• A trip to Happy Pancake

    April 24, 2025 in Japan ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C

    Yes, it's true. We went to a pancake place, but one like none other. Our friend, Yasuko, took us to this one in 2019, and we've been planning to go back ever since. The real name is Shiawase no Pankeiki, which translates to Happy Pancake. We think it's the people who go there who are happy, but the pancakes might be happy, too. 😃

    It hasn't changed much since 2019, and the menu is the same. It's still very popular and busy, but we were lucky to arrive during a lull between lineups, so we got right in. That was a change. We ordered by QR code this time instead of talking to a server.

    It was as good as we remembered, but it's also the kind of place you shouldn't go to very often. 😆 Once every 6 years or so is very doable!
