Cafe Asan
This café is located near Suehirocho Station. It is a restaurant where you can relax on a hammock and eat pancakes that are a little different from the rest. You may be surprised by how they look. Their pancakes look like a Danish pastry on the outside but they are fluffy soufflé pancakes on the inside!
Since they are the soufflé type, the pancakes are very delicate and start losing their shape as soon as they are baked. However, the pancakes are very smooth and have a light texture, you’ll feel like you’re biting into a cloud.
