hey guys it's mica so I know that a lot
of my subscribers are really really
interested in hajikko and I feel like a
lot of you if you came to Japan you
would definitely come to Harajuku so for
the past few months I've been kind of
eating in Harajuku and seeing what the
best places to eat are and the most
interesting foods and things like that
and I've been filming them for you so
that when you come to Harajuku you know
what to eat so let's start with a
classic which is the Harajuku crepe I'm
not sure if you know this a lot behind
Chicago is actually famous for crepes
you can find them on pretty much any
corner outside you can see the typical
Japanese display which shows the crepe
unrolled that way you know exactly what
you're getting as you can see there's so
many flavors you can get sweet ones but
also savory ones they're surprisingly
good because the crepe isn't actually
that sweet on its own they make a
frightened front of you and when you get
it it's nice and warm and fresh and
delicious the price really does depend
on which crepe you order but I would say
on average it's somewhere between 350
and 600 yen I got one with strawberries
and cream and custard and chocolate
sauce and Mel got one that literally has
a piece of cheesecake in it needless to
say we both thoroughly enjoyed our warm
sweet crepes next up is cookie time
which you definitely can't miss it's a
store which I believe is originally from
New Zealand but there's also a store
right here in Harajuku and as you can
guess by the name they specialize in
cookies we specifically came to try out
the no baked cookie der because if you
ask me cookies are just better on baked
it came kind of looking like ice cream
you can choose whether or not you want
it on a cone I chose not to because I'm
not a huge current person but max did
and look how adorable it is
we were lucky enough that they actually
recognized us and so they offered to let
us try some other things so we ended up
trying their milkshake which was amazing
if you have a sweet tooth this is
definitely for you this one is actually
Harajuku themed which I think that's
perfectly with this video we also tried
the s'mores ice cream which was
literally the size of my face and if
you're someone who needs their cookie
things at home you can buy some if
you're a fan of cookies this is the
place to go next let's go for something
savory this doll outside lottery
ourselves these really long fries which
are actually really trendy at one point
they sell various other street foods as
well but I remember seeing the fries on
social media before I even moved to
Japan I was starving at the time though
and fries alone were not gonna cut it so
I decided to try the rice wrapped in
meat and here are the fries in there
long glory
the fries are actually famous for being
a little bit chewy which they were they
were pretty good though it was
interesting that they weren't just long
fries but that there was something
different to them as well I cannot
recommend the rice wrapped in meat
enough it was absolutely delicious salty
and saucy and savory it was everything
you could need for a quick snack next up
is the kawaii monster cafe which I would
definitely say is a Harajuku classic
they definitely put in a lot of effort
to make sure that you feel like you've
been transported to another world from
beginning to end the decoration is so
well done that this is definitely one of
those places where you're paying more
for the atmosphere than for the food
I mean it's genuinely impressive like
ceiling to floor everything is decorated
to fit the theme I can't even imagine
how much time and effort it took to make
it look like this they also have a stage
in the middle that looks like a cake
where the dancers dance sometimes but we
didn't manage to catch oh sure even the
menu is like a little touch pad to make
it look a little bit more futuristic but
my favorite part is of course how the
girls addressed they are so cute and
they were so nice as well
I decided to pick the food items based
on what I found to be the most unique
and interesting of course to make the
most of the experience the first thing I
decided to try is the stack of pancakes
with a chocolate-covered strawberry ice
cream
I thought the design of it was really
cute and as far as pancakes go it was
pretty decent the next thing I tried was
this thing I think they called cat food
it was kind of like a mix of cereal and
ice cream and candy floss I wasn't
entirely sure if I like this one next I
decided to try what they called a
science experiment which was a lot of
fun and the drink ended up tasting like
an unspecific fruit I couldn't decide
what flavor it was next I decided to try
this milkshake with popcorn on top but
it actually ended up being my favorite
which really surprised me the milkshake
kind of tasted like vanilla but the
popcorn was salty and I guess I liked
