Wednesday in the middle of the week. Today is a holiday, but if you're at work, it's about time you get tired.

Let's all eat waffles on Wednesday in the middle of the week and get on with the week! A menu related to the American custom is now available at the popular restaurant "Sarabeth" from NY. It is a "banana cream waffle " (1,450 yen) with the image of a "banana cream pie".

Sarabeth's "Special Waffle" has been offered only on Wednesdays since last year (2014) under the name of "Waffle Wednesday". This time, as the 4th menu, it will be offered at each store only every Wednesday from today (April 29th) to June 10th (excluding the Osaka store).

The writer, who is a little bit tired from the heat of every day, wants to survive this week, so I went to the Daikanyama store to eat banana cream waffles!

Banana cream waffle is a waffle dough with plenty of bananas and custard cream sandwiched between them. Topped with thick-sliced banana and almond-filled pie, served with whipped cream with chocolate chips.

First, take a bite of a waffle that has been baked in a moderately golden brown color. The moment you insert your teeth, the texture is crispy and light, followed by a fluffy fragrance. The inside is moist and smooth enough to melt with just a few chews, and the gentle sweetness of banana spreads throughout your mouth.

The custard cream sandwiched between the two waffles also has plenty of banana pulp. From dough to cream, you can enjoy bananas anywhere. The bananas that I always eat casually can be transformed into such a fashionable one ...!

You can enjoy further changes in taste by adding the attached whipped cream. The whipped cream is cool and moist, the sweetness is modest, and the crispy chocolate chips are accented. It's delicious not only with waffles, but also with banana toppings and crispy pies, so give it a try!

By the time I finished eating, I remembered that I could only meet once a week no matter how much I wanted to meet (even though it was so delicious), and my feelings for waffles became more and more in a sad state ... Juliet in love with Romeo I'm sure he felt like this.

By the way, the "chocolate drink" (520 yen) ice cream is recommended for drinks that you want to drink together. Keane and chilled chocolate have a strong bitterness, and even when combined with waffles, it does not make a sweet x sweet combination. Rather, cacao tightens the mellow sweetness of bananas, and if you drink this after spreading the waffles, you will have a delicious synergistic effect that a different taste of "sweets" will be completed in your mouth!

A banana cream waffle that can only be eaten 7 times in total, even if you go every Wednesday from today. To be honest, I would like it to be a year-round menu, but because it is for a limited time, each bite may feel even more lovable and delicious.

There are 3 stores in Tokyo: Lumine Shinjuku store, Daikanyama store, and Shinagawa store. Again, you can only eat it on Wednesdays until June 10th . Don't miss it!
