Harajuku Harakado 3F] A vacant hole-in-the-wall store!

If you are looking for a cute and cozy cafe in the Harajuku/Jingumae area, we recommend How'z, located in Harakado, a hot new spot in 2024.
It is easily accessible and perfect for stopping by between shopping and sightseeing. The cute Harajuku souvenirs and well-designed interior are the talk of the town.

The Harajuku souvenirs in the store are too cute!

One of the attractions of HOW'z is the pop and cute Harajuku limited edition packaged souvenirs that line the storefront.
Colorful and photo-worthy, we recommend checking them out before or after your visit to the café. They also make great souvenirs!

Spacious and stylish space with attention to detail

The interior is spacious and clean. Original printed napkins, hand towels, wall art, and other "cute" details are scattered throughout, tickling the fancy café lover's heart.

I visited on a weekday after 12:00 p.m., and the restaurant was relatively empty and relaxed.

I ordered the lunch set (1,500 yen) - a light volume that is perfect for those who like to eat and drink.

The lunch set includes a choice of " baozu man" (yellowtail radish man), recommended by the staff, as the main dish,

Main: Baozu Man

Drink (choose iced oolong tea)

The menu includes the following items. All the dishes were carefully prepared and tasty, but the portions were generally modest and may not be enough for those who want a hearty meal.
However, the volume is just right for those who want to enjoy eating and walking around in the Harajuku area. It is also perfect for a plan that combines it with other cafes and sweets.

In addition, while the overall taste is carefully prepared and delicious, all items are strongly seasoned. Even though it was a light meal, it had a richness that made me want white rice. Conversely, it would be good to have it in the evening as an appetizer for drinks.

The main dish, the "wrapping bun," is unique in that it has a thin skin and is filled with well-seasoned buri daikon (radish). It is worth a try!
