Sushi

Craving some quick sushi in Ikebukuro? This small standing-only joint, located on the Tobu side of the station complex, should be your number-one option. With nigiri starting from as low as ¥70 and with even the most expensive choices barely cracking the ¥100 barrier, Sakura is cheapo heaven. The quality and freshness levels are also far better than at your run-of-the-mill conveyor belt eatery, so even gourmands won't be giving this place the thumbs down. We recommend ordering as you go, but if you're really indecisive, just stop by at lunchtime and feast on the voluminous standard set (¥880).
