Night cafe & pancakes. Recently, in a photo magazine, voice actor Takahiro Sakurai's marriage was reported. For fans, it feels like "what's the big deal" but... Although it hasn't been publicly announced, it has been an open secret for a long time that Sakurai is married, so fans were already aware. It's impressive how there was no backlash at all. However, it seems like the reporters have been following Sakurai closely. Nowadays, voice actors have to be prepared for weekly magazines. It's tough. Sakurai's response to the reporters was mature, stating that he is indeed married but it doesn't affect his acting career, so he won't be making any public statements about it in the future. His agency also quickly released a supporting statement, showing that they are in sync with the wishes of their voice actors. Well, the president is close friends with Suzumura after all. However, according to the magazine, Sakurai lives in a house worth over a billion yen... Sakurai doesn't do any singing activities, so most of his earnings are likely from his acting work. In the past, it was said that voice actors couldn't make much money, but it seems like a dream situation now. Similarly, the epitome of dreamy food, pancakes (a bit forced). Most specialty stores close around evening, making it difficult to visit after work. However, "Meringue Shibuya" is a rare cafe where you can enjoy pancakes until 10:00 pm. This Hawaiian cafe chain has multiple locations in Tokyo, Saitama, Kanagawa, etc., and I have visited the Kawaguchi store once. Being located in Shibuya, where these types of stores are often found in commercial facilities, this street-side store is quite large and has a laid-back Hawaiian atmosphere, which is important. Street-side stores are a big plus for me. They also have terrace seating and palm trees outside the store. The interior is L-shaped with tables for two and large groups. Near the entrance, the store's equipment was casually placed, but the menu offers a wide range of options. I went for the pancakes, but they also have a variety of meals from burgers to loco moco and pasta. For those looking for a hearty meal or just pancakes, the menu caters to both. Here's what I had: - Ripe apple mango and coconut ice cream pancake: A limited-time offering with beautifully shaped mango slices. The pancakes were fluffy and melt-in-your-mouth, topped with mango sauce and coconut ice cream inside. The juicy sweetness of the mango and refreshing coconut were delightful. - Blueberry pancake: Another visually appealing dish with blueberry sauce and yogurt sauce on top of three pancakes. The burst of blueberries and the yogurt in the pancakes created a smooth and flavorful taste. Adding lemon halfway through provided a refreshing twist. I haven't had pancakes from Meringue in a while! Next time, I want to try their strawberry pancakes they offer in winter. Thank you for the meal!

⭐️Recommended Points⭐️ ◆A shop with a relaxed Hawaiian resort atmosphere ◆The freshly baked, fluffy pancakes are addictive once you try them ◆In addition to pancakes, there are many delicious local foods available The menu was developed with the question "What is happiness among the many pancakes available?" The result is the fluffiest pancake in Japan, made with plenty of meringue. One bite of this pancake instantly brings a feeling of happiness. I tried it with rich cream, bitter caramel, and Lorraine rock salt milk ice cream, and it was delicious. You definitely shouldn't miss out on this! 🥞✨

The pancakes apparently take about 30 minutes to be served, but other food items are quick. I ordered the jambalaya and it came out quickly, which was a relief. It seems like they have slightly revamped the menu, as the jambalaya tasted spicier than before and the texture of the meat on top was different. It is quite spicy, so I recommend it to those who enjoy spicy food. For reference, I asked for the fried egg to be removed. I also tried the pancakes when I had more time before, and they were also delicious.

I tried the limited edition Berry Chocolate Pancake at Merenge, which includes 5 types of fresh berries and plenty of chocolate cream. This unique combination of chocolate and berries may seem strange for this time of year, but it was delicious. When you peel off the film, a mix of 5 fruits (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, and raspberries) and chocolate sauce flow out. The pancakes were fluffy and had a nice bounce to them, with 3 layers and a generous amount of chocolate sauce. I was able to enjoy the fresh and sweet-sour berries without any issues. If you've never experienced the excitement of peeling off the film on pancakes, now is your chance. Thank you for the meal!

