Café located in a alley on the way from Hankyu Kawaramachi Station in Kyoto to Yasaka Shrine. I stopped by for a break and ordered the famous hotcakes and coffee set. The tall hotcakes were surprisingly moist with just the right amount of maple syrup, not too sweet. The coffee was refreshing, making it a relaxing break. ✨️

First visit. I was looking for a cafe where I could have breakfast in Kyoto and found this place. It's near Yasaka Shrine and has a nice atmosphere with a counter and tables. I was surprised to find the seats filled with overseas tourists that day. I ordered pancakes and was amazed by their thickness when they arrived after a 15-minute wait. They were carefully cooked and had a light, fluffy texture. I quickly devoured them. It wasn't a typical Kyoto breakfast, but it was good for a cafe! It was delicious! Thank you for the meal!

Today, I visited "Blue Fur Tree" in Higashiyama-ku, Kyoto City. It seems to be the shop that appears in the manga "Maiko-san Chi no Makanaisan". I came here aiming for the heart-shaped pancakes that appear in the story. The location is very close to Gion Shijo Station. They open from 9 am, and I ordered the heart-shaped pancakes for 800 yen and an iced coffee for 450 yen (you get a 100 yen discount if you order them as a set). You need to wait about 20 minutes for the pancakes to be made. The atmosphere inside the shop is calm, with dim lighting and various paintings on the walls. The volume of conversation is also kept low. The heart-shaped pancakes arrived, and they were delicious, especially with lots of whipped cream and maple syrup. After that, I visited Yasaka Koshindo Temple, where many people were writing their wishes. The area was crowded with tourists, and I also saw couples in traditional Japanese attire taking photos with a photographer. Overall, it was a nice experience in Kyoto.

This is a retro coffee shop in Gion Shijo. The legendary hotcakes come in a triple stack of large, medium, and small layers. They are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, topped with butter and maple syrup. The fruit soda is made by pouring carbonated water over frozen fruits. Thank you for the delicious meal.

Café Time - Limited Edition "Berry and Pistachio" Pancakes in March - Coffee Milk (Café Latte). I visited around 4:20 pm. This café operates on a one drink per person policy. The "Coffee Milk" was more like a Café Latte with a generous amount of foamed milk. The much-anticipated "phantom" pancakes arrived in about 20 minutes. They were cooked thoroughly but still had a fluffy texture. The combination of berries and pistachios was spot on! And don't underestimate the heart-shaped cookie topping - it adds a nostalgic buttery flavor. I highly recommend visiting before the end of March.

Blue Fir Tree (BLUEFIRTREE) is a small cafe located in Gion Shijo, known for its elusive pancakes and French toast featured in volume 9 of Maiko-san Chi no Makanai-san. The shop is quite small, so it can be easily overlooked, but luckily I was able to enter when there were few customers (it later got crowded). The interior has a retro vibe, and it feels like locals rather than tourists visit. While they also offer French toast, the real star is the elusive pancakes! The elusive pancakes take 20 minutes to cook, but it's worth the wait. The thick, fluffy, chewy heart-shaped pancakes arrived, complete with heart-shaped butter! The thickness is impressive, not just puffed up artificially, but truly packed with a chewy texture inside! It's no wonder it takes 20 minutes! I enjoyed half of it before drenching it in maple syrup, and it was pure happiness.

On Wednesday at 3:00 PM, I went to Blue Fir Tree. There were three groups of customers ahead of me, so I sat at the counter. I ordered the legendary hotcakes for 700 yen, added the December topping for 350 yen, and also got a coffee for 450 yen. Please note that this place operates on a one-drink minimum. I didn't realize it at first, but it seems like most people come here for the hotcakes, so some may not prefer it. The pancakes were topped with items like azuki beans and were enjoyable to eat. It brought back nostalgic feelings. Thank you for the meal.

The mythical pancake heart costs 800 yen. Set with hot coffee for 450 yen. The heart and circle shapes are the only difference. It takes about 20 minutes to cook. The thickness is about 4.5 cm, a small pancake. The top and bottom are crispy, but the middle is moist. It's not like a souffle that melts, but more like a dense steamed bread. It tastes like a real pancake, not too dry, and delicious. It looks unique. Butter, whipped cream. Maple syrup is unlimited. You might even have room for a three-tier stack. The coffee is on the bitter side.

