Shopping in Ameyoko and a favourite seafood monja at Moheji

After lunch in Ueno and a walk around Ameyoko, Haruru chose Moheji, remembering a meal she had enjoyed in Machida. Of the two monja dishes she ordered, the seafood one became her new favourite.

From haruru.1002’s past accounts.

Strawberries and a tin container

She had lunch in Ueno for the first time in a while, then browsed around Ameyoko. Her purchases were two packs of Amaou strawberries and a tin container from a shop selling household items.

Remembering a meal she had enjoyed in Machida

For drinks and food, she chose Moheji. She had enjoyed its monja in Machida, and finding a location in Ameyoko made the decision easy.

Seafood monja became her choice for next time

She enjoyed the butter-cooked squid legs served as otoshi again. They ordered mentaiko, mochi and cheese monja, as well as seafood monja.

She particularly liked the seafood monja, which she noted included shiokara. It became the dish she wanted to choose as her regular order in future.
