Tokyo Shibuya-ku Shibuya 1-11-12F

A dining bar in Shibuya. The open and playfully decorated restaurant is entirely non-smoking, a rarity in Shibuya. Moja in the House has numerous sofa booths able to seat six to eight people, and these comfortable, semi-private spaces are perfect for taking a break or a girls' night out. The restaurant's menu consists of American soul food favorites and original dishes. Moja in the House' signature dish is its chicken and waffles-crunchy, juicy fried chicken served over crispy, toasty waffles. Top it off with a heaping helping of maple syrup and enjoy! The Guinguette by Moja, the restaurant's sister establishment, is located on floor B1 of the same building.

Had the best chicken and waffles in my whole 3 years stay in Japan. The chicken was tender and juicy and the waffle was crunchy and soft at the same time. HOWW??

沼津港の浜焼き専門店に伺いました。コロナの影響で20時閉店ということとでお客さんは3組程度で密接な状態ではなく安心して食べれました。まずは貝の3点盛り（1100円）を注文しましたがちょっと小ぶりかなぁといった感じでした。刺身は深海魚の刺身もあったりして都内では食べれない感じなのでお勧めです。フライやその他ご飯類も充実しているので呑みだけはなく食事もできるので家族連れにもいい...

A stylish, hideaway-style Japanese izakaya pub located a short walk from the south exit of JR Mito Station.

The pub's melon cream sodas, limited to just five customers a day and served in a whole Ibaraki-grown muskmelon, are particularly eye-catching.

エントランスからのお店の雰囲気が良くて、期待感が高まります。茨城の食材とお酒に拘り、料理も居酒屋レベルではない手の込んだものが多く、満足しました。お酒を飲まない子供（成人）も「美味しい」と喜んでいました。接客はバイトらしい男の子は頼りなかったのですが、その他の方は感じが良く気持ちよく酔えました。ただ、料理によっては供されるまで時間が結構掛かる物もあったので、星を一つ減らしました。
