A Nostalgic and Retro Café Experience Opens in Ikebukuro!

Located just a 3-minute walk from Ikebukuro Station’s west exit, the new concept café ‘Anokoro Memories’ has officially opened! With the themes of “charm,” “nostalgia,” and “warmth,” this café offers a soothing escape from daily life, enveloping you in the retro vibes of the Showa era.
Adorned with retro items along the walls and filled with the comforting sound of analog music, the interior gives you the sensation of stepping back in time. Explore the Showa-style touches scattered throughout the chic café as you relax and unwind.

One of the café’s standout features is the uniforms worn by its staff. The puff-sleeve blouses with vibrant aprons bring to life the retro diner aesthetic, combining a nostalgic yet adorable design.
The uniforms, simple yet evocative, are sure to remind customers of “those good old days,” creating a unique charm. Combined with the warm hospitality of the staff, the experience feels even more special.

Thoughtful Design for a Nostalgic Atmosphere

The interior design features a white counter and brown flooring as its base, with dark brown leather chairs adding an accent reminiscent of traditional coffee shops. The simple yet polished space harmonizes beautifully with the retro music and décor.
The welcoming ambiance provides a perfect retreat for solo visitors looking to unwind or for friends and couples to enjoy engaging conversations. The space exudes comfort and familiarity.