the mix the kawaii monster cafe can
definitely be a little bit expensive but
it's worth the experience at least once
speaking of Harajuku classics there's
also Tata candy factories of rainbow
candy floss I would describe the inside
as how a kid would imagine a sweet shop
or pastel and bright and cute other than
candy floss they also sell these cute
little cake pops I got the little bunny
you get to watch them make the candy
floss which is a lot of fun you get to
see them adding colors one by one and
layering it up until it looks like this
rainbow cloud do you see how massive it
is I mean look at the candy floss and
then look at my head a fun thing about
it is that each color is actually a
different flavor but I would definitely
recommend that you share this with
someone because it was very difficult
for me to finish by myself
next is the cheese hotdog as they call
it which is another thing that's kind of
trendy online right now I believe it's
originally a Korean food but I might be
wrong it's a street food that basically
consists of a block of cheese surrounded
by fried potato and it's absolutely
delicious
it comes completely plain so you have to
salt and sauce it yourself this is a
really satisfying snack it's got the
crunchy potato on the outside and on the
inside you've got the melted cheese
which as you can see I was having a bit
of trouble eating I highly recommend it
next is cafe run run which is definitely
hands-down the cutest buffet I have ever
seen in my whole life to start with you
get to choose your drink and I chose the
cherry blossom one which I highly
recommend it was really good and then as
you can see it has one of these sushi
style rotating tables which is so cute
and such a fun idea so you get to pick
these tiny cute little desserts of the
sushi table and it's all-you-can-eat and
I just can't recommend it enough I went
on a little girly date with two of my
friends and we all enjoyed it so much
not only was it so cute in such a great
atmosphere but the food was not only
unique but also delicious however if you
can I highly highly recommend going
during school hours I'd finish school
early and as you can see it's so quiet
but another time when I went they asked
me to wait more than an hour so I ended
up not going so plan ahead if you're
someone like me who loves seafood I
recommend giving Luke's lobster a try
I believe it's originally American but
they do have one in harajuku as well
they sell these lobster rolls which are
just amazing I highly recommend it
I really like these kinds of street
foods why you can get it really quickly
and easily but it's still super
delicious I decided to get the soup set
which that day was clam chowder and I
love clam chowder and the lobster roll
was buttery and rich and just delicious
next up is the cosmic girl cafe the
cosmic girl cafe is basically this cafe
that's based around an artist called
taco kuma who made the character cosmic
girl the idea behind cosmic girl is that
she levitates near humans to influence
them to make good decisions with that in
mind cosmic girl cafe really focuses on
things like super foods and making
healthy foods so they only use natural
colorings for example my cupcake was
colored
be true and it was also actually
gluten-free which really surprised me
because it was certain waist sorry for
saying least the smoothie was also
delicious
I'm not so keen on the mint flavoring at
the top but when you only drink the
bottom it's just such an amazing
smoothie it's a great place for those
who want a guilt free treat the next
place is soaping which is selling one of
my absolute favorite foods right now
which is bingsu korean shaped ice i
cannot stress this enough I know it
doesn't sound appealing
it's just shaved ice but I can't tell
you enough it's amazing I don't know
what witchcraft they put in it but it's
so fantastic like even now
I'm stressed that I can't eat it like
what we eat this food like I cannot
resist and I keep going and it's
genuinely draining my wallet and I can't
stress this enough if you have not eaten
things though you have to eat been
through its creamy and sweet and
refreshing and melts in your mouth and
the crunch of the ice and the fruit
mixed with the cream I highly recommend
lastly we have Eddie's ice cream which
is just the cutest little ice cream shop
not only is the entire store pink but
the ice cream themselves are so cute
they decorate them so nicely I also love
how the store itself is decorated I
think they kind of have something with
the k-pop group red velvet though my
favorite thing is these old phones on
the wall I think they're so cute I
decided to go for the unicorn one which
actually had some candy floss on it I
highly recommend that I didn't think
that candy floss and ice cream could go
together so well but it really does it's
really tasty and there you have it there

foods you think are most delicious or if
