One side of the venue is decorated with Japanese-style menu boards, featuring highly realistic food images and prices. Just like a regular restaurant, a variety of delicious dishes are served to customers throughout the day, whether they prefer sashimi rice bowls, ramen, yakitori, or exquisite desserts. With a careful look, the audience will notice the adorable raccoon behind the pictures, which is actually the embodiment of Maomomiji. The raccoon’s happy expression while enjoying food adds to the deliciousness of the dishes.
