Savor fluffy rice flour pancakes in a traditional Japanese townhouse
This cafe specializes in rice flour pancakes and is located deep in Higashi Chaya District, one of Kanazawa's three teahouse districts. It occupies an old townhouse that is over 100 years old, and the exposed beams on the ceiling give it an even more nostalgic atmosphere. There are table seats on the first floor, and tatami seats on the second floor, creating a relaxing atmosphere.
The pancakes served here are all made with rice flour milled from Koshihikari rice grown in Ishikawa Prefecture. It is then carefully mixed with whipped egg whites, meringue, milk, and just a little salt to create fluffy, chewy, and smooth pancakes.
The shop manager's recommendation is the "Golden Rice Flour Pancakes" covered in sparkling gold leaf. This gorgeous dish is unique to Kanazawa, the number one producer of gold leaf in Japan. It is also gluten-free, making it the most popular dish among foreigners. Toppings include Kaga Bocha tea and Gorojima Kintoki (local brand-name sweet potato) Mont Blanc cream, as well as Itaya's special red bean paste, so you can enjoy a variety of flavors at the same time. For sweet potato lovers, the "Gorojima Kintoki Rice Flour Mont Blanc Pancake" is recommended. The Gorojima Kintoki Mont Blanc cream goes perfectly with the fluffy pancakes, so you'll never get tired of eating them all.
For lunch, the popular "Noto Pork Bacon Rice Flour Egg Benedict Pancakes" is a popular choice. The restaurant is owned by celebrity MEGUMI, and is full every day, attracting many visitors from within and outside the prefecture, as well as from abroad. It's best to make a reservation in advance to make things smoother.
