About this place
When a busy schedule calls for a prompt yet fulfilling seafood meal, donburi is a dependable answer. Situated by the west exit of Ikebukuro, Maguro Ichiba is a casual specialty shop where you can drop in freely for a wide variety of seafood rice bowls.
A Diverse Seafood Selection Featuring Tuna and Salmon
The signature seafood bowls offer plenty of choice, from the wallet-friendly negitoro bowl to the tsukimi negitoro bowl finished with a raw egg for added richness. Diners wanting to sample different cuts of tuna can opt for the four-variety tuna bowl, while those who prefer an assortment of toppings can pick the Kaiho bowl or the seven-variety seafood bowl. Salmon fans are also catered to with combinations like salmon with negitoro, or salmon roe, salmon, and negitoro.
Fragrant Tempura Bowls and Complementary Soups
Alongside raw seafood, the menu features freshly fried tempura bowls. The classic tempura bowl, shrimp tempura bowl, and an albacore tuna tempura bowl unique to a seafood-focused kitchen cater well to cravings for something warm and crisp. Pairing a bowl with sea lettuce miso soup, redolent of ocean brine, or a hearty clam miso soup adds a welcome layer of warmth to the meal.
Casual Convenience for Quick Visits
Configured primarily around counter seating, the shop is well suited for a brisk lunch during work hours or an unhurried solo dinner at night. Open continuously from 11:00 to 22:00, it provides a reliable option whether you arrive for a late lunch or an early evening meal. Takeaway is also offered alongside dine-in service, making it an easy choice to pick up a bowl on the way home.
