A half-step back from the noise.WHY WEST EXIT, WHY KEMURI HONOKA
Ikebukuro East is lined with shisha bars. We chose the West Exit instead, building a calm, grey-toned interior designed for unhurried time.
A room like an atelier
Concrete and grey tones give the room the feel of a quiet atelier rather than a lively bar. Whether alone or in a small group, you can stay as long as you like. With 60+ flavours, our staff can also help blend something to match your mood or the season.
Why the west exit
Approx. 4 min walk from Ikebukuro Station West Exit 2a
Quieter foot traffic than the East Exit, better for conversation
Mahjong tables and board games on hand for longer stays
Open until 23:00 — ideal if you want a quieter evening
