Hi again, everyone! I’m Midori Blackmore from the MOSHI MOSHI BOX Harajuku Tourist Information Center.
I find there’s a surprisingly large number of people who want to go to a stylish cafe having made the effort to come to Harajuku but aren’t any good with sweet things like desserts.
A lot of Harajuku’s photo-worthy treats and desserts are packed with cream and such and are super sweet, so it can be difficult inviting someone out who isn’t a sweet tooth. So I want to recommend W/O STAND HARAJUKU to those people, a fancy coffee stand in Ura-Harajuku. Let’s go!
You will find it behind the MOSHI MOSHI BOX diagonally opposite the 7-Eleven along Tonchan Dori – or Tonchan Street.
Look for the grass plot, that’s your landmark. Continue down this road to the end.
You will come across a small sign.
The neon guy is your final landmark – that’s when you know you’ve arrived.
Upon entering there is cool music playing. The decor is very simple but sophisticated. It’s a completely different and more mature atmosphere compared to Takeshita Street.
You can order for takeout or enjoy your coffee indoors.
The counter even has electrical outlets so you don’t have to worry about your battery dying.
(Just so you know, the MOSHI MOSHI BOX has outlets you can use too! And Wi-Fi!)
I ordered the caramel macchiato.
You mix together the coffee the lady brings to you yourself, but the two layers before you mix looks cute so I ended up snapping a photo.
The sticker of the old guy is cute too.
Every month they sell different coffees that look like desserts too. If you’re interested in what they have this month, then be sure to check out their Instagram page!
So, what did you think? Cute ice cream and tapioca are nice too but try changing things up a bit by ordering an adult drink!

Hi, everyone! I’m Midori Blackmore and I work at MOSHI MOSHI BOX, the Harajuku Tourist Information Center.
Today, I went to Cafe Hohokam with fellow MOSHI MOSHI BOX colleague Ellie, so I wanted to share my experience with you all.
Hohokam is located behind MOSHI MOSHI BOX and can be found up the staircase past FABIUS Cafe.
Head up these stairs to find the entrance.
Hohokam is decorated to look like a motel you would see in Arizona. I’ve never been outside Japan before so I had to look up what exactly they’re like. Arizona is a state in the southwestern region of the US. It’s bordered by Mexico to the south, is very hot, and is home to the Grand Canyon. It also has the largest Native American population.
*We have blurred the faces of the people inside to protect their identities.
‘I see,’ I said to myself and looked around. So that’s the atmosphere they’re going for. It’s very stylish but also feels incomparable to anything else.
We both ordered an orange cream soda with a Hohokam burger and French toast that comes topped with Nutella, bananas and whipped cream.
How amazing does this look? It looks like the cream soda you only see in manga. I was really surprised. It’s tall and the colour is gorgeous. Really just the best. This must be the proper way to make it in the cream soda industry. When you drink your cream soda, don’t you think to yourself, ‘Summer has arrived,’ too?
It’s strange when you first take a sip because although it’s blue it has an orange flavour. The soft serve cream on top is also sweet and really delicious!
There’s four cream soda flavours to choose from: melon, raspberry, lemon and orange, and they’re all supposed to be colourful and taste good. It might be a fun idea to order different coloured drinks with your friends.
Next up is the Hohokam burger! The menu said it has chili beans, cheese and a jalapeno patty.
Tada!
The flag on top is cute, isn’t it? You can wrap the burger with the napkins provided on the table before biting into it, but we both shared it.
This is how it looks cut in half. The red part is the chili beans. It’s spicy when you take a bite, but it’s not overly spicy at all! For me I thought it was a refreshing kind of spiciness like that of Mexican cuisine. I’m no good with spice and even I could eat it.
The meat inside was made very well. It was just the kind of hamburger you’d expect at a hamburger shop.
There’s a bunch of other burgers to choose from too, like the mozzarella burger, barbeque burger, cheeseburger and more.
Last up is the French toast with Nutella & Banana & Whip cream!
Something looking like this has got to be delicious.
The burgers at Hohokam are of course delicious, but I personally want to give the nod to their desserts. They’re seriously something else!
The fluffy French toast is topped with sweet Nutella and whipped cream, but it’s not heavy at all. We were already quite full but we were able to lap it up easily.
They also have a terrace smoking area. The atmosphere there was fairly nice too! Dining outside can make eating your food taste good too, can’t it?
Another great thing is that everything at Hohokam can be ordered for takeout! We recommend getting a delicious burger and having a picnic in Yoyogi Park!
So, do you like the sound of Cafe Hohokam? It’s great for lunch or dinner, and we also recommend using it as a café to stop by when you’re out shopping.
If you’re in Harajuku and have an empty stomach, or you’re in need of a dessert, then please try Cafe Hohokam for yourself.

