Harajuku Crêpes: The Sweet Sensation Taking Over Tokyo

Antoine Elie @

Harajuku Crêpes are a sweet sensation that has taken over Tokyo with their eye-catching designs and delectable flavors. These Japanese cone-shaped crêpes are a must-try treat for anyone visiting Tokyo. If you are looking for a sweet treat that is sure to satisfy your craving, look no further than Harajuku Crêpes.

What are Harajuku Crêpes?

Harajuku Crêpes are thin, crispy crêpes that are rolled into a cone shape and filled with a variety of sweet fillings and toppings. They are named after the Harajuku neighborhood in Tokyo, where they first gained popularity in the 1970s.

The batter for Harajuku Crêpes is typically made with wheat flour, eggs, milk, sugar, and a pinch of salt. While the batter is not gluten-free, some shops offer gluten-free options. The batter is poured onto a hot griddle and cooked until it is thin and crispy.

Fillings and Toppings

When it comes to fillings and toppings, the possibilities are endless. Some popular fillings include fresh fruit, whipped cream, chocolate, ice cream, and custard. The crêpes are then topped with a variety of toppings, such as sprinkles, nuts, and sauces. The final result is a colorful and delicious treat that is almost too pretty to eat.

Harajuku Crêpe Shops

One of the popular Harajuku Crêpe shops in Tokyo is Angel's Heart. They offer a wide variety of crêpes, including savory options such as tuna salad and avocado. Their sweet crêpes are also a hit, with flavors such as strawberry and banana, green tea and red bean, and chocolate and banana.

Another popular shop is Marion Crêpes, which has been serving up Harajuku Crêpes since 1976. They offer a wide variety of crêpes, including seasonal flavors such as chestnut and sweet potato. They also have a popular fruit salad crêpe that is filled with fresh fruit and topped with whipped cream and caramel sauce.

    Crêpes Suzette is a classic French dessert that has been enjoyed for over a century. It is said to have originated in the late 19th century, when a young waiter accidentally set fire to a dish of crêpes he was preparing for the Prince of Wales' entourage. The quick-thinking chef who came to his rescue managed to turn the mistake into a delicious dessert by adding sugar, butter, orange juice, and Grand Marnier to the pan, creating a caramelized sauce that he poured over the crêpes. The dish was named after the young prince's companion, Suzette, and became an instant hit among French aristocrats and high society. Today, Crêpes Suzette is still considered a luxurious and elegant dessert, often served in fine dining restaurants and special occasions around the world.
