Must-see for those who like both sweet and spicy!
I wonder if spicy dandan noodles and pancakes go well together? But on a hot day, I want to eat spicy food and work hard! That's why I went to the store right away.
The cafe "MOG MOG" is located about 5 minutes down a gentle slope from Shimokitazawa Station on the Keio Inokashira Line to the west exit.
Surrounded by greenery, it looks like a cafe in the forest!

Enter the store and order the summer limited menu "Tantan Pancake" (1,050 yen). It's a pancake that combines Chinese-style spicy sauce and dandan noodle ingredients.
MOG MOG pancakes are said to be baked using plenty of buttermilk stock solution, which is rare in Japan. Therefore, the dough is finished with a moist mouthfeel.
It seems that it will take some time to serve the dough and meringue after receiving the order because it is baked slowly on a copper plate, but it is also because the pancakes carefully made one by one are served warm. Yes, I'll wait as long as I can!
A lot of pancakes are lined up in the menu book. There is also a strange kind of "lasagna-style pancake" with 20 meals only on weekdays!
When I was waiting while flipping through the pages of the nostalgic picture book placed in the store, I received a letter from the kitchen with a fragrant smell. Finally, we are meeting with "Tantan Pancake"!
Don! It's a pancake!
Three pancakes baked to a thickness of 1 to 1.5 cm are topped with meat miso, fried egg, and Naruto, and tomatoes, cucumbers, and Zha cai are combined.
The clerk will give you chili oil, so take the plunge and take a bite. … Delicious !! The spicy meat miso soboro goes crazy with the fluffy sweet pancakes !!
Sprinkle plenty of chili oil ...
When you squeeze it, your face will come to you with its mysterious taste!
First of all, the punchy spiciness and umami of meat miso spreads in your mouth, and the sweetness of the pancake gradually chases you as you chew. The contrast between this spiciness and sweetness is exquisitely delicious! The chewy dough plays the role of medium-thick noodles in Tantan noodles.
If you eat it with a soft-boiled egg yolk, it will be excellent again. The eggs serve as a link between the pancakes and the meat miso, making the spiciness mellow and the texture even more moist. Crispy cool cucumbers, tomatoes, and Zha cai garnish.
Melting yolk and exquisite when eaten
It tasted better than I expected, and I ate it in no time! Pancakes as sweets are gaining popularity these days, but why not change your mind and try these unique pancakes? I'm sure you'll be scaly from your eyes!
In addition, MOG MOG seems to be able to make reservations on weekdays, so it may be a good idea to call if you want to be sure to enter. Don't be afraid to sprinkle plenty of chili oil on the summer-only Tantan pancakes!
