Bura Bura's Exciting New Location in Ikebukuro
On October 1, 2023, Bura Bura, a popular chain specializing in abura soba, will celebrate the grand opening of its newest branch in Ikebukuro. This location represents Bura Bura's initial footprint in the Ikebukuro area, extending its reach beyond its well-established locations in Shinjuku and Shibuya. Operated by Takaseki Foods based in Yokohama, Bura Bura has quickly captured the hearts of noodle lovers in Tokyo and Kanagawa, boasting a total of 16 outlets.
A Fresh Start with a City Twist
The Ikebukuro branch is not just another store; it’s an urban model integrating a complete redesign of its logo and interior. The establishment highlights the brand's mission as a modern dining hub while maintaining its tradition of embodying a festival atmosphere. The store's design incorporates rich colors of red and black, aiming to create a chic yet inviting environment for all customers.
Notably, the latest branch will showcase a lively ambiance reminiscent of a festival, making every dining experience feel like an event. With music inspired by traditional festival sounds, Bura Bura ensures that guests feel the joy of dining out.
Special Opening Deals
To commemorate its opening, Bura Bura will hold a limited-time promotional event on October 1 and 2. During this period, customers can enjoy their signature dish, the “Abura Soba (Soy Sauce)” in a special large size (300g) for just 500 yen (tax included). This limited-time offer is available until supplies last, making it a must-visit during the opening days!
Healthier No-Oil Soba Delight
Bura Bura’s abura soba is unique, offering a “mixed noodle” style devoid of soup. The noodles are crafted from premium wheat and konbu, combined with a low-temperature aging technique that gives them a chewy texture. The dish is completed with a specially blended sauce that uses high-quality soy sauce and refined oils traditionally used in upscale tempura. This results in a bowl that is flavorful yet not greasy, appealing to a broad audience across ages and preferences.
