Takase Ikebukuro Main Store

Rating84SCORE
WHY IT'S A MESHI MAP PICK
Locals keep coming back. That is the real proof.
地元の人が、通い続ける。それが何よりの証明。
Founded in 1920, Takase Ikebukuro Main Store is a cultural landmark that has stood at the heart of Ikebukuro for over a century.
大正9年(1920年)創業、100年以上の歴史を刻む池袋の文化的ランドマーク。
With a Google rating of 4.0+ from 500+ reviews and a cross-generational fanbase still posting on X and Tabelog, it draws weekend queues and afternoon sellouts with clockwork regularity.
Googleレビュー4.0超・500件超に加え、Xや食べログには世代を超えたファンからの投稿が絶えず、休日には行列、午後にはケーキが品薄になる。
Cakes from 400–600 yen and bread from around 200 yen are not merely a bargain from a century-old shop — they are a living piece of this neighborhood's collective memory.
大正時代から変わらぬ製法のケーキ400〜600円、パン200円前後という価格は、単なる「老舗のコスパ」を超えた、この街に生きてきた人々の記憶そのものだ。
