DISQUS

Zuzu · 1 year ago

I love those crepes because they are made really fast! I got my first in harajuku
I like strawberrys, cream, and vanilla ice cream
I wonder if they sell them in little tokyo in LA...

Ah, I wish there were crepe stands where I live.. or just a place that serves them and it's not for breakfast >.< They look so delicious :3 And they make it look so effortless when they make it :3

emiko · 1 year ago

yay! I can see it now! Uh, but now I want a crepe! Crepes are soooo good. Sadly, they are hard to find where I live. When I stayed over at my friends we would make crepes every morning for everyone in her house before we had to go to school. I was in charge of batter and washing the dishes, since I can't flip a crepe for the life of me!

Yay crepes!

Also, I like how they make the crepes like a cone, since whenever I buy a crepe it is impossible to pick up :(

This reminds me of the sausage-on-a-stick they served for breakfast at my high school. It was like a corn dog but, instead of a hot dog, there was a sausage link and the batter was pancake mix. Plus, they gave you syrup to dip it in. And when you ate it, it was like heaven. This effect was probably due to the temporary clogging of arteries which slowed down oxygen circulation causing a feeling of euphoria. One sausage-on-a-stick is worth about negative three months of life expectancy. Someone else will have to figure out the exchange rate for Japanese crepes.

I seriously need one of those, but there's only French crêpes in my city. :(

hahaha, nice doeo avatar. That game is amazing.

It's probably not on par with a Japanese crepes restaurant, but there's one in New York called 'Crepes and Tearia' which sells crepes and bubble tea (my favorite). There's no crazy fillings there though.

Muscling in on my food post territory, eh Viet? Hehe, just kidding. We have to visit a lot more crepe shops the next time we go to Japan. I think we only went to the one last time.

I want a crepe.
I actually want some milk salt ice cream, that's what I really want.

Is Japanese mayonnaise different from American? I like mayonnaise, as long as there's not gobs and gobs of the stuff.

HansH · 1 year ago

Gahh. I'm craving one right now.
The crepe shop down the street is closed on Sundays. :(

Ank · 1 year ago

Wauw, those crepes always look amazing XD
I'm used to a smaller kind of those crepes, so I'm always wondering how you'd eat one that size (even if it is shaped like a cone) without spilling your toppings all over the place..
Guess I'll have to give that a try when I visit Japan =D

koichi · 1 year ago

Won't be hard to find unless the fad has died off in the last year. They're freakin everywhere, crowded, and tasty!

The chick in white is super fine.

Renaming Seattle-Chinatown " International District " FTL .

If they did that here in San Francisco there would be a riot.

Viet · 1 year ago

Haha yea, I agree. Personally I just call it Chinatown.

i like really want a crep now, and lucky me they dont sell any nowhere near where i live .Y_Y

Mai · 1 year ago

:O. The only crepe I've ever had is at a chain Japanese all-you-can-eat-buffet, AKA TODAI. They use preservative fruit fillings :(. And it was definitely not cone shape. Although those cones look kinda difficult to eat. Are we supposed to eat it like an ice cream? & wouldn't the warm crepe skin melt the ice cream & whipped cream?

Mer.

emiko · 1 year ago

i only like the todai in san diego . .. but i don't think it is really all japanese . . . i think it is a lot of different asian foods mixed together . . . if you like you can try to find a crepe recipe of your own an make one . . . they are pretty easy to make

or you can go to the grocery store and buy crepe wrappers (which are usually somewhere near the produce section)

Viet · 1 year ago

There is also a Todai here in Seattle. Food quality is ok. I tend to stay away from the desserts since I'm more interested in the sushi. Unagi <3

Mai · 1 year ago

I STAY AWAY FROM SUSHI FOREVER! I'm sick and tired of getting food poisoning. (No one else who ate with me EVER gets it ;__;).

The dessert is my favorite part since everything is not so yummy.

emiko · 1 year ago

WHAT YOU CAN'T EAT SUSHI! *goes into shock*

i'm sorry :(

Mai · 1 year ago

I can eat sushi. That is if I don't mind having food poisoning of vomiting & other abnormal bodily functions for the next few days :P.

emiko · 1 year ago

that's too bad, you can't even have the sush that is all vegetables . . . although that isn't really sushi is it . . . no i think it is . . .i'm confused

Zaywex · 1 year ago

Ah, I feel lucky, I live in Seattle~!

JackTamaki · 1 year ago

The crepe stands are still everywhere in Japan. I saw them all over in Fukuoka, Kyoto, and Tokyo.

Chimiko · 1 year ago

Wow, that looks so good!! I want one too ..

Digger · 1 year ago

A friend from Ibaraki told me the same thing about mayo...apparently there's even a term for people who love mayonaisse.

Izeyhec · 1 year ago

ok tho's look so good i want one right now luckly i live in seattle i can go get one ne time lol

Ana_chan · 1 year ago

Thanks for the article!
These crêpes sure look different from the ones I'm used to. They're huuuuge! As everybody said, they make it look so easy to make...T__T
I'm sure I'd make a mess if I tried eating one. So much for the supposedly French impeccable manners. Besides, they're just too pretty to be eaten... :3

Rosalin · 1 year ago

I believe it should be "maître des crêpes," as opposed to "maître de crêpes."

Viet · 1 year ago

Someone finally took notice :) I suppose it has to due with the fact this is a Japanese-oriented blog.

You're making me hungry. I think I need to teach my girlfriend how to make a Japanese crepe.

Yummy Crepe menu... I just wanna know a little more about one of the item of this crepe menu n that's everyone's favorite ICE CREAM... Do we have just one vanilla flavor ice cream along with strawberries and topped with chocolate sauce..?? Can't we make it another combination with our own choice..??

BarbJ · 8 months ago

The crepes in France are big like that too. At least at the crepe shop I ate at in Paris. Same kind of pan too.
I ordered mine with butter and honey. It was heavenly!
But they folded it up into a kind of envelope shape, not a cone. Those shops look like fun!

I always like to it specially crepes.. But it is hard to eat crepes especially with lots of toppings
