This is the best pancake in the world! I took a day off and went on a day trip from Sapporo to Tokyo for a pancake tour. I made a reservation at 8:00 p.m. the day before and arrived at the restaurant 15 minutes early as planned. It was my first visit since they moved, and I felt that the atmosphere inside the restaurant was very nice, although it was a bit of a walk from the station. They have started selling scones too! The butter with red bean paste looked like too much butter at first, but when I tried it, it was smooth and light with a delicious taste that goes well with the red bean paste. I'll buy the green tea one next time... My sister ordered the No.1 Akari, and I ordered the Taiyo like last time. In conclusion, both are so good that it's hard to choose, so it's better to order both when you go with more than two people. Taiyo really captures the hearts of pancake lovers with its classic pancake topped with Canadian maple syrup, whipped cream, and vanilla ice cream, allowing you to fully enjoy the taste of the pancake batter. Akari was so delicious with plenty of whipped cream! I will definitely go back again. Or I hope they open a second store in Sapporo. Thank you for considering it!

No matter how many times I go, I am always impressed by the pancake cafe called Chaka. It is easy to enter even if you are alone, and it is recommended for couples as well. Reservations are a must! The reservations start from 8:00 pm the day before, and sometimes it fills up in less than 5 minutes due to high demand. But if you have good timing, you might find availability in the evening or they might distribute same-day tickets. If you live nearby, you might be able to go. The pancakes are made with meringue, creating a fluffy texture, and the cream is rich and creamy, guaranteeing deliciousness! They also offer seasonal fruit pancakes, and this time I tried the Shine Muscat pancake. It had a yogurt cream that was light and easy to eat, and I finished it in no time (laughs). I will definitely go back again!

Occasionally, there are days when you can make a reservation even after 8:00 pm at this hidden gem of a place! When that happens, I can't help but make a reservation even though I feel like it's a waste. But when I think about it, there are also same-day reservations available, so I guess it all works out in the end. It's just a parent's heart talking. The grapes this month, or should I say muscat grapes, are so sweet! Even the skin is delicious! The refreshing yogurt pairs perfectly with the creamy acidity of the cream. The cream that comes on top is so good that the second and third bites were just as enjoyable. The grape sherbet or gelato on this parfait is amazing. Even though this is a pancake shop, they sure know how to make delicious treats. They never cut corners and always use homemade ingredients to keep us satisfied every time. It's still hot outside, but with these delicious grapes, I can feel the beginning of autumn.

Tea Fragrance: At Kitasenju, they serve fluffy pancakes that are surprisingly not sweet like a meal! I ordered the set for ¥2100. The cheese was poured right in front of me. It quickly hardened in the cold air. It was gone in no time. There was pepper, but it lacked a punch. I think pancakes are more satisfying when they're sweet.

Oh! When I checked the reservation site, I saw that there was availability! So, I made a reservation even though I had just been there a few days ago, haha. Instead of the usual height, Shirokuma is sitting on top in a relaxed way. I love cream, so I was a little disappointed that there wasn't much cream, but Shirokuma was unexpectedly cute! I think it was gelato with pineapple and something else mixed in? It was delicious. The homemade gelato at Chaka-san is always reliably tasty. I love the unique twist they put on it. It might be nice to have another bear head on top! No, that would be horror, haha. The last photo shows the orange sauce that was generously drizzled on top. Instead of cutting it straight down, I recommend trying each piece with different flavors.

This month was a fierce battle. Reservations were almost full in seconds (cry) I tried to make a same-day reservation three times, and finally managed to get there! I can't miss the peach and autumn pumpkin. Last year's peach was soft and sweet. This year's peach was firm and refreshing. It's a matter of preference, but those who like sweet things may find it a bit lacking. However, the slightly salty dough and the usual generous cream elevated the satisfaction level. Normally, the peach next to the pancake would be just a sidekick, but not at this cafe. The peach next to the pancake is almost as prominent as the pancake itself! This luxury is the charm of this pancake ☆ I won't be able to see it this year, but I look forward to meeting again next year.

I revisited Chaka-san to eat peach pancakes. It was very popular and hard to make a reservation! The fluffy pancakes, sweet and delicious peaches, and perfectly sweet whipped cream were all gone in an instant. I was completely satisfied again this time! I will come back again!

The pancakes here are always delicious! They are made using meringue, so they are fluffy! The peaches this time were a bit firm, but the pancakes were consistently delicious, so I was very satisfied!! It can be difficult to make a reservation during peach season, so it's a bit of a battle. If you really want to eat here, it might be easier to make a reservation for one person!

