I don't have many opportunities to eat at Silent's location tours, so it was a fresh experience! I used to frequent this cafe before it moved (over 10 years ago...?). It seemed like they had fewer options for customizing now, but maybe I'm mistaken. In the front is a medium size with toppings of fried chicken, whitebait, and mentaiko. It was 2100 yen with a drink set. The portion of rice was generous, but just for rice, this price felt a bit high. Without customization, it's 880 yen. The other menu items also looked delicious, so I'd like to visit again.

The location is convenient for me, so I often use this place. It was once popular for being used as a filming location for a drama, but now you can easily get a table. I always order the pudding, but today when it was placed on the table, I thought, "Huh, is it more jiggly today? It looks flatter than usual." I prefer a firmer texture, so I was disappointed to find out that it was actually cracked when I turned it around. Maybe they placed it facing backwards to hide it? I wanted to post about this cafe as a trendy spot on social media, but it ended up in a sorry state (tears). If I were a staff member, I wouldn't serve this pudding... Oh well, I guess there are days like this (sweat).

The restaurant has a spacious and calming atmosphere. The dish had small dried sardines and pickled mustard greens, which kept me interested without getting bored. I wasn't in the mood for a heavy lunch, as I only had a slight hunger, but the gentle seasoning satisfied my stomach just right.

My niece is a big fan of Silent, so we visited together. We had already eaten lunch, so this time we just ordered drinks. My niece was thrilled and excited, asking the staff about the filming of the drama and the actors. The interior was very stylish and calming, it was lovely. The staff were all young. It had been years since I last visited Shitamachi, but it has changed a lot. There are still many vintage shops, but the restaurants are lively too. The cream soda was delicious, it had been a while since I had one. My niece was so happy, it made me happy too. Thank you for the meal, it was delicious.

*Waiting time* No wait on Sunday at 12:00 *Order & Price* Ojiya (rice porridge) M with mentaiko (spicy cod roe) and tuna mayo topping for 1200 yen *Atmosphere* The restaurant has a stylish atmosphere. *Service* You can use Setagaya Pay. Water is self-service. *Impressions* Even though it's a small size, the portion is generous. The octopus and sausage are cute. I expected the ojiya to be lightly seasoned, but it actually has a rich flavor. The combination of mentaiko, tuna mayo, sweet mini fried bread with sugar, saltiness, spiciness, and sweetness all at once makes it enjoyable to eat. *Things to look forward to* I am satisfied with the portion size. I thought it could be a bit less seasoned, but it completely dispelled the image of ojiya being unsatisfying.

Today is the day when my beloved dog goes to school, which means it's the day for the owner to go to their favorite shop! I decided to visit a shop in Shimokitazawa that I've been curious about for a long time - Ojiya. This shop was established in 1999 and is known to be a pilgrimage site for fans as it was a filming location for a drama in the 20th century. As I entered the shop, I was greeted by a lovely antique atmosphere. [What I ordered] - Ojiya (large size) - 950 yen - Topping of whitebait - 200 yen - Set of pudding - 350 yen After ordering, it arrived in about 10 minutes. It was served in an aluminum pot, which got me excited. I took the first bite and wow, it was delicious! The second bite, however, was too big and I burned my mouth. The menu explained that the bonito broth used a blend of bonito flakes, including those from Tosakurashio, which enhanced the flavor with the richness of the egg. The kombu broth was made from Hokkaido seaweed, and only seaweed salt was used for seasoning. The rice used was 16-grain rice, making it healthy. The fried bread with sugar on top was a perfect match with the broth, creating a delicious combination. The set pudding was half-sized, with a firm texture reminiscent of the Showa era. The pudding itself was not too sweet, and the caramel was bitter. It may not be to everyone's liking, but I personally enjoyed it. There is also a shop in Harajuku where dogs are allowed inside. I would love to visit the Harajuku shop as well! Thank you for the delicious meal!

