A convenient place where you can enjoy shabu-shabu and sukiyaki easily. Lunch is 90 minutes and dinner is 2 hours all-you-can-eat. The best part is that they serve lunch until 5 pm, so they can accommodate late lunches. You order the meat using a QR code, but condiments, vegetables, ingredients, and rice are self-service. The refill for ingredients is quick, and you can eat plenty of vegetables and meat, which is very appealing.

I visited for lunch. The cost performance is really good. I added meat, but got plenty of vegetables. Very satisfied. This time, I went with a friend, but it's easy to enjoy shabu-shabu even for a woman alone because it's in a fashion building. The next day, I had lunch alone.

I went to eat shabu-shabu with my friend in Ikebukuro. It was raining outside, so we chose a place where we didn't have to go out - on the 9th floor of Lumine in Ikebukuro. The restaurant offered all-you-can-eat shabu-shabu, which was something my friend really wanted to try. We opted for the Matsuzaka beef course for 3990 yen and added the drink all-you-can for 1290 yen. The vegetables were self-served, and the drink all-you-can included soft drinks. We started with a toast with beer, which was delicious. We could choose two types of broth, and we selected sukiyaki and kombu. The vegetables included Chinese cabbage, greens, shiitake mushrooms, enoki mushrooms, leeks, watercress, bean sprouts, carrots, macaroni, tofu, udon, and Chinese noodles. My friend brought back the meat, which included Matsuzaka beef loin, pork belly, Kagoshima black pork, and meatballs. The meat was thin and easy to eat. We enjoyed dipping the meat in ponzu sauce, grated radish, and sesame. We had a variety of drinks from highball to sake to finish with a sweet potato on the rocks. The drink all-you-can option was great. The restaurant was clean and had a good selection, but it would have been better if there were more vegetables. The location inside the station was convenient, especially on a rainy day.

I often go to a buffet-style shabu-shabu restaurant with my colleagues to enjoy Matsusaka beef. The variety of vegetables is decent and considering the price, I think it's quite satisfying. We were told that pork goes well with grated daikon hot pot, so we tried both beef and pork. The meat was very delicious!

The all-you-can-eat lunch option is slightly cheaper, so I visited during lunchtime. It was not crowded, so I could enter without waiting and enjoy my meal at a relaxed pace. The quality of the meat is not very high, but considering it is all-you-can-eat, it is decent. I particularly like places like this because I can eat plenty of vegetables, which I often lack in my diet, even more than meat. Therefore, I am satisfied just by being able to eat lots of vegetables cheaply. As a COVID-19 measure, there are disposable plastic gloves available in the area where you can take vegetables, which I use each time. It may not be very eco-friendly, but considering the current situation, I think it is safer this way.

When I thought about a meal that could make me feel full without carbohydrates, I visited this restaurant for the first time. I ordered the pork shabu-shabu lunch. There were vegetables, udon, and curry rice in the all-you-can-eat menu, so I couldn't really eliminate carbohydrates after all. The curry seemed to be made from shabu-shabu meat, a bit oily and mild in taste, not particularly delicious. However, it was nice to have a new flavor to try when I got tired of ponzu sauce or sesame sauce from shabu-shabu. In any case, being able to eat to my heart's content for less than 1000 yen, I think the cost performance is excellent. The staff were also friendly. Thank you for the meal.

Mix lunch set for 990 yen with additional dashi for 100 yen (plus tax). This set includes unlimited vegetables with beef and pork. The dashi base is kombu, with the option to add a spicy flavor. Ponzu and sesame sauce are provided as condiments. It's a great option for those looking to enjoy a variety of vegetables when they have the time.

I have been going to a shabu-shabu restaurant on the 9th floor of Ikebukuro Lumine for many years now. At first, I hesitated to go alone, thinking "shabu-shabu alone?" but now it seems like solo shabu-shabu has gained acceptance, with more solo diners in the restaurant. They offer set menus with a fixed amount of meat and all-you-can-eat options. I always choose the cheapest pork shabu-shabu lunch. However, on this visit, I decided to try the beef and pork lunch. The meat portions seemed smaller than before, probably due to the tax increase. There is a vegetable bar with a variety of vegetables, tofu, macaroni, udon, and Chinese noodles. Rice is also self-served and unlimited. I always enjoy putting plenty of meat soboro on my rice. There is also furikake available. Green onions and grated radish are unlimited condiments. The dipping sauces provided are sesame and ponzu. The price is around 1000 yen including tax, making it a great place for a luxurious shabu-shabu lunch from noon onwards. The service from the staff is consistent, making it one of my top 5 choices for solo lunch in Ikebukuro.