I visited the restaurant around 13:30 on a weekday. There were seats available and I was seated right away. I ordered the "Phantom Pancakes" for 650 yen, along with a rum raisin vanilla ice cream for 300 yen and a coffee for 400 yen. The pancakes are made to order, so they took about 20 minutes to be served. The pancakes were crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, with a nice bounce to them. They paired well with the rum raisin vanilla ice cream and were delicious. I chatted with the female owner, who mentioned that she loves rum raisin. It seems there were some trial and error before they arrived at this menu item.

Popular cafe on the corner of Yamato-Oji and Shijo with an elegant, cozy interior. The hotcakes are a must-try, especially the elusive hotcakes topped with caramel granola in the shape of a heart. They are fluffy and delicious, a perfect combination that will leave you satisfied until the last bite!

Ordered the Heart Pancake (1250 yen), which had a cute heart shape. The texture was great and before I knew it, I had finished it all. The restaurant seemed very popular as it was fully packed when I visited.

I arrived in Kyoto today. Since I'm not wearing a kimono, I can move around easily (laughs) and explore a bit. The title "Maido-san Chi no Makanaisan" is a manga that depicts the daily lives of geisha living in Kyoto from the perspective of a girl who takes care of their meals. I read it on an e-book before visiting. The restaurant, Blue Fur Tree, is located on Yamato Oji Street. The exterior with plants has a moody feel, and inside, there are counter seats right as you enter and table seats in the back. It used to be a bar, so the dropped lighting and paintings create a stylish atmosphere. I was seated at the counter, ordered the Heart Pancake for 800 yen and coffee for 450 yen (got a 100 yen discount for ordering a set). It took 20 minutes to bake, but eventually, it was brought to me - a heart-shaped pancake on a large plate, with heart-shaped butter and cream on the side. The pancake was about 5 cm thick, crispy on the outside, and chewy inside. It wasn't very sweet, so I enjoyed it with the syrup. The coffee was rich and had a good bitterness and depth. Geisha fans would appreciate the real geisha's fan displayed at the counter, making it a hidden gem of a shop, just like in the manga.

[BLUE FIR TREE] Kyoto ❤️ Gion Shijo ❤️ Phantom Pancakes ¥700 ❤️ In a cafe in Gion, Kyoto, you can enjoy some amazing phantom pancakes! If you love pancakes, this is a must-try! On the way from Ajiki Alley to Gion, you'll find a cafe with a catchy sign that says "Phantom Pancakes" - it's hard to resist! Located just a little off Shijo Street, so you won't get lost. The cafe, overflowing with greenery, appears on the 1st floor of a building. I went before opening, but there were already about 3 groups waiting! It quickly filled up after opening. The long counter has about 8 seats, quite spacious (*˙ᵕ˙*) It's not a sparkly place, but rather has a retro and calming atmosphere, making it easy for solo male customers to blend in without feeling out of place. There is a two-seater table in the back and a sofa seat for larger groups. The menu with toppings is tempting, but first, I ordered the heart-shaped pancakes that seem to instantly increase your girly power! The pancakes take 20 minutes to cook. Boom! Butter in a heart shape! The thickness is about 4.5cm, but it looks like it's over 5cm! The visual is shocking! When I took a bite, I was surprised once again! I've never had pancakes like this before! Undoubtedly the best! Instead of just saying "Yum" after taking a bite, I was like, "What is this?!" I can't express how amazing it is due to my lack of vocabulary! Fluffy yet with a good elasticity and a delicious aroma. I think pancake lovers will enjoy this more than the fluffy pancake types. The dough is moist and firm with an added nutty taste and aroma. Hats off to them! It's a place where you can't make a reservation, so you have to go there in person. Since the pancakes take time to cook, if it's crowded, you'll need to wait a bit. Make sure to go with plenty of time. Of course, they also have regular round pancakes for those who say, "I can't eat a heart-shaped one!" Restaurant Name: BLUE FIR TREE Reservation: Not available Access: Walk on Shijo Street towards Yasaka Shrine, pass in front of Minami-za, turn right at the next corner, and walk about 30m. Be careful on the left side, and you should see a large fir tree. 106m from Gion Shijo Station Business Hours: Cafe AM9:00~PM7:00 Last Order around PM6:30 Closed when ingredients run out, usually on Mondays (open on holidays) #BLUEFIRTREE #KyotoGourmet #KyotoCafe #GionShijoCafe #GionShijoGourmet #Pancakes #KyotoTravel #WantToConnectWithPeopleWhoLoveDeliciousFood #WantToConnectWithFoodies

