[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!"
