A short walk from Ikebukuro Station, sen is a tsukemen specialty restaurant that opened in September 2025, featuring a chic black-toned interior with jazz playing in the background. Its signature dish, the special tsukemen, combines medium-thick noodles with sweetness and chewiness made from Hokkaido-grown Haruyoiwai wheat, paired with a thick, rich dipping sauce blending pork bone, chicken bone, and seafood. Guests are encouraged to first taste the noodles with just algae salt to appreciate their flavor. There's also the fun of choosing from black tsukemen fragrant with burnt garlic mayu oil, spicy tsukemen, and options of piping hot kamaage or chilled noodles. To finish, a soup made from the first extraction of bonito and mackerel dashi is served in a Nanbu ironware kettle to dilute the dipping sauce. Many guests appreciate that the noodle portions—small, medium, and large—are all offered at the same price. The fully non-smoking interior, centered around 12 counter seats, feels clean and is easy to use even for a solo lunch.
