A bakery donk born in Kobe. It is a long-established store that celebrates 108 years since its establishment in summer. There is a "hot cake" of this donk that can only be eaten at the Kobe main store. It seems that the unique taste of bakery and the method of carefully baking it on a copper plate after receiving an order are popular.
The head office is located in Sannomiya Center Gai, Chuo-ku, Kobe. It is opposite the brick fashion building "MEDITERASSE". The 1st floor is a bakery, the 2nd and 3rd floors are cafes, and the red-walled stairs on the left are the entrance to the cafe.
The ordered "hot cake" is a menu limited to the Kobe main store, which is carefully baked on a copper plate. We are particular about the ingredients, such as using eggs from Oku Tamba from Tamba, Hyogo Prefecture. I am excited by the sentence "It will take about 20 minutes" written on the display and menu at the storefront. It's a proof of hand-baking.

About 15 minutes after ordering, the pancakes were delivered with the set coffee. It seems that it was baked smoothly because the timing of entering the store was just the end of the customer's day.

The size of the pancake is about 13 cm in diameter and 1.5 cm thick. It has a round shape and a simple appearance with butter, which makes me feel nostalgic. The surface is so crispy that it doesn't soak in immediately even if you put the syrup on the table, and when you insert a knife, you can hear a "crispy" sound.

The taste is "gentle sweetness" in one word. It's chewy but melts in your mouth, and you can feel the natural sweetness of wheat and eggs. It is a hot cake that does not spoil the flavor of wheat unique to bakery, as it is particular about making bread that "maximizes the flavor of wheat flour". The saltiness of butter goes well with the dough.

I've sprinkled syrup this time, but it's also recommended to put only butter on it or enjoy it with coffee or tea without adding anything. It is crispy even when cooled, and the flavor does not deteriorate. It goes well with coffee, which is blended to match the bakery, and looks good for breakfast.

Besides hotcakes, a wide variety of sandwiches are also popular. There is also a rich lineup of pancakes topped with fresh cream and lunch menus such as gratin. Of course, you can also buy bread at the bakery on the first floor.
It seems to be crowded at lunchtime and cafe time on holidays, but it seems that you can enter the store relatively smoothly at other times. I'm glad that the smoke is separated on the 2nd and 3rd floors. It's bright but calm, and it's easy for men to enter. There are only long-established stores, and there are also elderly people.

Donk knew only bread! For those who have passed by in front of the main store, why don't you try the "hot cake unique to bakery"?
