Picturesque thick hot cake.Although it is an orthodox, it is a solid one that does not get tired.A masterpiece created by master repeatedly.I do not do anything fancy to compare with recently popular pancakes.It is a hot cake of human national treasure thing that I want you to continue making it in good health forever.

I tried to visit at noon on weekdays.It happens to be very emptyI was able to get back to the table immediately.There is no lunch set menuBecause it is only a single item priceBecause I am over 1,000 yen when I ask a drink for cookingTo visit lunch every timeYour wallet seems to be tough.It was delicious with old-fashioned Napolitan.I am deeply moved about the thickness of the hot cake.It may be only this time, but the inside was a bit burned out.

An old-fashioned coffee shop famous for its thick, two-tiered pancakes (550 yen) that appear in manga. I was able to enter the store immediately during the daytime on weekdays. Even if the hot cake is not crowded, it takes 20 to 30 minutes to serve it, so I want to visit with plenty of time. It's a tightly packed volume that just fills your stomach. Many people ask for pilaf (around 700 yen) or Napolitan (650 yen) for lunch, but it seems that they can be served quickly and easily. The orange squash was handmade with raw fruits, which was unexpectedly delicious. I can imagine that lemon squash would be delicious. Unfortunately, it seems that smoking is OK and there is no smoking.

A simple coffee shop in a residential area. When I visited on Sunday afternoon, it was full.She seemed to be busy with her gentle wife and her husband, who seemed to be strong at first glance, but casually caring for her.This time, I ordered a cafe au lait and pancakes. Baking pancakes one by one takes time. The outside was crispy and the inside was quite heavy, and it felt more like fluffy than slick.

Nothing tastes worse than freshly baked hot cakes. It is powdery and cannot be swallowed.I don't know if he became a tengu because it was popular, but he was arrogant.Overlooking customers.

This place was amazing! As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by the warmest owner. There are no English menus but fret not, the best places are ones with no English menus. You’re going for the pancakes anyways so you don’t need a menu. But if you are curious, the owner does speak English! I had the pancakes, of course, and hot chocolate. Oh my, it was delicious!! Definitely recommend if you want to try the Japanese style pancake! It’s a very local spot. Quaint and quiet. Away from all the tourists. It can be intimidating walking into a place alone but the owner was so sweet and friendly. He asked where I was from and how long I was in Japan for. A truly genuine kindness. Wonderful start to my day!!

It was about 10 minutes walk from the Oyama station into a residential area.As there is only one signboard beside the entrance, it is likely to be overlooked.The game console was used as a table with a woody Showa atmosphere inside the store.There weren't so many menus, but they were all delicious. However, the uncle's customer service attitude by the shopkeeper was unfriendly and poor, and the taste of the dishes at the angle was halved.It has been crowded since the recent pancake boom introduced this hot cake, and depending on the time of day we may wait outside.By the way, because it takes time to bake the hot cake, you will be asked first about your order.

This was such a great little find.Set in a 1950’s style Italian-American diner, complete with Pinocchio memorabilia, the owner and his wife serve up some of the best pancakes I’ve ever had. The hot chocolate is also fantastic! We will be back again soon!

It's a nice walk from the train station through residential area to this non-touristy place. The owner and his wife were very happy to receive us. We had the very special and amazing pancakes. Then afterwards go across the other side of the trains Tatiana for shopping and lots of local shopping!

I have been going to the famous store for about 10 yearsA coffee shop with delicious pancakes.It ’s actually organic besides pancakesDelicious menu such as lemon squashMany but only those who know.Now that it has become too famous,Be careful as it will be useless. on that dayThe absolute number of pancakes you can make is decidedRandom without phone confirmation or reservationIf it's going to go out, it's just after the store closes due to lack of materialHatsumi absolutely confirms the phone call because he falls into a situation.He has a strong relationship with the locals and can be reservedTelephone contact / confirmation is mandatory because it is common.As an aside, give big frozen food manufacturers production rightsAlthough I forgave, even the latest AIThe skill has not been acquired and it has not yet been commercialized."I don't care for mass production"A word from the manager, but impossible with modern science.

