The Seibu Department Store in Ikebukuro, which I introduced in the video, is currently undergoing partial renovations. Consequently, Karukaya, the udon restaurant I mentioned in the video, has closed down. I really wanted everyone to try that delicious udon, but unfortunately, it’s no longer available.
@@Sam_0108Hi Sam-san, or should I say Frieren-sama? I'm sorry it took me so long to notice your comment and reply to you. It's really unfortunate about that udon restaurant, but there are plenty of other great places to eat in Ikebukuro that you can try.
