AI Spot Summary
The meal base is quite good, with a crispy exterior and a soft interior. I especially recommend the original flavor pancakes, which have a subtle cinnamon taste, not too much chocolate, and the black tea flavor leans towards Earl Grey, very fragrant. Even if you don't heat it up, it still tastes great the next day. The sweetness is moderate, the flavors are diverse, and the quality is stable.
The store's display window is attractive, instilling confidence in the quality of the waffles. The shop is popular and often has a line.
The service is attentive and includes heating methods. Although staying in a hotel makes it impossible to heat, they still provide thoughtful suggestions.
Reviews
Reviewer comments: Takeout, no restrooms used.
I originally planned to go to the underground mall for some Gora ramen, but I happened to see a waffle shop that looked quite attractive from the outside, so I decided to give it a try. However, when I wanted to buy it that day, it was closed, so I came back the next day. The display in the store gave me confidence in the quality of the waffles, and sure enough, after tasting them, I found the exterior crispy and the interior soft, with just the right amount of sweetness—not too cloying. Eating them the next morning was still quite good in flavor and texture. The waffles here offer various flavors, and the plain one performed steadily, allowing me to taste the aroma and texture of the waffle. After checking out, I noticed a line had already started forming, which seemed to indicate that this shop is quite popular. Later, after Googling, I found out that there are quite a few branches, and the reviews were pretty good! They also included heating instructions, but unfortunately, being in a hotel, I couldn’t heat them up. I feel like they would have tasted even better heated. Here are a few flavors we ordered and their prices: EARL GREY (black tea) ¥190, PLAIN (original) ¥170, CHOCO CHIPS (chocolate) ¥190, CINNAMON (cinnamon) ¥180.

Right next to it is Ramen Kagari, and when a friend came to buy it, they found it was already closed. They made a special trip the next day and ordered four flavors.

I have to say the plain flavor is indeed a bestseller, it's really delicious on its own! It’s just the right size, the cinnamon flavor is quite subtle, I don’t find the chocolate chips to be too much, and the earl grey is quite fragrant although I tend to prefer not to like Earl Grey much, but it’s quite aromatic (I noticed that Japan really loves Earl Grey tea, it's almost always the first choice for tea flavors).
Overall, because of its good base, everything is actually quite tasty. Crunchy outside and soft inside, even when a few pieces were left until the next day's breakfast without reheating, they were still good. If you are nearby, you can consider buying.