Hi, everyone, it’s Midori from the MOSHI MOSHI BOX Harajuku Tourist Information Center.
It’s gotten cold lately. It feels like autumn is here. It’s the season where numerous shops in Japan start selling houjicha sweets. With that in mind, I visited CHAVATY, an uva tea shop in Omotesando!
CHAVATY is located at the back of Tonkatsu Maisen, a famous restaurant in Omotesando. Maisen is along a road with a lot of signboards so follow it along towards 7-Eleven and you’ll find it. It’s in a part of Omotesando with a calm atmosphere.
I ordered the houjicha soft serve ice cream and the bottled uva tea latte.
First up, the ice cream!
You can pick from three flavours: uvacha, matcha or houjicha. I went with houjicha.
It’s pretty big. It has a lot of volume too as the ice cream seeps all the way down to the bottom of the cone!
It has a really rich flavour, it’s like eating houjicha. It’s ice cream but isn’t sweet at all so I recommend this for the non-sweet tooths out there.
This is the bottle tea latte! Again you can pick from the same three flavours as before. I chose uvacha.
Isn’t the bottle so cute?
Drinks like this are usually served in cups with or without lids which can be a nuisance when shopping. But with this you get a cap so you can seal it completely and carry on shopping. It might even be an idea to take it home, wash it and fill it again with whatever drink you like.
The taste of course is light and it smells good too. It kind of makes you feel like a grown-up.
You can ask for a vinyl bag which looks cute too. The colour scheme is sophisticated Instagram-worthy.
Enjoy some authentic houjicha treats for yourself too at CHAVATY.

Hi everyone, it’s Midori from the MOSHI MOSHI BOX Harajuku Tourist Information Center.
Isn’t the food in Japan recently way too cute? Especially in Harajuku – they have a lot of cute ice cream shops there selling items so cute they almost seem a waste to eat.
A new shop with this very description just opened in Harajuku so I went to check it out! The name of the shop is Eiswelt Gelato, a chain that first opened on Huntington Beach in California.
It’s located along Takeshita Street opposite Harajuku Station. It’s packed even on weekdays!
This is how the menu looks. All the gelato sold here is shaped like animals.
I ordered “Froggy” which is available only at this Japanese branch. You can pick from either mint or matcha flavours. I went with mint.
The ice cream at the counter is super colourful. It’s a lot of fun waiting for your finished gelato to be made!
After taking my order the lady carefully drew the frog’s face on.
This is how it came out!
It’s definitely something that came from California but it also has that cute Japanese character element to it. It’s charming and something that will be popular with girls. It seems a waste to eat but I had to!
Gelato has less milk than regular ice cream but the flavour of the mint really comes through. It’s crazy delicious.
I said it was a waste to eat earlier but I completely devoured it.
Visit there yourself to get your hands on some new sweets that aren’t just cute but tasty too!

LDFS Co. Ltd., which operates six cafes and brands in Tokyo, has opened a new location! The company currently operates THE GREAT BURGER, a gourmet burger shop in Harajuku, The Little BAKERY Tokyo, and GOOD TOWN DONUTS. Now, they’ve brought the old-school burger store Jennifer Seven to Harajuku!
Jennifer Seven is a combination general store and burger store that sells apparel, kitchen items, and groceries. While it may seem like a general store with a coffee stand at first glance, the back door opens to reveal a secret burger shop! The innovative location will serve simple burgers, not the hearty and massive gourmet burgers available next door at THE GREAT BURGER.
General stores are found in rural America and carry a wide range of daily necessities, much like a yorozu-ya in Japan. Jennifer Seven sells original apparel, sundries, and goods with a vintage flare, as well as tableware and other items from the U.S. In addition, guests can find unique food items like handmade jellies and jams, fresh fruits and local veggies, natural wines, small gifts, and plenty more.
The drive-thru coffee stand attached to the store sells GOOD TOWN COFFEE, and Chinese-American steamed buns are also available at the Harajuku location!
Each classic burger will come with simple and tasty ingredients, including the beef patty, ketchup, mustard, original burger sauce, pickles, and onions. The restaurant’s simple interior features white and vintage wood with blue-grayish green accents and was designed by the owner himself, inspired by diners and school cafeterias in rural America.
Come enjoy a classic burger at this secret burger joint!
