A late-night supermarket on Rikkyo Street
Tobu Store is a branch of the Tobu chain, sitting on the second floor of its building on Rikkyo Street in Ikebukuro, a short walk from the west exit of the station. What you notice first is the scale: the floors carry food, clothing, cosmetics, gifts and everyday essentials, so a quick dinner run can turn into a browse through several departments.
The prepared food counter is where to start. Bento boxes and sushi are set out ready to eat, and the sushi is the item worth carrying back to your room. The section stays stocked into the evening, which is the point of the place for anyone getting off a train after a long day.
Layout works in your favour: the different floors make it easy to move between food and everything else without hunting. There is a V points reward scheme if you shop here more than once, and the store opened on January 2nd while many supermarkets stayed shut for the first days of the New Year.
Prices sit at the higher end for a neighbourhood supermarket. Spoons at the checkout cost 5 yen, and there are no self-checkout machines, so you queue for a cashier.
A basket lands somewhere between ¥1,000 and ¥3,000 depending on how much prepared food you add. Come late for the bento and sushi, and come early on a holiday when everything else is closed.
What to look for
Bento and prepared food
Ready-to-eat boxes are the reason to stop on the way home, and the late closing means they are still there when you are.
Sushi from the prepared counter
The sushi in the prepared food area is the item to pick up first, made for eating straight away rather than carrying far.
Open until midnight
Every day of the week the store runs from 9 AM to midnight, which covers a late commute back into Ikebukuro.

What to bring home
Prepared food and bento
The ready-to-eat section is the reason to come, sushi above all, and the late closing suits commuters heading home.

Who is this for
Anyone arriving back into Ikebukuro late and wanting a proper dinner rather than a convenience-store snack will find bento and sushi waiting until midnight. Travellers staying a few days in the neighbourhood can use the upper floors for clothing, cosmetics and gifts in one stop, and the V points scheme rewards a second visit. If you are in Tokyo over New Year, the January 2nd opening makes it a practical fallback when much else is shut.
If you need something at 3 AM rather than a full supermarket basket, the FamilyMart on Nishiikebukuro 1-Chome stays open around the clock near Ikebukuro Station.
The verdict
The prepared food and midnight closing make it useful, but the higher prices mean it is a convenience stop rather than a destination shop, which suits anyone who needs dinner late in Ikebukuro.