I had to try the peach pancakes made with my favorite fruit, peaches! I managed to secure a reservation online from 8 PM the day before, and of course, I ordered the peach pancakes. They looked so appealing! The pancakes were filled with peaches, about one whole peach was used. The peaches were ripe and delicious, soft, sweet, and irresistible. The pancakes were even fluffier than last time, and so tasty! They were delicious on their own, but with plenty of whipped cream, I was completely satisfied. I thoroughly enjoyed the peaches and had a great time!

This popular restaurant has always been difficult to book and is located far away, so I had given up on visiting. However, at the request of a friend, I decided to go. I couldn't secure a reservation for the next day at 8:00 pm, so I decided to try for a same-day reservation slot. I arrived at the restaurant at 9:20 am on the day of the visit, only to find a long line already formed due to the scorching heat. The staff started accepting reservations at 9:30 am, and by then, they had already sold out for the day. I managed to secure a reservation for 3:40 pm and decided to kill time until then. The restaurant was a 10-minute walk from the station, so I spent 20 minutes on the round trip before returning. People who had made online reservations were given priority, so I had to wait for about an hour at the entrance. Finally, I was seated and ordered the "Return of Momotaro Pancake" for 2,290 yen, which was quite pricey. The pancake arrived, fluffy and made with meringue, which tends to deflate quickly. The cream, generously made with peaches, was not overly sweet, allowing the natural sweetness of the peaches to shine through. The peaches served on the side were not very sweet, but the half peach topped with sherbet was deliciously sweet. The sherbet was also tasty. However, I personally did not enjoy the slightly burnt taste of the pancake batter. The texture was light and had a satisfying bite to it. It was nice that it was not a one-drink requirement. Overall, it was quite a challenging experience to enjoy these pancakes, but it was worth it. They also sold scones at the entrance, which looked delicious. If any were left, they offered a discount in the evening.

I wanted to eat pancakes so I went to [Chaka]. You can enter even if there is a line on the day, but it is recommended to make a reservation the day before with a designated time! This time, I chose the most popular one after hesitating between melon. I also ordered pudding. The pudding had a strong taste of eggs and was rich, with a nostalgic flavor. The pancakes were fluffy and had a moderate sweetness. The texture of the banana also matched well with the pancakes and disappeared in the mouth. I would like to go there again when I feel like eating pancakes. Thank you for the meal.

First time visiting this restaurant. I had set an alarm to make a reservation the day before, but I accidentally forgot and it was already past 9 pm... There were only 2 time slots left for the next day, and I realized that I had to decide on the menu when making the reservation. While I was quickly checking with my friends, the reservation slots were all taken... So, I decided to try for a same-day reservation at the restaurant! I woke up early and arrived at the restaurant at 10:15. They asked me what time I wanted to come, and I was able to make a reservation in a casual manner! I arrived on time, waited a bit in the chairs inside, and then entered. I ordered caramel and matcha ice cream with kinako. I also ordered some to take home, and they kindly set it aside for me. The pancakes arrived in less than 20 minutes, and they were fluffy and delicious, with a hint of egg aroma. It had a generous amount of whipped cream, which made it a bit heavy for me. My friend and I shared it, and it was indeed quite filling. The staff were very friendly and I had a good impression of them. The blueberry scone was decent, but if I had to choose, I prefer the fluffy ones at bills. Making a reservation was difficult, both in advance and on the same day, and the pressure of canceling a reservation and the stress of being late made the experience quite challenging.

I was able to make a reservation and visited for the first time in about 2 years. I had the seasonal limited edition pancake that I was looking forward to. The melon was sweet and delicious. The pancake was fluffy and melts in your mouth without even chewing. The whipped cream was not too sweet and had a gentle flavor. The ice cream served alongside was also delicious. Even though it had been a while since I last visited, I was still impressed by how delicious everything was!! Moreover, the staff were very attentive and kind. I was completely satisfied with both the taste and service. I will definitely go back again♡

○Hoshi Akari 1860 yen Special pancake with whipped cream, caramel sauce, banana, and crumble-like topping. The whipped cream is rich and has a strong milky flavor with a gentle sweetness. The caramel sauce is delicious, not too sweet. The pancake is thick and fluffy with a crispy surface and a soft, melt-in-your-mouth interior. It has a good egg and buttermilk flavor. ○Wa Nagomi 1780 yen Black honey, kinako (soybean flour), matcha ice cream, azuki beans, walnuts. This pancake is more jelly-like and melts in your mouth. The egg flavor is subtle, maybe because there is more egg white. The black honey and azuki beans are not too sweet and tasty. ○Pudding 550 yen Rich and smooth pudding with a strong egg yolk flavor. The caramel sauce is not too bitter and delicious. ○Café Latte Set price 490 yen Specialty coffee from Horikoshi Coffee. The coffee has a strong bitterness and a slight aftertaste. The milk flavor is good. Both the pancake and pudding were delicious!