I went to Costco Outlet but it was crowded, so I decided to order takeout. I felt sorry when they told me that the price was the same as dining in. I had been craving delicious coffee since noon, but couldn't find any at the bakery or iiM aquet. I ended up buying milk at a bakery and made my own café au lait to enjoy with it. It took me 4 hours to finally pay 500 yen (including tax) and get my coffee. As I waited outside, a young woman mistakenly brought me syrup instead of milk, along with some delicious sugar. The car was filled with the rich aroma of coffee, and when I added the milk I had bought, the coffee turned out to be incredibly delicious. Since the nearby parking lot was full, I decided to head home for the day. I hope to come back on a weekday to try the porridge next time.

I had some business in Shimokitazawa, so I visited on a weekday afternoon. I did my research beforehand and ordered oyakodon, lemon shochu highball, and a half-size pudding set through my mobile phone. Nowadays, many shops allow you to order through your smartphone, which made it very convenient for me. The oyakodon tasted just like the one my mother used to make, and it brought back nostalgic memories. The portion size seemed small to me, maybe because of my age, and I found it quite challenging to finish it all. Next time, I think I'll go for the alcohol and dessert set. The pudding was delicious. I thought there was less cream because it was a half-size, but it was actually just hiding at the bottom. I would like to try the larger size pudding next time. The area on this side of Shimokitazawa had fewer people, so I was able to relax and enjoy my meal.

I found out that there is a shop in Shimokitazawa that serves common ojiya as a standalone dish for the end of a hotpot meal, so I visited for a light meal before a theater performance. It was early Saturday evening and the place was about 90% full – truly a popular spot. The staff did not come to take orders or offer water. When I called them, they finally took my order. I also discovered that you have to order using a QR code, and water is self-service from a water server. I wish they had explained this to me, an embarrassed older woman. The ojiya is made one by one after ordering, so it takes a bit of time. I ordered a small beer, which turned out to be the right choice. I slowly drank the beer and just as I finished it, the ojiya arrived. A gentleman, who I assume made the dish, silently placed the hotpot at my table and left. I used a spoon from the chopstick holder at my seat, but I wonder if that was correct. Even without any toppings, the ojiya was delicious with its rich broth and salty flavor. It was just right after walking in the heat and sweating. Many other customers were eating sweets or set meals besides the ojiya. I would definitely go back if it were nearby, but it's been 25 years since I last visited Shimokitazawa, so maybe it will be another 25 years before I return. I might not even be alive by then. Thank you for the meal.

I visited the shop during the daytime on a regular day! [Shop Atmosphere] I had ramen for lunch! [Food Impressions, Staff Attitude, etc.] The atmosphere was very pleasant, and the food was satisfying. The service was good and the food was delicious, so I would like to visit again!

Tosakashi's bonito dashi blended with two types of dried bonito flakes, maximizing the flavor of eggs. A unique blend of Hokkaido kombu for a rich kombu dashi. Simple sixteen-grain rice with the natural aroma and sweetness of rice, seasoned only with seaweed salt. Topped with mentaiko and cheese, the generous L-sized porridge was mild and very gentle in flavor. The sugar-coated fried bread, when combined with the dashi, had a sweet and salty taste that was somewhat addictive. The hojicha latte after the meal warmed the heart, and I had a wonderful time. P.S. I was also happy to visit the Silent's pilgrimage site!

The idea of having an ojiya (rice porridge) showdown in the young people's town of Shimokitazawa is quite interesting. Today, I visited a cafe for the first time and while it seems to cater more towards young people, there were also many elderly customers enjoying the atmosphere. I tried the following items: - Cafe Latte: 550 yen - Vanilla Custard Pudding: 750 yen The cafe latte, served with popular Peruvian brown sugar, had a thick foam and a generous dollop of cream on top. The vanilla custard pudding was also delicious, showcasing the cafe's commitment to quality. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at this cafe.

The restaurant was apparently used in the drama "silent", but the reason I visited here was because the vocalist of [Alexandros] used to come here. The oyakodon is famous, or should I say highly recommended, but I heard a rumor that the ginger pork set meal is actually really delicious so I decided to try it. Oh, it was delicious! You can choose toppings like kimchi, mayonnaise, and one more that I can't remember, but I went with mayonnaise to go with the ginger pork. It also comes with natto, delicious kinpira, and multi-grain rice. It felt like a healthy meal~ The restaurant is also stylish, so it would be perfect for tea as well, not just meals♡

The service is very good. It's a 5-minute walk from Shimokitazawa Station, even closer from the Inokashira Line station. You can currently sit at that table. I sat at a different seat where Tamaki-chan sat. It's not crowded and highly recommended. For lunch, you can order a set meal with pasta or ginger pork.

