For this year's Halloween season, The Capitol Hotel Tokyu in Tokyo has announced that it will serve up its Halloween Sweets Selection again this year at the hotel's pastry boutique ORIGAMI located on floor B2F. The confectionery chefs have spun some spooky fun into this collection of 10 cute treats.

Frankenstein - ¥1,760 / Phantom - ¥1,760 / Cyclops - ¥1,760

The Phantom is a popular confection every year at the hotel, but this year he's had two new freaky friends carved out for him: Frankenstein's monster and a Cyclops. These white chocolate monsters are filled with chocolate-covered almonds, macadamia nuts and other hidden delights.

Witch Hat - ¥715

Dressed in a milk chocolate mousse is ganache and a rich and bitter crème brûlée made with bitter orange. It also contains a mandarin orange liqueur for deeper flavours. The mix of orange notes is refreshing on the palate.

Cross - ¥715

The orange and black Cross is a mousse cake made from pumpkin puree beneath which lies a cinnamon flavoured crème brûlée and coffee flavoured ganache. The bitter coffee elevates the exquisite sweetness of the pumpkin for a delicious combination.

Evil Eye - ¥715

Enter at your own risk with the grotesque-looking (but delicious tasting) Evil Eye mousse cake. It's made with fragrant biscuit and caramel as well as blonde chocolate from France and inside is a smooth pear jelly. There are lots of other Halloween treats besides these coming to the hotel too, so if you're in Tokyo this October then be sure to stop by for a Happy Halloween.   *All listed prices include tax

Azabu-Juban is a district in Tokyo and considered a holy ground amongst Sailor Moon fans as it is where the Sailors reside in the series. That fact is about to be set in stone as the all-new show restaurant SHINING MOON TOKYO is set to open in Azabu-Juban on August 15.   The building used for the restaurant was actually built in the same year when the Sailor Moon manga began serialisation. It's also located in Joule A, the same place where Jewelry OSA-P appears in the series. Since its release in 1991, the Sailor Moon manga series has been translated into 17 languages, and the anime series has made it to 40 countries worldwide. It has even spawned musicals which have been taken around the world. Now, fans can look forward to enjoying their favourite series in a new form with the opening of SHINING MOON TOKYO. The restaurant's stage show is being produced by Nelke Planning who has been involved in many of the franchise's musicals. It will make use of stunning LED visuals and lightning and will feature music and dancing. At the entrance to the restaurant is a gorgeous golden moon which you can sit on and pose like one of the Sailors. A little further in is the stage, whose pink aesthetic and decorations have received the official stamp of approval from Sailor Moon author Naoko Takeuchi. The distance between the stage and audience is short, allowing for an up-close, immersive and thrilling spectator experience. Concealed behind glass display cases are gorgeous and glittery Sailor Moon outfits. Our five Sailors all feature in the stage show who we get to see in their everyday lives, during their transformations, and in battle scenes. The manga will be brought to life before the crowd's eyes. Most of shows will be non-verbal, meaning that people can enjoy them without understanding Japanese. Many different stories will be told on stage―you can find out which ones they will be showing while at the restaurant.   The restaurant will feature a kawaii menu with original drinks and dishes you can't get anywhere else.

Hey, readers. It's Midori again, from MMN's editorial team.   Summertime in Harajuku means the cafes and ice cream shops start serving up some seriously kawaii and tasty ice creams. It's always nice to grab a cone to enjoy while walking around shopping, but relaxing in a cafe to enjoy it is fun too♡   If the latter sounds like your kind of thing, then I've got a new recommendation for you. I visited STRAWBERRY MANIA recently, cafe located along Takeshita Street in Harajuku that specialises in strawberry desserts. You'll find it right above the 7-Eleven on Takeshita Street. Look for the strawberries! There's also a sign outside showing a few of the desserts. Go up the staircase right next to it and you'll come to the cafe entrance. No matter where you turn while you're here, your eyes will be met with strawberries. It looks so cute♡ The shopfront showcase is shelved with lots of succulent strawberry treats. The chef whips up other desserts to order besides these too. Everything's almost too cute to eat!   For the strawberry soft serve ice cream you can pick between three flavours: milk, strawberry or mixed. I couldn't pick between them so I went for mixed. The combination of the bright red strawberry ice cream and pure white milk ice cream makes for a beautiful colour contrast. It's also topped with a huge fresh strawberry.   I took no time at all in taking a spoonful. The strawberry ice cream has a really rich flavour. It's sweet but has that sour kick too, like you're eating a real strawberry. The milk ice cream has a milder sweetness and a real milky taste, the kind you'd imagine if it was sold at a farm with cows. Everything is packed snug into the cone right down to the bottom, making it a filling treat. It can be ordered for takeout if you like, and if you do that you can get your ice cream straight away so you don't have to wait for seats.   They serve other things besides soft serve too, like shaved ice and parfaits. There's so much to choose from, I think you'll be spoiled for choice! Be sure to visit if you're in Harajuku.
