60-minute pork cutlet items can be added; Ikebukuro East Exit store exclusive.

The basic content of the all-you-can-eat set meal includes four pieces of fried pork cutlet, one piece of fried ham cutlet, white rice, and red miso soup. You can order refills after the meal is served. For fried pork cutlets and shredded cabbage, please fill out the refill order sheet on your table. You can order a total of up to five pieces of fried pork cutlet at a time. For white rice, red miso soup, and sauces, simply ask a staff member directly. Timing begins when the meal is served, and the last order time is 60 minutes from then.

The rules are actually quite simple, but we recommend not ordering too much at once. Fried food is best when it's freshly served, and ordering in batches will keep it warm and prevent you from having leftovers. If you do have leftovers, there's a 500 yen container fee for takeout, and the fee can only be paid in cash. This is important for travelers, so it's best to order according to your appetite.

Three sauce variations, suitable for those who like strong flavors or refreshing tastes

The restaurant offers three basic condiments: tonkatsu sauce, citrus vinaigrette, and salt. Limited-edition sauces are also available occasionally. To enjoy without getting tired of the flavor, you can first use salt to savor the aroma of the fried food, then switch to tonkatsu sauce, and finally use the citrus vinaigrette for a refreshing change. If you run out of sauce, you can ask the staff for refills.

This dining style is great for groups to chat and share experiences, but it's not awkward for solo diners either, as the set meal rules are clear and ordering is quick. It's available from 3:00 PM, which conveniently avoids the usual lunch rush. If you're shopping, visiting an exhibition, or going on an anime pilgrimage in Ikebukuro, this timing fits in smoothly. To avoid the dinner rush, you can consider it a late lunch, and then head to Sunshine City, Otome Road, or the department stores around the station to browse at your leisure. This is especially convenient for those staying in Ikebukuro.

What kind of Tokyo itinerary is suitable?

This all-you-can-eat set meal, exclusive to the Ikebukuro East Exit store, is perfect for a shopping day, an anime store hopping day, or for dinner before or after returning to central Tokyo from Saitama or Kawagoe. The flexible 3:00 PM to 8:00 PM window allows it to serve as either a late lunch or a full dinner. However, the fried items are quite filling, so if you have dessert, bar hopping, or a late-night snack planned for later, it's advisable not to overeat.

Kihē started from a small shop in Kobe's Sannomiya Market in 1979, gaining popularity with its katsudon (pork cutlet bowl) made with a light batter that wasn't heavy and wouldn't easily get tiresome. This Ikebukuro-limited set meal offers the brand's fried food expertise in an all-you-can-eat format, making it a practical and buzzworthy choice for those who want a filling meal in Tokyo without spending too much time searching for a restaurant.
