The pancake boom continues. I have introduced many famous restaurants such as " Moena Cafe" and " Space Cafe ", but I found another restaurant where you can enjoy delicious pancakes. It is a cafe restaurant " Eggcellent " in Roppongi, Tokyo.


Egg Celent pancakes are light enough to be eaten as many as you like, and have a pleasant taste. You can enjoy it with the store's original toppings such as peanut cream, coconut sauce, and ricotta cheese.

Pancakes that have a relaxing taste and make you want to eat again because they do not have the luxury of "a lot of cream" and "a lot of fruit". How is that deliciousness created? We interviewed the owner, Tsukasa Jingu.

■ The image is "pancakes that you eat like bread every morning"

Tsukasa Jingu's previous job was a flight attendant. It seems that breakfast such as Eggs Benedict, which is eaten before work, was the source of energy in the hard daily life of flying around the world. "Egg Celent," which specializes in the standard breakfast "egg dish," started with the desire to "spread a vibrant breakfast culture in Japan."


It seems that the pancakes at the store were also born from the experience of Mr. Jingu. For her who is familiar with Hawaii and other foreign food cultures, pancakes are not "sweets for women" but "businessmen are eating while reading newspapers". I want you to feel free to eat it like bread every morning, not as a sweet snack. Tsukasa Jingu, who wished so, developed an original mixed powder after trial and error. It has a fluffy texture and moderate saltiness like overseas pancakes, and it seems that it has realized a taste that you will not get tired of.



The store is also proud of the sauces and toppings that color the pancakes. The flavorful peanut cream and coconut sauce are handmade every day at the store using fresh ingredients. Also, there are many customers who freely choose toppings such as fruits, cheese, and bacon. Simple and homely, but with a full-fledged taste that comes with every bite. The secret of deliciousness that makes you want to eat it over and over again may be hidden in the commitment to the goodness of the material rather than the luxurious appearance.


■ A wide range of menus from breakfast to dinner

In addition to pancakes, Egg Celent is also known for its exquisite egg dishes made with organic eggs. Above all, the signboard menu "Eggs Benedict" is a "must-eat". The rich taste of the poached egg that flows out may surprise you, "Is the egg so delicious !?" In addition, there are plenty of drinks such as organic coffee and smoothies, so it seems that many customers get lost while looking at the menu table.


Egg Celent makes you realize that food is a source of energy through cooking that makes the best use of the ingredients. Business hours are from 7 am (8 am on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays) to 9 pm, so it is recommended for a luxurious breakfast, an elegant tea time, or a reward dinner for a hard day. The staff with a lovely smile will welcome you in a bright and open space.