I went to have a snack. It's a Hawaiian-style restaurant located on the first floor of a building just outside Shibuya Station's New South Exit. I visited as part of my pilgrimage to locations from the anime "Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Comedy wa Machigatteiru" before the summer comic market, thinking that the pancakes Yamada ate in the Christmas episode might be from here. The exterior of the restaurant is identified as being similar to an Italian restaurant in another location in Shibuya, but that restaurant does not serve pancakes, so the rumor is that the pancakes from the manga are from here. I ordered the strawberry pancake and coffee. My friend ordered grapefruit juice and ginger ale. We were told it would take 30 minutes for the pancakes to be ready. After walking around in the scorching heat for our pilgrimage to various locations like Washitashina Station and Musashi-Koyama, it was actually a relief to have some time to rest while waiting. When the pancakes arrived, they looked fluffy with a lot of meringue, just like in the menu description. They were fluffy to the eye, but had a satisfying texture when eaten. The strawberry jam had a slightly strong acidity. As a fan of sweet things, I wanted to add more whipped cream, but I restrained myself since there was more to eat afterwards. The coffee was Kona coffee, so it had a bit of a strong acidity that I'm not a fan of. It's Hawaiian Kona coffee, so it can't be helped. I give it a basic rating of 3 stars. It takes time for the pancakes to be ready, but they looked nice and tasted decent. They also serve burgers, so maybe next time I'll try the burger and the sweet pancakes.

The quality of the food is not bad, but the overall impression is that the prices are high considering the atmosphere and service. The staff lacks a bit of attentiveness, as we often had to ask for water or utensils instead of being offered proactively.

I went in June. I had the creme brulee pancake. It cost 1738 yen. The pancake alone was enough to fill me up, it was quite a large portion. The pancake itself was not too sweet, so the custard on top helped balance the sweetness. It was quite flavorful and I was able to enjoy it until the end without getting tired of it.

◽️Limited to Shibuya store‼️Brulee Pancake◽️Egg Benedict Only available at Shibuya store, the Brulee Pancake takes about 30 minutes to prepare, ensuring you get to enjoy it piping hot. It comes with ice cream and caramel sauce on the side, making it even better when eaten together! You can also use the syrup on the table to enhance the flavor. The Egg Benedict looks amazing with the egg on top! The combination of bacon, egg, and muffin is just perfect. The sauce on top is so addictive, you'll want to keep eating it over and over again. The interior of the store is stylish with orange light bulbs, perfect for taking Instagram-worthy photos. Be sure to visit Merengue Shibuya store if you're a couple, with friends, or a mom. No reservations needed, there's also a terrace in front of the entrance. Birthday plates are also available.

This time, it was only drinks, but the interior of the shop was spacious with relaxing seats. The staff's service was also pleasant. The shop is themed after Hawaii, so there were many types of pancakes. I would like to try the pancakes next time.

I visited on the last day of the melon pan pancakes. I got carried away and ordered one pancake per person and even a main dish, so I was quite full, but it was incredibly delicious. I'm looking forward to the next melon event! I will visit again!

The atmosphere of the shop was really nice! The cake was baked after ordering and was fluffy. There were so many menu options that I had a hard time deciding, so I want to try others next time! I ordered a cafe latte and it came with a strawberry milk set, which looked really delicious, so I want to try that next time too. I had three slices of cake and ended up feeling full. For women, it might be good to share with a friend!

I walked past Shibuya Stream and found this restaurant just 1.2 minutes away. It's located on the first floor of GEMS Gourmet Building. The interior has a Hawaiian atmosphere. I came here for the pancakes! It takes about 20 minutes to make them fresh after ordering, but it's worth it for the fluffy pancakes. It's a great place for a girls' night out or a date to relax and chat. I ordered the Macadamia Nut Cream Pancakes. I wanted to enjoy the Hawaiian vibe, so I chose this instead of a simpler option. The three-tiered pancakes were so fluffy that they jiggled when I shook the plate. The Macadamia nuts added a nice touch. The sauce was delicious too! The Strawberry Milk with pulp that I ordered was refreshing and not too sweet. My friend's hamburger was huge and surprisingly tasty, even though I'm not a fan of burgers. The menu has a lot of other delicious options as well. I would love to come back here again! Thank you for the meal!

Shop Name: Merengue Shibuya Store Nearest Station: 1 minute walk from JR Shibuya Station New South Exit Business Hours: 10:00-17:00 (Last Order 16:00) Open on Sundays Closed: Year-end and New Year holidays Rating: ★★☆ (out of 3) There are many cafes and pancake shops in Shibuya, and after much deliberation, I ended up here. Like everywhere else, it's mostly just girls and couples. I couldn't decide between the creme brulee and tiramisu, but ended up choosing the tiramisu. The mascarpone had just the right amount of sweetness. The pancakes were fluffy but quite filling. I left feeling very full.

