Whether you enjoy Japanese sake or one-of-a-kind cocktails, Ikebukuro is a great place to enjoy a night out in Tokyo. Here are three of our recommended places to enjoy drinking in Ikebukuro.
Kurand Sake Market

Drink all the Japanese sake you want for 3,000 yen (tax exc.)! There's not even a time limit on Kurand Sake Market's all-you-can-drink offer, so you can really savor all kinds of different spirits.
This standing bar follows the concept of self service: pick your favorite sake cup, choose the sake you want to try and pour it yourself.
Over 100 sake varieties are available at Kurand Sake Market, all carefully created products from small breweries all over Japan. Snacks are sold as well but it is common that people bring in food from outside.
Chopsticks and dishes are available and you can even heat up your food in readily available microwaves. Even going out and grabbing something in the middle of drinking is perfectly alright.

Rock Bar Oasis

Drink to the tunes of classical American rock and pop from the 70s and 80s! Around 200 types of different whisky is available at Oasis, from Japanese as well as international masters of the malt, among which is Ichiro's Malt.
The food menu shouldn't be ignored, however. It'll tickle your tongue with delicacies like Berkshire pork jerky for 650 yen or homemade pizza for 1,000 yen. Vinegared vegetables and homemade pickles for 500 yen also go great with a variety of drinks!

Sakura cafe Ikebukuro

This 24-hour restaurant is located in Ikebukuro's Sakura Hotel. It boasts a wonderful variety of international beer, carefully selected. Over 60 different kinds of beer, be it German, Belgian, rare Japanese brews, or even those from the Czech Republic or Israel - international beer starts from 560 yen.
Sake and wine, as well as certain cocktails are also on the menu. What goes better with a beer than snacks such as different appetizers, bean stews or Al ajillo (dishes fried in garlic oil)? The most popular item on the menu is, without a doubt, Sakura Café's Francesinha, the Portuguese hamburger gratin, for 1,280 yen.
