This extremely popular shop is located next to Yoyogi Park, about a five-minute walk from the station. There is usually a long line even before it opens. Customers draw numbers from a computer, so you can wander around the nearby area until it's your turn. You’ll receive a real-time notification on your phone when it's time to head to the shop, which is a convenience amidst the inconvenience. Generally, you should expect to wait about an hour because the popular dishes are made to order, and once seated, you need to wait at least another 30 minutes.

Almost 80% of customers order the popular freshly made ham pancake. The minimum requirement is to order a drink, so it's recommended for two people to share a plate, which is just right. Being at the bar in front of the kitchen really makes it feel special. The combination of fresh ham, butter, honey, and crispy yet soft pancakes truly feels more like an intricate dish than just dessert. The flavors are salty and sweet, crispy and soft, distinct yet harmonious, which makes it easy to understand the long wait. Eating this alone would definitely be too much, haha!
