Moi Nerima

On the second floor of 順天堂大学医学部附属練馬病院, モア 練馬店 serves everything from substantial meals to café fare, despite its location inside a hospital. Among the standouts on the menu are Kokkai Curry and Kokkai Katsu Curry, offerings tied to a sister restaurant with a location inside Japan’s National Diet. The katsu curry is made with 阪東もち豚 pork and comes with salad and soup, pairing a richly flavoured curry sauce with the cutlet.

The menu also reaches beyond Western-style dishes to Chinese choices, including a spicy mapo tofu set meal, Cantonese noodles with plenty of toppings, and gomoku fried rice with shrimp and crab. In the morning, the choices include an omelette-and-toast set, a Japanese breakfast and a hotcake set, making it convenient for breakfast between appointments or while accompanying someone to the hospital.

There is also a generous choice of desserts for after a meal or an afternoon pause. Options include a Mont Blanc topped with marron cream and chestnuts with their inner skins, and a chocolate cake with walnuts, alongside Japanese sweets such as shiratama cream anmitsu and shiratama zenzai. Coffee and tea are available too, and the calm surroundings make it possible to spend some quiet time here.
