I caught the information that the super popular cafe "Flying Scotsman" called "No. 1 word of mouth" in Ehime and Matsuyama opened in Akihabara, Tokyo on May 27 (pre-opened on May 25). It is said to be the third store following the Okaido store and Kiyacho store in Matsuyama city. The signboard menu here is the thickly baked " handmade pancakes "!

While "pancakes" have been making noise for several years, the sound of "hot cakes" is rather fresh. At the same time, I felt nostalgic when I remembered the snack my mother made when I was a kid. … Okay, let's go to the Akihabara store! It must be a nice shop ...

That's why I came to the Flying Scotsman Akihabara store. It is about a 5-minute walk from the central ticket gate of JR Akihabara Station. It's a little hard to find, but it's on the 7th floor of the building where Okamuraya is on the 1st floor. Take the elevator.

When I passed through the door at 10 am, the master and the clerk welcomed me with a smile in the store where the warm colors created a nostalgic atmosphere. It seems that the author was the best glue, and he said, "Please go to your favorite seat."

In addition to 3 tables and counters, there are terrace seats for the audience. I also have a lot of trouble, so I went to the terrace. It's a season when the outside wind is comfortable!

Today's purpose is of course hot cakes. This time, I ordered a chocolate and nut pancake from three types: plain (600 yen), chocolate & nuts (800 yen), and berries & berries (850 yen).

And for the coffee to be combined, the store's original "FS Blend" (600 yen), which the master says "recommended for first-time customers".

It takes about 15 minutes to bake pancakes, and the master prepares coffee first.

Coffee brewed in a "siphon style" in front of the counter. The beans will be ground after receiving the order. The scent of freshly ground coffee beans in a quiet space in the morning. it's the best.

By the way, all cooking appliances in the store are IH. He says he doesn't use gas to prevent smoke from affecting the taste and aroma of coffee. Therefore, the siphon is not gas but electric.

The master said, "Our coffee is a little strong," so it's the perfect taste for me, who likes bitter coffee. When you put it in your mouth, the deep roasted flavor and richness will spread.

There are two types of sugar on each table. The first is "color sugar," which is usually mixed with coffee and drunk. The other is "Coffee Sugar", which you can add and do not mix immediately, but dissolve slowly and enjoy the sweetness at the end. as you like.

By the way, today's main hot cake has finally arrived! The dough, which is about 3 cm thick, is layered in two layers, topped with vanilla ice cream, nuts such as almonds and walnuts, and plenty of chocolate sauce.

What a luxurious topping!
What a luxurious topping!

The pancakes baked in a dark brown surface are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside like an aristocratic bed!

The moment you cut it and bring it to your mouth, the caramelized fragrance will gently come out of your nose along with the fluffy texture. It's fluffy, but it's not lumpy, and even if you fill your mouth with it, it will crumble as soon as you chew it. The scent of butter, the richness of the egg, and the gentle sweetness are left on the tongue and disappear.

The sweet and bittersweet chocolate sauce and the cold vanilla ice cream complement this. The ice cream entwines and melts in your mouth, celebrating each other with the freshly baked pancakes.

Almonds and walnuts are crispy on the outside but crispy and elegant on the inside. While adding an accent to the texture, it also improves the texture and satisfaction.

You won't get tired of eating it all the time!

However, the dough itself is very delicious without toppings (“plain” seems to be popular even in word of mouth), so it is recommended to eat with plenty of ice cream and chocolate sauce in the upper row and just taste the pancakes in the lower row. It's not flashy, but it's simple and delicious, and it's a taste you'll want to eat again!

A sip of coffee between hot cakes. The bitterness extracted in the dark eyes comes into play here. The sweetness that remains in your mouth is the finest mariage that the bitterness of coffee flows into the back of your throat.

It's hard to eat the last bite ...

I was very happy with the delicious pancakes and coffee ... but another thing I would like to mention is that there is a very friendly and wonderful master. Not only does he show me where to brew coffee and answer various questions from the author sincerely, but he also says, "There is an outlet under the table, so feel free to charge it. As much as you like. Please relax. "The warmth of the heart-warming words. … Is it okay, Master, can I just relax…!

Flying Scotsman Akihabara is a cafe where you can relax for the first time or by yourself. I want to relax as much as I like in my favorite place. At that time, it was a shop that made me want to stop by.

The business hours are until about 10 o'clock in the evening. In the future, it seems that the lineup will include alcohol menus and snacks that go well with alcohol.