A master of job popularity quality, it has been 45 years since its opening, and has started its hot cake approximately 25 years ago and its history is shallow. Monday afternoon, one customer, my only one. I took off the master who allowed me to shoot from the burning place. Hot cakes with simple ingredients are difficult to learn if you look at them.

This store is about 11 minutes walk from Oyama station.Since it's a famous place for hot cakes, it took about 30 minutes as I ordered it and it seemed to be made very carefully.However, the pancake itself was very delicious unlike the pancakes I have eaten so far.

Came here for the pancakes and they did not disappoint. They have a crunch on the outside and are fluffy inside. Great deal for about ¥500. The host/chef is also very kind and spoke English well.

Access to this shop is introduced in a 10-minute walk from Oyama Station on the basic Tobu Line,Unless the bus from Ikebukuro gets caught in traffic, I think it ’s easy to get there.Is Master ’s love for regular customers?It was a surprise for me who went there for the first time.Apart from that, it's okay.The hot cake is not a recent fluffy shush, but it feels full of powder.I like that type of hot cake,This is the most powdery as far as I know.If you don't have syrup and drinks, it may be a bit painful.However, although it is cheap, a hot cake that is baked and tall after receiving an order at the store,It is also a very valuable shop.

A neighboring venue for your neighborhood madam and its daughters? Even though it is. · · (゚ ∈ ゚), the traditional coffee shop atmosphere is calm and you can spend your coffee time Spaghetti Napolitan is a spicy adult Naples like a whole sample? A hot cake like a model is worth a meal (o ^ - ') b!

Both Showa Napolitan and thick pancakes are satisfying, after lunch, and on Saturdays and Sundays. I think more people will come near the station.

Wonderful, ambiance, small but oh so cozy little place. There are not many restaurants around so this place is a find. Warm with leather seats, wood interior and subtle jazz music in the background. They have antique but working video games for tables. The husband and wife duo doesn’t speak english but they are so friendly and accommodating. And the food of course is really good. Clearly made with pride in their business. Loved this place.

It is delicious that the hot cake will burn slowly over time. We went in the morning of weekdays, but people were included. I think that it is better to have some time for the hot cake because it takes time to bake. I asked for spaghetti, but that was also a nostalgic and delicious taste of spaghetti in a coffee shop. The hot cake seems to be firm and full rather than fluffy ('-`*)

It seems that there is nothing like a coffee shop in the quiet residential area ... but the fact is that the customers visit from overseas as well. Hot cakes baking over time are worth a meal. Recommended pasta and pilaf other than hot cake. In the procession of the matrix.

I was guided by a local and ate a thick lemon squash (using one lemon) and a hot cake. The first one was as it was and the second one was butter and maple syrup stain.An old table game? There was and was nostalgic. Unfortunately the game didn't seem to work.Next time, I want to try Neapolitan.

Arrived at 11:30. The interior of the store is already half filled. Inside the store there are table seats, counter seats, games seats that seems to be possible also in invader games, etc. It is fairly wide spread. Almost all of the customers who were already in the store were asking for pancakes. Here I ordered pancakes and mountain vegetable pilaf. Pancake was firmly baked and thought that there was a feeling of a little moisture, but it is very good when putting chasing syrup! Wild vegetable pilaf is neither good nor bad. I thought that there were few wild vegetables. When the inside of the store was crowded the order of pancakes seemed to take quite a while.

Went there on a weekday. Was almost empty. The hotcakes are cheap, beautiful and delicious. The owner is friendly and very kind. He is running this place for over 50 years now. And while on weekday to get a seat is pretty easy, on weekends there is always a line. No reservations taken!! So if you have time, go on the weekday. Interior is also amazing. You can feel the old Tokyo. So peaceful. I would highly recommend this place, especially if you are already nearby or at least around Ikebukuro area.

Questions & Answers

I think smoking is probably because the inside of the store did not smell cigarettes.

There is no private parking.

Yes, we have it! ️
