My friend found this place on Google; it's a gluten-free rice pancake shop, quite special. The shop has a few simple indoor seating options, and the owner operates it alone. The Google landmark also mentions "bunny-friendly," which is pretty cute, haha.

▪️Signature Chocolate + Peanut $65
▪️Matcha Whipped Cream $75

The pancake comes in three types: Signature, Chocolate, and Matcha. I chose the Signature and Matcha. I took it to go, and when I got home, the pancake didn't have a crispness; it was dense. The chocolate peanut butter is toasted in the oven after spreading, and the flavor is quite common, feeling very indulgent but not overly sweet or rich.

What surprised me was the Matcha pancake. It has very little sweetness and a strong tea flavor, giving a slight astringent sensation in the mouth. It pairs quite well with the whipped cream, which is packaged separately. I originally thought the whipped cream would melt quickly if packed with the warm pancakes, but I found that the whipped cream seemed to be frozen, so it was just right next to the pancakes. That detail was very thoughtful.

Overall, while I seem to prefer the original pancake's softer, chewy texture, this one provides a strong sense of fullness. The pancake has a subtle rice aroma, making it quite unique.
