Visited at department's deli section at Ikebukuro

We call department's deli section that "DEPACHIKA" is a shopping area typically found in the basements of department stores in Japan. These floor spaces are filled with food markets, delicatessens, bakeries, sweets shops, and even restaurants. They're an integral part of Japanese culture, offering both local and international goods with a focus on quality and refinement.

Ikebukuro's department store basements are a prime example of this concept. They offer a wide variety of food products, ranging from high-quality fresh vegetables, meats and fishes to ready-made meals, sweets, and even gourmet international food items. It's like stepping into a labyrinth of deliciousness!

Each store has its own unique charm and offers, and you can often try samples of their products. This enables you to taste the different types of foods and sweets from all over Japan (and sometimes from around the world) in one place. That is a fun and popular practice among both locals and tourists.

In addition, there are also seasonal items, which makes every visit a new discovery. For foreign visitors, this is also a good place to shop for food souvenirs known as "omiyage".

So, experiencing the "Depachika" in Ikebukuro is not just about shopping for food. It's an exploration of Japanese food culture, a sensory adventure, and certainly a unique retail experience combining quality, diversity, and the joy of discovering new tastes.
