"Yodaka" in Harajuku, Tokyo, a cafe born from the movie "Saihate de ~ Gentle scent and waiting ~" released in 2015. It is a shop that stands in the warm sunlight behind the alley heading toward Shibuya.
What I want you to eat here is " Hankichi Dango ". The dumplings are so popular that they may be sold out in the afternoon.
◆ Anko + whipped cream + fruit
There are two types of Hankichi Dango, Mitarashi and Anko. Two dumplings are stuck on one skewer. The price is 200 yen per bottle. There are also "2 tiers" (250 yen) with whipped cream on top of the bean paste and "3 tiers" (300 yen) with whipped cream on top. Recommended is "3 steps"!The dumplings are plump! As the bean paste and whipped cream melt together gently, the sweet juice of the juicy strawberry spreads around it. Speaking of a bite of excitement ...!
Mitarashi is also delicious. It is fragrant and has an exquisite sweetness. Even with a thick mouthfeel, the mitarashi dango is not too thick, so it has an elegant aftertaste.
It has a good balance of bitterness and acidity, and goes well with yodaka or blended deep roasted coffee. Depending on the time of day, Hankichi Dango may still be in stock or sold out, so it may be certain to contact us in advance just in case.
◆ Hot dogs are also recommended
Yodaka's "Hamidashi Hot Dog" (680 yen) is also recommended. Additive-free sausage, sauerkraut, and scallions from Ibaraki prefecture are added to the bread as a secret ingredient.The thick sauerkraut is crispy, sweet and sour, and has a fresh and crispy taste. The long sausages are crispy and juicy, and the umami of the meat bursts out. The crispy and chewy bread is also exquisite! Mustard is a nice accent.
The deliciousness of each item is carefully made, and you will want to take your time to taste it. Yodaka is a cafe full of "gentleness" in both the menu and the atmosphere of the shop. Escape the hustle and bustle of the city and stop by to heal yourself.