Cake set (pudding + coffee) for 1080 yen. The firm pudding and bitter caramel gave off a classic pudding vibe, which was nice. The portion size was quite generous, and the whipped cream was light, making it easy to eat. The location was used as a filming location for the drama "Silent," and the actual seats used were designated for filming purposes.

It was a popular filming location for a TV drama, so there was a line, but surprisingly the wait was quick, about 30 minutes. The seating was a bit close to the next table, but the atmosphere was nice. The firm pudding was delicious, and the portion size was satisfyingly large.

I felt like having coffee and happened to come across a great cafe nearby. When I arrived, there was a line so I had to wait for a while. The shop seemed to offer set meals and other delicious options. The classic pudding caught my eye, and the set price was quite a deal. I ordered a hot cafe latte and the vanilla custard pudding. The classic pudding looked firm with whipped cream and a cherry on top. It could also be served with ice cream. The texture was initially firm but became softer as I ate, and it was very delicious. I found out that the cafe was used as a filming location for the drama "Silent," which explained the continuous line and many people taking photos inside. I would recommend this cafe to those who like firm puddings. It was lucky to stumble upon such a delicious cafe with a familiar interior. The cheesecake also looked tempting, so I definitely want to visit again. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

OJIYAN CAFE Shimokitazawa branch [Shimokitazawa / Lunch] The famous drama "silent" filming location_________I visited "OJIYAN CAFE" as part of a tour of filming locations for the popular drama "silent." A friend who used to live in Setagaya-Daita recommended this cafe, so I decided to check it out. I arrived around 1:30 pm and was seated right away as it wasn't too crowded. Please note that the seats used in "silent" are not available for seating. Customers can take photos of the seats whenever they like. I ordered the Ojiya Curry Flavor (850 yen). My friend recommended the regular Ojiya, but I wanted to try something different. The hot Ojiya was perfect for the cold weather ☃️ It was delicious and really warmed me up! The cute octopus-shaped wiener and crispy sweet fried bread were great accents to the meal. I would definitely visit this place again if it were closer to where I live ☺️ I posted about my "silent" filming location tour on my Instagram (@ranko_foodie), so feel free to check it out! Thank you for the meal! Please check out my other posts as well!

In the second episode of "silent", Meguro Ren and Naho were featured. I couldn't remember why I bookmarked it, but I remembered that there was a cafe near the station with pudding, so I decided to visit. The cafe is a long, narrow shop facing the road. There are many table seats lined up by the window, and there are sofa seats in the back. It is simple yet stylish with decorations like dried flowers. The water is self-service near the entrance. I ordered the following: - Cake Set 1080 yen The sweet was a classic vanilla custard pudding. I also ordered a cafe latte. The classic-looking pudding was topped with cherries and almost unsweetened whipped cream, and it was delicious with a firm texture. The cafe latte was light with more milk than I would have liked, but considering the price for this set near Shimokitazawa station, I can't complain. The staff were friendly. As the name suggests, they also have dishes like rice porridge and set meals, so I would like to try them next time.

Store Name: BIo Ojiyan Cafe Shimokitazawa Location: 1F, 5-35-25 Daeda, Setagaya-ku, Tokyo Nearest Station: 3 minutes walk from Shimokitazawa Station West Exit Business Hours: 11:00-20:00 (Last Order 19:00) Closed on: No regular holidays At first, I didn't realize it was "Ojiyan" because it's in katakana, but this is a very stylish cafe that serves "Ojiya" (rice porridge). This time, I used it as a cafe. Ordered: - Vanilla Ice Cream & Vanilla Custard Pudding Set: 1,080 yen The pudding was soft with a subtle sweetness and a strong egg flavor, paired with sweet vanilla ice cream. The acidity of the cherries added a nice touch! I was able to spend a relaxing time sipping coffee. Thank you very much!
