After dinner, I wanted to have something sweet at a cafe that was still open in the evening, and I came across this crepe shop! I had used it for lunch and as a cafe before, but I didn't know they were open in the evening as well. I had only been to the main store before, so I was surprised to find out they also have a branch at Herbis! I visited just before 9:00 pm, and it was quite busy. It's nice to have a place where you can relax and use it as a cafe even at night. I have tried various crepes and galettes at this shop, but personally, the French sucre crepe is the best by far! This time, I went for the Basic Crepe Set (French sucre) for ¥1320. The French sucre crepe looks very simple at first glance. It seemed too simple to be enticing, but once I tried it, I was really surprised by how delicious it was! The crepe batter, Echire butter, sugar, and vanilla ice cream make up a very simple composition. Is this enough to feel satisfied? I wondered, but it is indeed enough!! Before eating, sprinkle sugar all over according to your preference. I like to use plenty of it until it's all gone♡ Melt the Echire butter and enjoy. The overlapping part of the crepe has a chewy texture that is fantastic! The batter itself has a subtle sweetness, and the sugar adds a slightly crunchy texture, making it very delicious! The cooking of the batter is exquisite, with no feeling of excessive dehydration and not undercooked either, just perfectly cooked. On the other end, it is crispy and crunchy. This part also has a different charm and is outstanding♡ A little bit of a toasted aroma adds to the lightness of it. This crepe showcases the ingredients of butter, wheat, and sugar in a simple way, and the taste goes beyond its appearance. The balance of everything is excellent♪ Top it with vanilla ice cream, and the warm crepe paired with the cold ice cream is divine! When it comes to crepes, one usually thinks of whipped cream, but there is absolutely no need for it here. The satisfaction level is so high. It pairs perfectly with black tea. For crepe lovers, this is a must-try exquisite crepe! While crepes loaded with cream, fruits, and sauce are appealing, trying this simple crepe here will open up a new world for you. It's a great place to pop in alone for a quick bite or to relax and chat with friends. So, the next time you feel like having crepes in Umeda, feel free to use this place!
