The best pancakes in Japan. I visited on a weekday afternoon, and it was very quiet and comfortable. I stopped by because I was craving pancakes for the first time in a while, and they were so good I was blown away. They were light and not heavy at all, so even though we shared them and ate the equivalent of 1.5 pancakes between two of us, we finished them with no problem. I want to come back again.

Three thick pancakes are stacked high, and the soft, airy rise of the batter is exciting to see. When you take a bite, it feels light and delicate, with the rich flavor of ricotta cheese and a gentle touch of sweetness spreading across your palate. The natural sweetness of the banana and the richness of the honeycomb butter come together beautifully, so I could enjoy every bite without getting tired of it.

・Eggs Benedict pancakes
They were incredibly delicious‼️‼️‼️The salty flavor and the sweetness of the pancakes were a perfect match. The chewy type of pancakes came stacked in two layers. I ate the top layer as is, and poured the maple syrup served on the side over the bottom layer to make it sweet. Perfect.

• Berry and Cream Cheese Pancakes
For dessert, I tried these much talked about pancakes for the first time, and they really were good. They were not airy, but pleasantly chewy without feeling heavy, and while the sauce around them was sweet, you can adjust that, so I finished one in no time. It may have been just the right amount.

We shared the pancakes with a friend, and what made them really great was the just-right size and how they did not feel heavy at all! It is nice that you can finish them easily even after a meal! The cream also has just the right amount of sweetness, so it is nice that it does not get in the way of the pancakes' simple flavor♪

Truly 5 stars. You can tell the staff service and the quality of the interior have both been carefully thought out in many ways to make customers happy. The hospitality is amazing. The pancakes were delicious, and the chai latte was also very good. I went without a reservation, but I had to wait a little, so it may be better to book ahead. I would definitely come back!

In the end, I went with the pancakes topped with cheese, and being able to pour sweet syrup over plenty of cheese made me really Manzoku. Even my friend who ordered the sweet pancakes got a small block of bacon on the side, which was honestly the best.

By slowly steaming them as they cook, these pancakes turn out surprisingly light and fluffy despite their thickness. This time, the "matcha butter pancakes" were topped lavishly with waguri (Japanese chestnut) matcha Mont Blanc. The matcha butter, melted with a kitchen torch, is rich and intense. They finish it by piping on plenty of waguri matcha Mont Blanc and scattering gold leaf on top♬

Whenever I come to Odaiba, I always find myself drawn into Eggs 'n Things... At first glance, it looks super sweet! But when you actually eat it, the whipped cream is so light and not overly sweet, so you can finish it in no time. Pour maple syrup over the top, and it becomes a moment of pure bliss. Sweet treats really do make you happy when you eat them!

It was loaded with a wide variety of carefully prepared fruit, so much so that it felt more like a fruit assortment with pancakes on the side, and the portion was big enough that one for two people would have been plenty, but we each finished ours!
