FLIPPER’S Shimokitazawa Shop is a restaurant that opened in July 2016 that is dedicated to soufflé pancakes. Here, the pancakes use rich batter made with two times the usual amount of eggs, and are carefully cooked at low temperature only upon order. The Kiseki no Pancake Plain (1,080 JPY) is an exquisite pancake made with batter containing eggs from Shiroishizao in Miyagi and domestically grown wheat, and then paired with this shop’s original rich maple butter cream.
