House-Special "Brulee Pancakes" with a Caramelized Finish

This hybrid pancake layers fluffy pancakes with a generous amount of the restaurant's original custard cream, finished with a caramelized surface. Each pancake is carefully cooked to order, then torched at the table for a fragrant caramel aroma and crisp texture. The combination of light, airy pancakes, rich and smooth custard cream, and bittersweet caramel creates a distinctive balance of flavors and textures. Preparation takes some time, but the freshly finished taste has made this a featured menu item in numerous media outlets.

Freshly Made, Fluffy Pancakes Straight from the Griddle

"Brulee Pancakes" are prepared only after each order is placed so they can be served freshly made, with a distinctive flavor that sets them apart. The tableside finishing presentation also draws many diners to take photos, making this a well-received menu item remembered for both its taste and visual appeal.
Drinks to Sip While the Pancakes Are Being Prepared

Dishes are cooked only after each order is placed, with no advance preparation, reflecting a commitment to serving food freshly made. Because preparation takes some time, a menu with two drinks is available to make the wait part of the experience: the first drink is served while the dish is being prepared, and the second accompanies the meal. The menu reflects the restaurant's motto, "Worth the wait."

In addition to the "Brulee Pancakes," finished with a tableside presentation, the menu features a wide range of carefully prepared dishes.

The bright, white-toned interior offers a calm, comfortable setting suited to a variety of occasions, including gatherings with friends and mothers' groups. A broad selection of takeout items is also available for dining at home or as a souvenir during a trip.