Near Gion Shijo, a little cafe called "Blue Fur Tree" can be found just a short walk from Shijo Street. The small entrance has two doors. Inside, there are long counter seats and a few tables at the back. When I arrived, there were only two groups of customers, but soon it became almost full. People around me were enjoying shaved ice, but I was intrigued by the "Legendary Pancakes" on the menu. I ordered them, and was told they would take about 20 minutes to bake. The anticipation grew. While waiting, I enjoyed my drink. After 20 minutes, the delicious pancakes arrived with butter, maple syrup, and whipped cream. I poured the butter and syrup over them and took a bite - they were delicious. Unlike the trendy fluffy pancakes, these had a perfect texture and a satisfying thickness. The lingering aftertaste was wonderful! I must come back to eat these again! The cozy atmosphere made for a very pleasant time. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

The elusive pancake set for 1050 yen. Ice coffee morning with pancakes, a typical action of tourists in a tourist spot. It was explained that it would take 20 minutes to cook, but since I was just passing by today, I didn't mind waiting. The freshly made thick pancakes were warm inside, and I enjoyed them with maple syrup. I also added whipped cream towards the end and was satisfied. Due to pressure from various sources, I have minimized my drafts since June 2019, and reduced images to a minimum since January 2020. Please refer to the corresponding Google Maps for images. Morning visit to breakfast in early August 202.

I was hesitant to try the hotcakes, but I heard they also have something like pizza, so I decided to give it a try. I ordered a coffee made with ground beans, and it was American style. The pizza was thick and the pizza sauce was delicious. The music had a cool retro vibe.

Located on Yamato Oji Dori Street, just a little south of Shijo Street in Gion. It's a hidden gem, cozy and perfect for quiet conversations with one or two people. The must-try item is the "Strawberry Cream Shaved Ice" priced at 800 yen. The berry sauce is incredibly delicious, and the shaved ice is fluffy.

The restaurant where you can eat heart-shaped pancakes featured in the manga "Maiko-san Chi no Makanai-san"! It was the most delicious thing I have ever eaten in my life. The thickness was perfect, fluffy and chewy! The texture was unlike anything I've ever had before, I was so impressed. Thank you for the meal!

Enjoy a relaxing time at the café BLUE FIR TREE, where you can forget that you are in the bustling streets of Kyoto. Located just a short walk from Gion Shijo Station, on the first corner to the right from Shijo Street towards Yasaka Shrine. As you enter, you will find counter seats and table seats in the back, with antique-style lamps creating a cozy atmosphere, perfect for unwinding like a hidden retreat for adults. The star of the menu is the "Phantom Pancakes," priced at 650 yen for the regular size, with an optional upgrade to a triple stack for an additional 350 yen. You can also add a coffee milk set for 450 yen. The Phantom Pancakes are a sight to behold, with three layers of fluffy pancakes stacked pyramid-style on top of each other. The thick pancakes are so soft that cutting into them reveals their fluffy texture. The moment you take a bite, the buttery aroma fills your mouth, bringing a smile to your face. The lightly sweetened whipped cream on the side complements the pancakes perfectly. Although it takes about 20 minutes to prepare the pancakes, they are worth the wait. You can also enjoy seasonal limited edition pancakes or heart-shaped pancakes on different visits. With luxurious toppings and visually appealing presentation, these pancakes are sure to satisfy both your eyes and your stomach. Bon appétit! \(^o^)/
