Magyc House

 

A few weeks ago (around July 16th) Magyc House opened and, from the moment I saw them online, I knew I had to go with my friends. Specially because of the Taiyaki! We all know how much I love desserts.

So yeah, las weekend we decided to go check it out and I have to say, we really liked it.

The place is divided in two parts, one is the showroom, which is basically a big store that has a bit of everything: anime and movie merch, clothes, accessories, japanese candy, etc. I didn't take any pictures there but we decided to explore the store before the cafeteria. We liked so many things! I have to go back with more money cuz they had lots of things I want. 

After checking the store and buying just a couple of things (actually my friends bought more than me) we moved on to the cafeteria, which is right next to the store to get some Taiyaki.

I loved how the place is decorated! The walls are manga inspired, all black and white with led lights sign thingies that give a pop of color to the place. I forgot to take pics of the other walls but they are defo cool photo spots if you like anime and manga.

Even the tables had manga-like designs.

Their menu includes Taiyaki, of course, some drinks, manju and other snacks. Prices wise, I think it was reasonable, at least the taiyaki cuz guys, they are huge!!

You can customize your taiyaki with different toppings, sauces and choose your ice cream flavor.

The staff were really nice and patient with us, specially considering how loud we can be, hehe. One thing I did notice was the taiyaki and the drinks took a while to arrive. 

In general, it was a fun experience and I know we will be back, whether it is to buy or to eat, or both! But, we will. Highly recommended if you're an otaku like myself or if you like desserts that can be a little extra and picture worthy. It's cool to have a place like this in my city.

I'll link their socials so you can check them out:

いただきます！ | Wabi Sabi |

"Wabi Sabi is an ancient aesthetic philosophy rooted in Zen Buddhism, particularly the tea ceremony, a ritual of purity and simplicity in which masters prized bowls that were handmade and irregularly shaped, with uneven glaze, cracks, and a perverse beauty in their deliberate imperfection."

Japanese food has to be my favorite food in this world, I could eat it everyday if possible. My friends share that passion with me so we got together and decided to visit Wabi Sabi for lunch.

Wabi Sabi is a Japanese restaurant I discovered a few years ago thanks to my friend Lu. We had tea and taiyaki there once, but I never actually had a proper meal until now. 

The way the presented the tea was very pretty.

Yum!

The second time I went there was because they had a little Hello Kitty event. I quickly stopped by with my mom, bought a few things and... had taiyaki again! This was before the pandemic, of course. 

It was nice to finally try some of their dishes. The place is pretty cute actually, nothing too fancy but it's a nice, open place to eat. I believe before the pandemic they even had live music and little market sales every now and then.

 

Cute fishies welcome you to the place

I really liked this crane wall

Koinobori at the entrance.

Luckily, it wasn't crowded when we were there. They have less tables available at the moment and of course, take out service. We chose a combo that included a mini ramen, sushi rolls, onigiri and a drink. (I forgot the name of it tho~~~) 

My onigiri had breaded shrimp inside, it was absolutely delicious.

Happy to be reunited!

Everything was pretty good. I was full when I finished my meal. Cuz yeah, I ate the whole thing.

"Agua Bonita" I tried mango-mint water. It was really refreshing!!

The staff was nice and they didn't take forever delivering our food. Prices wise, I think it's good, especially for the amount you get. 

I'll leave their IG account in case you wanna check it out and visit them some time.