"I have an appetite, but I don't feel like eating heavy food. Maybe it's a slight summer fatigue, or maybe my internal organs are tired from my usual overeating. A colleague from Osaka was staying in Ikebukuro for a business trip, so we decided to meet up for dinner after work. Given my condition, I didn't want to go to a regular izakaya, so I suggested shabu-shabu. It's light and you can also get your vegetables in. I arrived at Ikebukuro station with almost no knowledge of the area, and followed the signs to Lumine, feeling like a tourist. We found a restaurant floor on the 9th floor. They also had a beer garden outdoors. You could choose from a variety of options for the all-you-can-eat pork set, with prices going up based on the cuts of meat. We opted for the cheapest pork set at 1799 yen. It included pork belly, pork loin, chicken meatballs, and unlimited vegetables. We also added all-you-can-drink alcohol for 990 yen with a discount from the Tabelog app. The soup choices were kelp broth, chicken white broth, soy milk, sukiyaki, and umami spicy, and I went with the safe choice of sukiyaki. Before the hot pot arrived, we helped ourselves to the self-serve vegetable section near the entrance. The selection wasn't fancy, but it was more than enough with daikon radish, bell peppers, radish, carrots, enoki mushrooms, shimeji mushrooms, cabbage, Chinese cabbage, green onions, burdock, tofu, macaroni, komatsuna, spinach, and more. We piled our plates and dug in! The highlight was the sukiyaki. Despite being shabu-shabu, it was basically sukiyaki sauce in a large quantity in the pot, where you could swish the meat. They also offered free raw eggs for dipping. The chicken meatballs were flavorful with green onions and shiso leaves, but lacked cartilage. The meat was tender and delicious without any unpleasant smell. We also ordered a plate of Matsusaka beef for comparison, and the difference in taste was clear (but maybe ordering a large quantity wasn't necessary). The drink menu had basic options like "barley shochu" and "sweet potato shochu" at cheaper places, but they offered a selection of quality shochu like Kuro Isanishiki and Kyoya, as well as sake like Yoshinogawa and Masumi. With four drinks, it was cheaper than a regular izakaya. We ended the meal with sweet potato shochu and ice cream, completely satisfied. The total bill came out to around 3000 yen, which was a great deal. The service was prompt and efficient, and there was a good mix of customers, not too rowdy or too quiet. If I ever find myself in Ikebukuro again, I would definitely come back."

These days, I've been on a carnivorous streak. Today, I went out to Ikebukuro and chose a refreshing all-you-can-eat shabu-shabu restaurant. Ikebukuro has a variety of shabu-shabu chains typical of terminal stations, so I quickly found a place to eat. Since the weather outside wasn't great, I decided to stay indoors and enjoy this restaurant. I ordered the middle course which included chicken, pork, and beef, as well as a plate of Matsuzaka beef. I selected two types of soup: Chinese herbal hot pot and grilled sea bream salt. In between the pot and the meat, I went to get some vegetables. In my 20s and 30s, I focused on eating meat, but now in my 40s, the quality I seek in all-you-can-eat shabu-shabu is centered around vegetables. When there weren't many green and yellow vegetables, I shifted to mushrooms, and crisp watercress is a must-have ingredient. It had been a while since I filled up on vegetables until I was full. I finished the meat quickly because it was quite fatty. The soup was a bit salty, so I added some water to dilute it for the shabu-shabu. I would have been happier if there were a few more types of vegetables. Thank you for the meal.

Located directly connected to Ikebukuro Station, on the 9th floor of Lumine Ikebukuro store. I visited here because the all-you-can-eat shabu-shabu seemed like a good deal. I made a reservation in advance and took the central elevator from the connecting passage to the 9th floor. Ordered: - Premium party course @3300 * Beef/pork belly, chicken meatballs, beef/pork shoulder loin * Vegetables, rice, noodle dishes all you can eat * You can choose 2 types of broth * All-you-can-drink included Upon entering the restaurant, I informed them of my reservation. The interior was clean and tidy. I was guided to a table and the all-you-can-eat system was explained to me in a polite manner. I thought it was just all-you-can-eat meat for shabu-shabu, but it turned out that vegetables were also included. The salad bar had a wide variety of fresh vegetables. They also had Chinese noodles, udon, soft-serve ice cream, and a variety of desserts. However, the main highlight was the meat! Although I can't eat as much as before, everything was delicious. I finished with soft-serve ice cream and my stomach was completely full. I was glad that I enjoyed everything until the end. On my way out, I noticed a considerable line which was not there when I entered. When I asked the staff, they mentioned that there are often lines on weekends and holidays. It was a good decision to visit with a reservation. This is a place where I can confidently bring acquaintances and friends.