Visited on Saturday at 4:00 pm. Surprisingly, there was plenty of seating available despite expecting it to be full. It took 20-30 minutes for the order to be ready, as they make the meringue from scratch. - Creme brulee pancake - Strawberry pancake - Mixed juice The pancakes were unexpectedly fluffy and bouncy, not the fizzy type but rather soft and fluffy. The whipped cream and salted vanilla were refreshing and light, not too heavy. The creme brulee and strawberry jam toppings were just the right amount of sweetness, not too overwhelming. The mixed juice was very fruity and delicious! It looked cute too. There were so many juice options, it was hard to choose. I want to try them all. Thank you for the meal! ^_^

My lazy sister kept saying she wanted to eat Hawaiian pancakes with lots of cream and macadamia nuts, but she never made any effort to go out. So, I used my talent as an Instagram foodie to find the most Hawaiian-feeling restaurant and took her there. She ordered the closest thing to what she had in mind, while I ordered one with fruit on top. We waited about 15 minutes for them to make it from meringue, and finally, the dream Hawaiian pancakes arrived for my sister! The fluffy, slightly sweet dough with the refreshing acidity of the fruit made it delicious! Her cream version was a bit too rich and sweet for me, but she said it was "mildly sweet and easy to eat." By the way, the name of the restaurant is "Meringue"! At first glance, I thought it was "Meringue"! My sister, who is also in her thirties like me, was so happy and excited like a child about how delicious it was! Thank you for the meal!

Located on the 1st floor of GEMS, just a stone's throw away from Shibuya's South Exit, is a Hawaiian cafe. Their fluffy meringue pancakes remind me of the ones from the good old days at Chaka. They may look filling, but they are surprisingly light and easy to finish in one go! When topped with a bittersweet brulee, butter whip, and vanilla ice cream, it becomes an absolutely delicious treat that will make your cheeks drop. With a wide variety of menu options and all-day dining, it's convenient and easy to use. I will definitely be visiting again!

I wanted to eat fluffy pancakes so I went to a place I hadn't been to before by myself. I had chiffon pancakes topped with chocolate sauce and banana! It was difficult to make it look cute... The meringue made it fluffy and airy, and there was plenty of whipped cream and chocolate, which I love. Even with just two pancakes, the sweetness was already satisfying... Next time, I'll share it with someone.

#Today's sweet treat, Blueberry Pancakes from Meringue Shibuya store. My friend got the Whipped Butter Pancakes, and added whipped butter for an extra 100 yen. The whipped butter is a must for butter lovers, one pancake is just not enough! The Blueberry Pancakes have yogurt inside, but it could use a little something extra, maybe some cream cheese. The pancakes themselves are delicious, so the Whipped Butter option is recommended. It was quiet as it was a weekday afternoon to evening, so we ended up staying longer. Reasonably priced, wide menu selection, and friendly staff, making it a cozy place to hang out. We also tried the fried chicken, which was tasty. If this place was closer, I would definitely be a regular customer.

During Golden Week, I visited a restaurant in Tokyo with a friend who was traveling. We had a few children with us, along with a stroller, and the male staff was very attentive and helpful from the moment we were seated. Even my husband, who is usually critical of service, commented on how clear and polite the explanations were, and how pleasant the staff was. We only intended to have tea and pancakes, but ended up staying for dinner because we felt so comfortable. The Macadamia Nut Cream Pancakes were delicious, not too sweet, and the menu had a good variety at reasonable prices. The staff, including what seemed to be a new female employee, were all great and made us feel welcome. There were many young women customers, so I think this place will become even more popular. Despite the accident of breaking a transparent partition, the staff handled it kindly and reassuringly. We were sent off with well wishes for our trip, and even though my friend was the only one traveling, I actually live nearby and will definitely visit again. Thank you so much.

Today's sweet treat is the whipped butter pancake from Meringue Shibuya. It's delicious. The texture of the pancake is fluffy. This is my first time trying the plain flavor, and it's really good. And all this for only 680 yen is amazing! You can also change up the flavor with the maple syrup on the table. In addition to pancakes, they also have a variety of meal options like Hawaiian dishes, steak, pizza, burgers, and appetizers. Right now, they seem to be having a lobster fair. It's very American. But the pancakes are not the typical Hawaiian style. They are incredibly fluffy. It takes some time to make them, so it's best to go when you have time to spare. From 5 pm, the lighting inside the restaurant becomes dim. It's been a while since I last had these pancakes, and they are still great. I'm glad they opened a Shibuya branch. It's right in front of JR Shibuya Station, New South Exit.
