After having dinner and letting your stomach rest, it's a good idea to do some shopping and maybe try out a dessert before heading home. Instead of "Giraffe Crepe," which was there last year, you might want to check out "Shimaenaga Crepe," which opened recently. They have a store in Aeon in Nishimachi too, but it's a bit of a hassle to go there. The menu has been slightly reduced and prices have changed compared to the previous store, but the basic types of crepes remain the same. The Shimaenaga crepe costs 980 yen, while the pistachio one costs 1150 yen. The Shimaenaga crepe is inspired by the Shimaenaga bird and includes marshmallows, biscuits, cheesecake, whipped cream, and ice cream. Considering the price and portion size, how do you feel about the quantity? However, after the price adjustment, they have introduced a system where you can add toppings for an extra 90 yen, which is a good move if you just want to enjoy the Shimaenaga design. It's a prominent feature of the store's name after all. Although it's not crowded, even close to 9 pm, the place can get quite busy. Instead of ending the night with ramen, maybe it's the era of ending it with something sweet! To avoid ordering a menu item similar to what you had at Giraffe, I ordered the "Caramel Whip (570 yen)" this time. I sat on a bench and waited for a few minutes before it was ready. The crispy texture of the crepe is so good, lighter than the chewy type! The whipped cream is not too sweet, and the combination of the caramel's slight bitterness and gentle sweetness makes it easy to finish! Or at least, I thought so, but finishing it was a struggle. Well, I have been going around trying different dessert places, so maybe that's why haha. Let's talk about the calories later, but for a cake, it feels light, but for a parfait or crepe, it feels heavy. If I get the chance to go back, I'll add the Shimaenaga topping and maybe choose blueberry or white bean paste with rice cake. If I want something completely different, maybe a latte or a smoothie. If I do go back, I'll make sure to try something new. Thank you for the meal.
