Waffle specialty store "Mama's Waffle " opened in Kichijoji, Tokyo in September 2015. Based on the concept of "waffles that your mother will bake," waffles that use homemade butter to bake the surface crispy are on sale.


Lately, I also went to Mama's Waffle!

In addition to the basic "sugar butter", the flavors on the shelves include "salt butter caramel," "chocolate," and "maple," which are rare for waffle flavors, and refreshing citrus. A total of 7 types of "orange" and "lemon" are available.


This time, the most popular "sugar butter" (160 yen / tax not included, same below), the popular flavor "salt butter caramel" (190 yen), and the citrus "lemon" (180 yen). I bought four "figs" (240 yen) that I had decided to buy from the first impression. I will go back to the office and eat.

First of all, sugar butter. The most standard and most popular flavor.


At the moment of biting, the feeling of hitting the teeth is crisp, but as it is, the teeth gently sink into the fabric, and when you try to tear it off, you can feel a lot of stickiness. The texture is not "crispy" but "crispy" (there is no small "tsu") because it is not crispy but immediately moisturized. Will it be transmitted ...!

By the way, at the beginning of the opening, it seems that two types of waffle dough, "sticky texture" and "fluffy texture", were prepared, but according to the official Facebook, all waffles are now changed to "sticky texture". It was said that it was done.


The dough itself is sweet. You can fully enjoy the aroma of wheat and the rich flavor of butter. This simple and simple taste is truly luxurious. Sometimes sugar is lumpy, so the sweetness that spreads with a crunchy texture is an accent.

Then salt butter caramel. Salt, butter, and caramel are materials that can't be quarreled with waffles.


The moment you put it in your mouth, the fragrant caramel is fluffy. It doesn't feel so salty, but it's not too salty, and its crisp sweetness wraps around your tongue. As you chew on the chewy texture, the umami of butter gradually spreads, giving it a very rich taste. Well, I knew it before I ate it, but it was delicious.


By the way, the melting sweetness continued, so next is a refreshing lemon. The surface is coated with a jam-like sauce that also contains something that looks like lemon peel.


When you bring it close to your mouth, you will notice the sour scent of citrus fruits. When you bite into it, the sourness and fresh sweetness of the lemon fruit pops in your mouth, followed by the bittersweetness of the lemon peel. Since the dough has less sweetness in the first place, it can be combined with lemon to create a flavor for adults. It seems to go well with black tea.


At the end, I personally enjoyed eating the most, Fig. Largely cut fig pulp is laid on the dough.


Of the four flavors I ate this time, I could feel the taste of the waffle dough itself. And not only sweet, but the taste of figs, which is as mellow as wine, matches the simpler dough than I had imagined! In the chewy dough, the sticky and rich texture of figs and the texture of bubble wrap seeds are also alive.


Mama's Waffle is a To go specialty store. It's a small stand-style shop, but on the day of the interview, female customers who seemed to be moms and boys who seemed to be students visited one after another and bought waffles. While the dough has a simple taste that makes the best use of the ingredients, it may be a popular secret that it has a unique and wide range of flavors that children, adults, men and women can enjoy.

It's a perfect souvenir for your family and friends, and on a clear day, you'll be happy to eat around Inokashira Park. When you leave Kichijoji Station and head toward Parco, you will smell the freshly baked waffles, so why not try it?
