Like the matcha kakigori, this matcha hotcake (¥800) also uses Morihan's matcha and is served with red bean, fresh cream that melts within seconds and condensed sweet matcha syrup.

Unlike those hotcakes from Hoshino Coffee or any of the pancakes, this hotcake is NOT fluffy at all. Notice the neatly segregated lines? The pancakes had dense structures with long columns of air sacs that are lined closely to one another. Somewhat sticky and sweet like thePeranakan Kueh Bengat.

If you like cheese, the Yotsuba Cream Cheese hotcake(¥800) has a nice tang because sour cream is incorporated into the dough. Served with condensed milk ice cream. The Caramelized Banana version (¥800) is a condensed milk hotcake drizzled with semi-bitter caramel sauce.
I think what makes their hotcakes different from their competitors is the ingredients. They are proud of using the premium eggs from Mie Prefecture and low-pasteurized milk from Shizuoka Prefecture. And once you are seated, you will be served a glass of natural mineral water from Kagoshima.
The pancake trend is still running hot in Tokyo and it's a huge panacake war over at Harajuku. Instead of going for Hawaiian or American style pancakes, why don't you consider some Japanese style pancakes that is found at a quiet corner of Ginza?
