Poppo Kiba

At ポッポ 木場店, the inviting aroma drifting through the supermarket while you shop can draw you over to the counter. Its lineup has been a food-court favourite in supermarkets for years: unpretentious food at affordable prices, offering a reassuringly satisfying break for both appetite and mood.

From classic chūka soba to richer bowls, there’s a ramen to choose

A light soy sauce ramen is a classic choice for a meal. Topped with chashu pork, bamboo shoots, spring onion, narutomaki fish cake and spinach, this old-fashioned bowl keeps things simple, with a flavour that doesn’t tire. For a more filling meal, there’s miso ramen topped with bean sprouts and corn, rich tonkotsu ramen, or a set paired with fluffy, separate-grain fried rice.

Heaped fries, soft-centred takoyaki and something sweet

A familiar favourite at ポッポ, the fries are served freshly fried, with a satisfying saltiness and crisp bite. Choosing the generously portioned Mega size and sharing it as you snack is another pleasure of the place. There are also freshly made takoyaki, soft and almost melting inside, and imagawayaki, whose fluffy batter gives way to warm custard—both satisfying choices for a small bite.

Sweet options include soft-serve ice cream and shaved ice. The food-court seating suits a casual solo lunch as well as a pause for families. Takeaway is also available, making it convenient to pick up a hot snack on the way home from shopping.
