Takakuracho Coffee's "Special Cream Ricotta Pancake"
fluffy

Takakuracho Coffee's "Special Cream Ricotta Pancake" has a texture that makes it feel as if the pancakes melt in your mouth as well as the cream on them. It may be too pretentious to say that it looks like a cloud in the sky, but it really feels like that.

Takakuramachi Coffee is a coffee chain that operates in the Kanto and Hokuriku regions. The taste of pancakes as well as coffee is delicious.

At the shop, Ichioshi's special cream ricotta pancake is 1,200 yen (tax included). Ricotta cheese and egg yolk, which are low in fat, are kneaded into the dough, and egg whites are mixed just before baking, and they are baked one by one.

I actually ordered it. When you bring it to the table, you will be overwhelmed by the cream that covers the entire surface of the cake. The pancakes, which you can see slightly from the bottom, seem to be layered.

When you separate it with a knife and fork, it's much lighter than it looks, the cream is not sticky and fluffy, and the pancake melts in your mouth just by pressing it with your tongue, and it melts and disappears. It's an impression that it will end up.

Really fluffy pancakes

The cream and pancakes are combined to create a "fluffy" comfort that fills your taste buds.

Both are very soft, and at first the boundary between cream and pancakes is not clear, but if you check slowly, you will find that pancakes are still a little heavier and slightly sticky. Pancakes also have a strong egg flavor, and as soon as they reach under the cream layer, the scent tickles the nasal passages.

The cream is really light, but the amount is really smooth. By the way, when eating pancakes, reporters are usually poor at how much cream to put on each cut piece, but this time I put as much as I wanted without worrying about it at all. Rather, you should worry about the pancakes ending before the cream.

By the way, it was a challenge without lunch, but by the time I finished eating one plate, I was completely full.
