◆ Moena Cafe is located in Harajuku / Omotesando

The Moena Cafe is less than 10 minutes on foot from JR Harajuku Station and about 5 minutes on foot from Meiji Jingu Subway Station. The audience seats are on the 1st to 3rd floors, and the green foliage plants placed in places inside the store are reminiscent of Hawaii, which is full of nature.

◆ The signboard menu is "Pancake!"

The signature menu of Moena Cafe is " luxury pancakes for adults ". The original dough, which is said to have been produced through many trials, is characterized by its moist and chewy texture.

In addition to "Fresh Fruit Pancakes" (starting from 1,480 yen) with plenty of fruits such as strawberries and bananas, "Cinnamon Roll Pancakes" (starting from 1,100 yen) with cream cheese sauce, and "Strawberries & Milk" limited to Japan. "Pancakes" (starting at 1,200 yen) will also be on sale.

I tasted the "Japanese limited pancakes" that I was particularly interested in!

How cute ... !!!
How cute ... !!!

Flat-baked pancakes with a thickness of 1 to 1.5 cm are topped with a generous amount of pink cream with strawberries and sliced strawberries. Chopped pistachios are studded with accents of color and texture.

The chewy dough and sweet and sour strawberries are exquisite!

The outside of the dough is firmly baked and fragrant, and the inside is chewy! The dough is elastic, so it's also delicious. It is slightly salty and has a refreshing aftertaste. The cream has a fluffy mouthfeel and is finished with a refreshing taste combined with sweet and sour strawberries.

By the way, you can choose from single pancakes (1 pancake) or double pancakes (2 pancakes with different prices), and even one pancake is just right for two women to share.

◆ The recommended meal menu is "loco moco"

Moena Cafe is focusing not only on pancakes but also on the meal menu. Speaking of Hawaii, the most recommended menu is Hawaii! "Loco Moco" (1,680 yen), but here it is offered in a slightly unique style.

Loco moco is usually a hamburger steak on top of rice. However, the Loco Moco at Moena Cafe has a thick "short rib" of 180 grams! It is daringly put on!

Look! This thick short rib!
Look! This thick short rib!

The short ribs, which are simmered for 3 to 4 hours, are thick but soft, and the more you chew, the more delicious they are. Moderate fat melts on your tongue! If you eat it with a soft-boiled egg and a rich homemade demiglace sauce, your face will naturally come apart due to its deliciousness. The taste is perfect!

I'm too happy ...!

In addition, 4 kinds of "Eggs Benedict" are prepared in the meal menu. I definitely want to conquer all of them!

◆ Moena Cafe clerk's recommended men "French toast"

Actually, I didn't plan to sample it, but the clerk recommended "Cream cheese & blueberry French toast" (1,300 yen), which is also limited to Japan. Cream cheese mixed with blueberries is sandwiched and baked in thick slices of bread.

The clerk's recommendation! Cream cheese and blueberries

A slightly sweet and fluffy bread soaked with egg juice. The acidity of cream cheese and the ripe sweetness of blueberries combine to create an exquisite harmony! I had already flattened the pancakes, but I was able to eat them all. It's too delicious and dangerous ...!

The deliciousness that you can easily enter in another stomach

Sprinkle the attached maple syrup to add sweetness and aroma. There are two slices of French toast on one plate, so enjoy the change in taste with or without maple!
