Shinjuku-Exclusive: Interactive Instagram-Worthy Pancake Arrives

The new Shinjuku-exclusive dish features Tochiaka, a rare premium strawberry brand from Tochigi Prefecture.

Tochiaka's Fluffy Mascarpone

The signature fluffy pancakes, which melt in your mouth, are topped with rich mascarpone cream. This is an interactive pancake experience where guests decorate the dish with strawberry sauce themselves.

After decorating, guests slowly pull up the surrounding film, causing the cream and strawberry sauce to flow out and instantly create a stunning visual art piece. This multi-sensory decorating experience is perfect for social media sharing.

Strawberry Fair Also Available at Other Locations

The Strawberry Fair, launching on January 15 at locations other than Shinjuku, offers a lineup packed with seasonal flavors, including an adaptation of the signature menu item "Strawberry Milk Baby" and mascarpone pancakes also available at the Shinjuku store.

Strawberry Milk Baby

The signature "Dutch Baby," slowly baked in the oven, is topped with fresh seasonal strawberries. The rich "Strawberry Milk Sauce" poured over the dish creates a perfect harmony between the toasted aroma of the batter and the sweet-tart strawberries.

Fluffy Strawberry Mascarpone

This luxurious pancake features fluffy pancakes with rich strawberry mascarpone cream and smooth white chocolate sauce that further enhances the strawberry's tartness.