Two days ago, I was supposed to have lunch in Itabashi, but I ended up going up to the restaurant floor in Lumine while transferring trains in Ikebukuro. It was my first time going up there since the renovation, and the atmosphere had changed a lot, which was enjoyable. The 8th floor had a variety of cuisines such as Western, Chinese, and Japanese. The 9th floor had buffet restaurants lined up. As I was wandering around, I came across a shabu-shabu all-you-can-eat place called "Sai no An." It was my first time hearing of this shabu-shabu restaurant, but it seemed reasonable, so I decided to give it a try. The place was full of customers, but there was no line, so I was seated quickly. The lunch menu included two plates of meat and all-you-can-eat vegetables for around 1000 yen. I wanted to try both beef and pork, so I opted for the beef and pork standard course (1499 yen + tax). After placing my order, I headed to the buffet table to get some vegetables. Rice, udon, Chinese noodles, furikake, and minced meat were also all-you-can-eat. I chose two types of broth for the hot pot: a spicy broth and a limited-time ginger miso broth. I picked out various vegetables like eringi, enoki, garlic chives, cabbage, carrots, sweet potatoes, potatoes, and burdock. The course included beef belly, pork belly, pork loin, and chicken meatballs, with one plate of each coming out first. The beef belly had a lot of fat, but it was tasty. The ponzu sauce was light and went well with the meatballs. The sesame sauce was a bit thin, which diluted quickly when used with the meat and vegetables. I preferred a thicker sauce for shabu-shabu. I quickly finished the meat, so I ordered two more plates of beef belly and more vegetables. The burdock was a hit this time. The long, thinly sliced burdock was easy to eat and delicious. I'll try slicing vegetables like that at home next time. The pork loin was tastier than the beef, so I ordered two more plates of pork loin. The noodles were a great way to finish the meal. They were divided into small portions and had a chewy texture. I was completely full by the end of the meal. Next time, I'll go for pork or lamb meat for sure. (IkeRes)

On Saturday, when we tried to go, there was unexpectedly a huge line! So, we made a reservation for Sunday instead. We tried the Matsusaka beef course for 3999 yen, which was all-you-can-eat. It's quite reasonable, right? We enjoyed trying two types of sukiyaki and konbu soup. The kids surprised us with their appetites. It was a fun dinner!

I went to Nabe no An in Ikebukuro because I had heard that they also offer all-you-can-eat lamb meat, just like Maruia Annex Shabu Sai in Shinjuku. Although I couldn't find any signs of lamb meat outside the restaurant, when I checked the menu inside, I found it! Lamb meat. So, I decided to go for the all-you-can-eat lamb meat option. I chose the limited-time ginger miso broth and the spicy broth. I thought that eating lamb meat in a spicy broth would give me a hot pot experience. The spicy broth was just right for adults, not too spicy for kids. It helped reduce the unique smell of lamb meat, making it more enjoyable. The meat was thinly sliced, but since it was all-you-can-eat, I piled it all into the pot at once and indulged in a luxurious meal. The ginger miso broth had a strong ginger flavor that paired well with the pork meat. I really enjoyed it and would like to come back before the limited-time offer ends!

The consideration for children was well thought out and the availability of rental items (baby chairs) was much appreciated. The curry tasted especially delicious that day. The all-you-can-eat lunch for around 2,000 yen felt like a great deal. I would like to continue using this restaurant in the future.

The playlist in the store is great, and the shabu-shabu atmosphere is nice!

I ordered the standard course with a drink bar! Conclusion -> Excellent! I wish they had shiitake mushrooms, but the lotus root was delicious. They also had soft serve ice cream, so I had espresso with soft serve ice cream on top. We were able to eat beef as well, and it came out to a little over 4000 yen for two people. The interior of the restaurant was clean and it was a memorable experience. I didn't particularly pay attention to the service.

Meat, vegetables, so full! ^_^
