Uramesshiya Mononoke Cafeteria – うらめしや もののけしょくどう (Children’s Picture Book)

Step into the mysterious yet charming world of the Uramesshiya Mononoke Cafeteria (うらめしや もののけしょくどう), where ordinary household items transform into quirky monsters and gather for a midnight feast.

This picture book introduces readers to the whimsical restaurant “Uramesshiya,” where chef Taishō serves up bizarre yet delightful dishes. From “Battery Sushi” devoured by Mr. Remote Control to “Fluffy Cotton Hamburger” for Ms. Cushion and “Dusty Soup” for Mr. Vacuum, every plate is cleverly tied to the objects’ real-world identities.

Though the characters are mononoke (spirits) and obake (ghosts), they are not scary but rather lovable, funny, and slightly eerie in a way that sparks curiosity instead of fear. With its unique concept and playful art, the book appeals to kids who love monsters, yokai, and imaginative food stories.

At its heart, Uramesshiya Mononoke Cafeteria is a story that makes children laugh, encourages them to look at everyday household objects with fresh eyes, and leaves them craving a snack after reading. Perfect for fans of Japanese folklore, ghost stories, or quirky picture books.