I had a melon pancake with plenty of melon topping and a hot Darjeeling tea. The combination of juicy melon and homemade melon gelato with cheese was luxurious and delicious. The hot tea had a slight astringency, but it paired well with the sweet pancake. Thank you for the meal.

A must-visit pancake shop that requires reservations! The shop has a small and cute atmosphere with limited seating. The blue exterior is adorable and gets you excited. The pancakes are fluffy thanks to the use of meringue! It's best to eat them fresh as they deflate over time. The whipped cream is not too heavy and was easy to finish. However, the limited-time melon pancake was a bit disappointing as it felt more like pancake + melon rather than a true melon pancake fusion. Despite that, the pancakes themselves were delicious and satisfying. I would like to try the regular menu pancakes next time!

This is my second visit! Today's pancake is like the sun☀️. When you pour vanilla ice cream and maple syrup over the fluffy pancake, it soaks in and tastes delicious. From next month, I need to bring cash when I go. Thank you for the meal!

This month, I decided to go with the regular pancakes instead of the special ones. Why? Because I really wanted to try the melon that I had been resisting every year! I'm not actually a fan of melon, so having it with pancakes would be a bit too much. But let me tell you, indulging in that melon was worth it. It was undeniably delicious. Melons are just so good, even for someone like me who isn't a fan. I think melon tastes better when you drink it rather than eat it. And my favorite pancakes, which I rarely get to eat because I'm always drawn to seasonal items. The pancake batter is without a doubt delicious. And then the waitress poured some gooey cheese on top at the table. It's so good with the pancakes. The combination of sweet and salty flavors is a favorite for many people. You could even have it for dinner. I debated whether to eat it with honey, pepper, or just the cheese, but in the end, I ended up enjoying it with just the cheese. The menu was well thought out and I appreciate that!

I have visited this place several times, but this is my first time posting here. What I always want to go for this season is... yes, because melons are in season. The artistic pancakes by Chaka-san and the collaboration with fresh fruits. I can't resist. Reservations start from 8 pm the day before. If you are late or not focused, you won't be able to get a reservation on weekends, so be prepared. It's a bit of a hassle, but it's nice to be able to enter without waiting in line. Today's order was Melon Pancake and Melon Drink. The rule of thumb when eating sweet things is to have coffee or tea, but I couldn't resist the "Melon Drink" that was available last year... so I had to try it this year. It's very melon-like. Smooth and easy to drink. It's the season for delicious cold drinks. Soon after, the pancakes arrived. Every time I wonder where to start because the toppings are so good. But first, I took a bite of the pancake. It's important to eat it fresh! Then the sorbet. This sorbet is also melon-flavored. The texture of the melon flesh and the crunchy ice are enjoyable, with a refreshing sweetness. Cooling my mouth with something cold, I then had a slice of fresh melon. It's not extremely sweet, but the juicy freshness seeps into your body. And then the pancakes. The fluffy dough has a hint of saltiness, which goes perfectly with the rich cream. You can even taste the slight crispiness of the grilled surface. Despite being a three-layered pancake, it was so light that I finished it quickly. While changing the taste with the saltiness of the grilled cheese on top of the sorbet, I enjoyed every bite until the last one. Refreshing my mouth with water, I finished with cherries and fresh melon. It's nice to end with fruits. When you finish eating, you'll see Chaka-san's moon mark in the center of the plate, which always makes me happy. It's always crowded, but there are several staff members on the floor, so you won't encounter the typical problems of popular restaurants like "I've decided on my order, but there are no staff members around"... "I want water, but it's hard to ask for it"... "I want to pay, but there's no one at the register"... You can see why it's so popular.

I heard that it was difficult to make a reservation, but I finally managed to visit ⭐︎ It was my first time visiting, and I had the seasonal menu ♬ The melon was very sweet and delicious! The ice cream had large pieces of melon flesh in it, which made me happy (o^^o) I was expecting a heavy sweetness like buttercream, but surprisingly, it had a refreshing taste, which was perfect for the gradually warming weather!! It was delicious! Thank you for the meal.
