A happy bite of fluffy and thick pancakes in Tokyo

With a name like ‘Happy Pancake,’ how delicious could it be to be this famous?

🏠 Store Atmosphere & Waiting Time
The place I visited is Shiawase Pancake Shibuya branch!
There are several locations nationwide in Japan, including Osaka and Kyoto, not just Tokyo.
✔ Waiting time: I went around 2 PM on a weekend and waited about 30 minutes.
✔ Store atmosphere: Clean and bright interior. The seating is a bit tight, so it might be hard to stay for a long time.

📌 Tip: Since the wait can be long, I recommend making a reservation in advance or visiting on weekday mornings!

🍰 Menu Introduction
1️⃣ Basic Menu – Shiawase Pancake (¥1,380)
✔ Three fluffy pancakes stacked beautifully, topped with manuka honey butter and caramel sauce.
✔ Softness that melts in your mouth instantly!
✔ The egg base flavor is stronger than regular pancakes, so it might be a love-it-or-hate-it taste.

2️⃣ Choco Banana Pancake (¥1,420)
✔ The fluffy texture of the pancake + rich chocolate sauce = a fantastic combination!
✔ Bananas naturally add sweetness, perfectly balancing with the chocolate.
✔ The chocolate sauce isn’t overly sweet and has a slightly bitter note, so the sweetness isn’t overwhelming.

3️⃣ Cheese Mousse Raspberry Sauce Pancake (¥1,480)
✔ The cheese mousse is incredibly soft and melts the moment you take a bite.
✔ The raspberry sauce is sweet and tangy, harmonizing with the pancake’s softness.
✔ Overall less sweet than the basic pancake, with a refreshing taste.

4️⃣ Limited Menu – Strawberry Parfait
✔ Loaded with fresh strawberries!
✔ The sourness of the strawberries and sweet mascarpone cream on cornflakes make it a lighter treat.
✔ Perfect for those who find overly sweet desserts too much!
